Peace has never failed, ever, and never could nor will.

Just because you human beings, in the days when this is being written, had not yet learned how to live peacefully, with one another, as One, in peace, itself, does not mean that peace, itself, ever fails.
Then why can't you live peacefully Age?
Why do you presume or believe that I am not, already, living peacefully?
Gary Childress wrote: Sun Oct 12, 2025 2:09 pmAs far as I'm aware, I didn't address you in my post above, because I'm not aware that I'm causing you any lack of peace. Being aware that you are part of all the problems, back in the days when this is being written, why do you continue to be responsible for these problems.
you, still, have not yet understood what I have been saying, and meaning.
Gary Childress wrote: Sun Oct 12, 2025 2:09 pm Shouldn't you know better by now? haven't you figured out a way to live peacefully by now? If not, then why not? What's keeping you from living peacefully with others?
Once again, what 'we' very clearly have, here, is another great example of while one is presuming and/or believing things they are not able to see clearly, nor fully.

Just because 'you' human beings may not be living peacefully with one another never ever means that 'I' am not.

Where did you get this Truly distorted presumption/belief from, exactly?

That’s his super-power, dude!

How do you think Hell differs from where you are now?

And worst of all, I support "socialism". God doesn't like "commies".
That’s a shitpost.
If God liked "socialists" then he would NOT have made social problems impossible to adequately resolve peacefully and decisively.
If you really wanted to have a Truly open and honest peaceful discussion, here, then you will quickly learn and realise how to resolve all so-called 'social problems', almost instantly,

you have to first learn how all 'problems' are caused and created, and then solving all 'societal problems' happens almost instantaneously.

Again, if you would really like to have 'a discussion', then 'I' can show 'you' how easy and simple every thing, here, really is.

I guess some of us are just "malcontents" who are unhappy with the way the world is and some of those who are happy with the way the world is will always blame the "Malcontents" for being unhappy.

How can you live in "peace" when you yourself have admitted that you share responsibility in all the problems that exist in the world? Do you not have a conscience? I mean, you blame everyone else for everything that happens in the world and then expect others to live in peace now that you've blamed all the rest of us for the world's problems? Or do the rest of us not deserve to live in peace, but you do?

Life is a struggle of futility
it's lonely and unforgiving
but it's still worth living
because the only acceptable alternative
is to never have lived
and that is no longer a possibility

Indeed. Every man and woman should be the last of their family line and live as balls to the wall libertine anarchists. The world today is perfectly suited for this, and if you have to aks why, well... you are one dumb sumbitch. Unfortunately, the bulk of them are, and they wanna form superstitious unions and... wait for it... make more people who will become either tyrants (politicians and capitalists) or slaves (working class)... thus keeping the cosmic gag-reel going here on erf.

Bro, i already explained this once. How we mortals have something greater than anything a God can have... and that's the capacity to defy and refuse, to stand our ground, to say "No I will not!" even in the face of total ruin.

A God can not do this because there is nothing greater than it. There is nothing to defy. And this God can have no pride in anything because he can not struggle.

So he may indeed feel his sadistic pleasure when he torments you in life and burns you in death, but he'll never know what it's like to look a monster in the eye, plant a foot in the dirt and shout moments before it destroys you: "Fuck you. I ain't doing it."

Nah, God has it so much more difficult than the rest of us. You know, not always being adored and worshiped by everyone. It's a tough job but some deity has to step up to the plate and run Hell, or sort out the bodies after a senseless war.

If you ask me (which few do) a world created by a God sure looks and behaves a lot like a meaningless, unjust, and purposeless dungeon. How strange is that?

Or do the rest of us not deserve to live in peace, but you do?
you take so much of what I say out of context and misinterpret it.

And, notice how after 'I' inform 'you', 'you have to first learn how all 'problems' are caused and created, and then solving all 'societal problems' happens almost instantaneously', you are not open, and not curios, at all. Instead of just 'seeking out' any answers or clarity to what I actually say and write, first, you went straight to your normal response of making assumptions, and then jumping straight to conclusions. Which, by the way, your assumptions and conclusions, here, were all totally Wrong, as well as some being absolutely contradictory.

Now, to your first question,

I can, and do, live in 'peace' with all others who are causing confusion, conflict, and even wars, the destruction of 'the world', and who are "themselves" not living in 'peace', because 'I' know and understand who and what 'you' adult human beings are, exactly, as well as how and why you all do the Wrong, as well as the Right, that you all do. I accept I share responsibility in all the problems that exist in the world. But, I also know how to solve all the problems in the world. So, again, I can live in 'peace', while others can not. And remember the words 'peace' and 'happy' mean, and refer to, different things.

As to your second question,

Conscience exits, and like the Mind, it is not some thing one 'has'. Also, 'the way' you framed that question, in context with your previous question, was only take taking further out of context what you had, already, misinterpreted and taken out of context.

To your next statement and claim, which you added a question to,

Is not just another absolutely False claim but also one that completely contradicts what you asked in your first question.

So, to you, do I accept shared responsibility for all of the 'problems' in the world, or, do I just blame all of you adult human beings, only, for all the problems in the world?

To your last question,

you have misinterpreted, and taken out of context, 'my words', you have ended up asking some thing that is just too absolutely ridiculous and absurd to even considering answering, and clarifying.

Now, I will, again, suggest that before you make absolutely any assumption, and conclusion, you seek out and obtain, and gain, absolute clarity in what I actual mean, by 'my words', before you make these absolute False, Wrong, Inaccurate, Incorrect, and absurd presumptions, which have led you to ask the most Truly ridiculous and stupid questions, like this one is.

you may well be dissatisfied with some things "gary childress", which, by the way, is absolutely perfectly normal and acceptable, especially considering 'the world' that you are 'currently' living in, and creating, but I certainly do not see you as 'rebellious' at all.

Also, why do you want to blame those who you perceive as being happy with the way the world as, always, blaming you for being unhappy?

Who else controls 'your happiness' and/or 'your unhappiness'?

By the way were you not yet aware that there is not an adult human beings who is 'happy' with all of 'the way' that 'the world' is, which let 'us' not forget, that is being created by you adult human beings?

In other words absolutely every adult human beings is just like you "gary children" in that they are all 'malcontent' about some thing/s in the adult human beings created 'world' as well as 'content' about some things in 'that world'. So your, what is called, 'black and white thinking', along with your incessant 'self-pitying' is, again, not working, here

How could 'you' possibly be 'odds with' some thing that 'you' do not yet even know who nor what 'It' is, exactly, and nor what 'It' even says and claims, yet?
