I realize I suck at absolutely everything now. I have no useful talent. I know for sure now I'll live to be 80 or 90 and in all the time between, I won't ever get to find a nice girl, not even get to have sex. After thinking it over, I've decided to start going to church. Will faith help?
Most of you are so lucky; you got to be normal. I'd kill to be normal.

Trying too hard to be special when one is actually mediocre..

As an atheist, I doubt faith will help. But you might meet a nice girl at the church
Never regret anything that has happened in your life. It cannot be changed, forgotten or undone. So, take it as a lesson learned and move on.

Faith might help with inner peace and all that shit but what I really need is a girlfriend. Or to get laid. Lol. And lmfao, yeah, that would be cool but I'm not going to get my hopes up.

On a previous board, there was a virgin forum where a couple of 'waiting till marriage' girls would post. I didn't see them getting any inner peace from their religion - all I saw was angst because no guy was interested and a "why did God ask this of me?" attitude. Oh, and hate for all the girls who did have sex.
Hopefully it will work better for you.
Do you believe in God? (not going to debate God's existence - I respect your belief if you do) Just wondering if church may help you find the comfort you want.Never regret anything that has happened in your life.

I just noticed your title. Being 'special' is a Gen Y and Z thing. Too many kids raised to think they are something special ....and they actually grow up thinking they ARE special.
No, you're not special - and neither is 99.99% of the other people out there. The only people I think are special are those who contribute significantly to the welfare of others with no expectation of financial gain.Never regret anything that has happened in your life.

At least I'm not deluded about it. Same can't be said for most of those kids.

Ah, but you buy into it. Otherwise, you wouldn't want to BE special

Yeah, but they still have some reasonable expectation of finding someone. I don't. God is a complicated issue for me. I'm exploring Buddhism and thinking about going to church. Originally Posted by basilandthyme

Sure, they have expectations - but not because they are anything special. They simply get out there with friends and meet people. The more you do the same, the easier it will get.
I think Buddhism could really work for you. You seem to be one who would appreciate an analytical approach rather than a faith based approachNever regret anything that has happened in your life. It cannot be changed, forgotten or undone. So, take it as a lesson learned and move on.

I think Buddhism would work. I thought about Hinduism but from what I read, they aren't big on Western proselytes. What I liked about Zen Buddhism from my readings is how not oblique some of the readings were. Most were very practical and insightful and offered a lot of guidance with room for personal reflection and inference, unlike the Bible which has a ton of questions and no real answers. Plus, Buddhism says explicitly that being a Buddhist isn't a matter of saying one is but through action. It's hard to explain but it seems like Buddhism doesn't allow for the kind of hypocrites that Western religions tend to have all over the place.

I remember asking about using church even partially as a social outlet. What's your take on it?

Go to church, pretend to be a fanatic and you might meet a girl who is into religious fanatics.
Don't forget to whip yourself with chains after you commit any kind of sins, otherwise God will not forgive, nor will the girl

My take? When I went to church as a lad, I got lots of female action from girls my age in the church. Be prepared that they may not put out... but don't count on it, heheheh... Originally Posted by YoungCosmo

DON'T go there just to meet women. Go to go. My opinion - discard all the window dressing and concentrate on the idea that God is ever-present for ALL of us, whether they've heard of "Christianity" or not. God doesn't care what name you call he/she/it, or care the manner in which you worship... or even that you DO worship, just that you believe. ALL religions on this tiny blue marble orbiting our sun are full of half-truths and supposition, tainted by the cultures that spawned them.
I've had an epiphany in the last couple of months. God put my feet on the path to get me together with my wife, and God put her feet on that path too. There are too many coincidences to discount. I was wrong.
