The difference is one group of people believe you can be a good person, with religion or without . Religious people say those without are inherently bad. I know which side of the fence I fall on. . You don’t need religion to be a good person. Not bashing those of you who are religious. But. Mind the plank in your own eye before you point out my splinters.

That's why I'm agnostic. I don't like religion either.

correct me if i'm wrong, but...

i'm pretty sure homeless people aren't voluntarily being contestants in a series of controlled childhood games hosted for the deep state in which they compete for their lives to literally the death, until only one is left standing as the sole survivor...

who then goes on to win hundreds of millions of dollars for participating, & winning the squid games 🤷🏼‍♀️

u know what i am saying????

You know what I don't understand, is that the family can commit forced hospitalization, but the State cannot. There are arbitrary hospitalizations by family members as well. Here, in Brazil, if an addict is forcibly hospitalized by the State, it causes a lot of problems.

Yes. I do. Except. They are competing for their lives. Well. Not competing. But. Surviving best they can. And there is no money for the winner. Just more survival. I have a family member that has been homeless for almost a decade. She is, quite literally, tougher than anything you’ve ever seen on tv. Sorry for lacking any sort of levity in the matter, but, if anyone else’s situation is as tragic as hers, and I’m sure that they are, it is extremely saddening. They are still humans, regardless of whatever brought them low.

a lot of forced hospitalizations in general are arbitrary. This usually applies to people with a history of anxiety issues or depression. For example, someone who has a history of anxiety or depression who has been doing fairly okay over the last couple of years, suddenly becomes ill and develops a somatic condition not related to any past mental disorder. In some cases, the patient is not believed, and it is assumed it is “all in the patient’s head”, when it isn’t. The patient is stigmatized because of his medical past. The patient demands to be seen by a specialist, but his GP won’t refer him to a specialist. In the worst case, he is seen by a specialist, but isn’t believed because of his medical past and thinks the patient is a nuisance, going so far as to have the patient forcibly hospitalized for his own “benefit”. Unfortunately, this happens a lot in psychiatry, at least it does in my country.

It happens here too. There was a case where a daughter hospitalized her mother for dementia to control her mother's company. Sad!
 
The State should be in a position to step up to help when people fall on hard times but it doesn’t, or can’t.

The Church (or any other religion) filling that vacuum is a good thing as long as there are no conditions (ie. “We’ll only help you if you worship God”). A lot of churches nowadays are filling that vacuum and they’re finding that people are starting to attend church more and become more involved in church events.

Forcing anything on anyone particularly in exchange for help, is never a good idea as others have said.

Look at Vax mandates as an example - forcing those on people led to rebellions and wild conspiracy theories. Another example is Islamic extremism where young Muslims, often from deprived areas and with no sense of belonging, are targeted by extremist groups and given help/support in exchange for taking their beliefs to the extreme.

Porcupines give out pricks rather than take them. Their sharp quills are a defense mechanism, designed to deter predators. When threatened, porcupines will raise and spread their quills, and if an attacker gets too close, they can become embedded in the predator's skin. The quills aren't thrown or shot but detach easily upon contact. So, they mostly givepricks rather than take them!

ChatGPT coming through for us.
 
Dear @Finn2.0

I wanted to take a moment to thank you for the clear and detailed explanation you provided regarding the process of giving pricks. Your insights helped me understand the technique and importance behind it, and I truly appreciate the time and effort you took to share your knowledge.

Your explanation made the subject much easier to grasp, and I feel more confident moving forward. Thank you again for your guidance and support!

Sincerely,
[Your Name]
