Discussion Am I a terrible person or was it my terrible upbringing that me this way.

[Axii]

I want to believe that everyone isn’t inherently evil, but I can’t help but think that even if my upbringing was good and anything that I wished for came my way, I would still be a piece of shit in my heart. I would still bully others. I would still hate myself. I will still want something more, even if everything was perfect, but then again I feel as if this line of thinking may be flawed when I was growing up, I was physically abused by my mom by her friends around her by the people that she brought into our lives. I was sexually abused by people that my mom made connections with I was bullied all throughout my life, things never came easily, and I always make excuses for what I lacked so with this in mind, I would like to believe my upbringing has influenced my line of thinking I don’t know what to believe anymore a few years ago I was an atheist and then found God again, but with everything that has happened and things that continue to happen and looking at everything in a new perspective, I feel as if there is no God and I feel as if all the suffering has been for nothing and I will continue to suffer as long as I’m alive for nothing I’m sorry I would like to say sorry for all the people that may genuinely love me. I’m sorry for all the trouble I have caused you in life. I do not wish to be reborn into a new life. I do not wish to go to heaven or hell. I wish everything would just stop, but I also have an appreciation for the things I’ve experienced and the things I have seen and I do find an abstract beauty in it all, but it’s all so meaningless and it’s brutal.

Gods final judgement will award justice to those who have had unfair experiences in life. To be unfortunate in life is to have it easier, in a sense that the payment you're expected to give back to the world is smaller when the world hasn't treated you well, in contrasts to someone who has had it easy.

The Rich Young Man
"And behold, a man came up to him, saying, "Teacher, what good deed must i do to have eternal life?" And he said to him, "Why do you ask me about what is good? There is only one who is good. If you would enter life, keep the commandments." He said to him, "Which ones?" And Jesus said, "You shall not murder, You shall not commit adultery, You shall not steal, You shall not bear false witness, Honor your father and mother, and, You shall love your neighbor as yourself." The young man said to him, "All these I have kept. What do I still lack?" Jesus said to him, “If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me." When the young man heard this he went away sorrowful, for he had great possessions. And Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly, I say to you, only with difficulty will a rich person enter the kingdom of heaven."
(Matthew 19:16-23 ESV)

Life is unfair. What truly matters is what you choose to do despite your unfair treatment in life. If you choose to do good even when others are doing evil to you, God will reward you. If you choose to take revenge by repaying evil with evil, revenge is your reward.

The Beatitudes
"And he opened his mouth and taught them, saying: "Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be comforted "Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth. "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied. "Blessed are the merciful, for they shall receive mercy. "Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God. "Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called sons of God. "Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. "Blessed are you when others revile you and persecute you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in heaven, for so they persecuted the prophets who were before you.
(Matthew 5:2-12 E5V)

The fact that you are bothered by your behaviour towards others is enough evidence that you are good in your heart. Do not give up on yourself and keep working on your love for humanity.

In Egypt. (Genesis 12:10-20): During a famine, Abraham and Sarah went to Egypt. Fearing the Egyptians would kill him because of Sarah’s beauty, Abraham claimed she was his sister. Pharaoh took Sarah into his household, but God intervened, sending plagues on Pharaoh, who then returned Sarah and rebuked Abraham.

Abraham doubted God even though He promised him safety. He begged forgiveness and God forgave him.

In Gerar. (Genesis 20): Abraham again claimed Sarah was his sister to King Abimelech. Abimelech took Sarah, but God warned him in a dream. Abimelech returned Sarah and confronted Abraham, who admitted his fear of being killed.

Despite Abraham’s repeated doubts, God forgave him and continued to bless him, fulfilling His promise to make Abraham the father of many nations.

Like God forgave Abraham multiple times, he will forgive you when you fail. There is no doubt you will fail, because you are only human. What really matters is that you are trying your best. I dont know you well but i think that eventually you will be able to love humanity.

“Love is is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonour others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres.”
(1 Corinthians 13:4-7)

Only instincts? We are animals, I get it, but everyone lives in society. Let's all just r**e, kill, torture, steal, and live in anarchy then. If you don't want to live in anarchy then I'd retract my point if I were you.

You don't naturally do these things for no reason
You don't just start killing or raping random people
And anarchy doesn't mean any of the things you stated above (just lol)
As I said live by your instincts and be smart

Sex is an instinct. Naturally wouldn't you have sex whenever you feel? Didn't you say live accordingly to your instinct? And yes, you would naturally steal whenever you need something, and kill whoever you feel the need to. What is smart if there is no right or wrong?

Nah dude you’re misinterpreting the message

Besides this life we live by is nature anyway if I instinctively wanted to r**e and kill I would have done it already I already don't care about society and the thought of me going to prison, if I really wanted to I would.

I instinctively want to just chill and shiet thats why I skipped school today

It seems very counterintuitive and don’t you think that if you had any love in your heart that ignoring them outright is anything of value? I understand not conversing back or “arguing” but it seems all to backhanded. To me at least.

Well, if you have them ignored for one instance of an argument it seems a little backhanded is all, but I understand where you’re coming from.

The reason I think it’s backhanded is because everyone has different views, but we are all under the same conscience. Everyone has the same thoughts it’s just in a different point of time so having to ignore someone to keep your mind in check or the illusion of having it in check this seems strange to me.

no, this person jumps to defend every single person i argue with on this forum. Deliberately goes out of his way to try to find something to disagree on when there is none, as seen when he questioned why i spoke of God in response to someone speaking of God.

Regardless, 1 instance of an argument would still be enough for me. I dont know him well and I doubt he could care less of me blocking him. Im not hurting anybody's feelings and im avoiding a silly argument.

I want to believe that everyone isn’t inherently evil, but I can’t help but think that even if my upbringing was good and anything that I wished for came my way, I would still be a piece of shit in my heart. I would still bully others. I would still hate myself. I will still want something more, even if everything was perfect, but then again I feel as if this line of thinking may be flawed when I was growing up, I was physically abused by my mom by her friends around her by the people that she brought into our lives. I was sexually abused by people that my mom made connections with I was bullied all throughout my life, things never came easily, and I always make excuses for what I lacked so with this in mind, I would like to believe my upbringing has influenced my line of thinking I don’t know what to believe anymore a few years ago I was an atheist and then found God again, but with everything that has happened and things that continue to happen and looking at everything in a new perspective, I feel as if there is no God and I feel as if all the suffering has been for nothing and I will continue to suffer as long as I’m alive for nothing I’m sorry I would like to say sorry for all the people that may genuinely love me. I’m sorry for all the trouble I have caused you in life. I do not wish to be reborn into a new life. I do not wish to go to heaven or hell. I wish everything would just stop, but I also have an appreciation for the things I’ve experienced and the things I have seen and I do find an abstract beauty in it all, but it’s all so meaningless and it’s brutal.

Yeah, genes and environment are everything. Your upbringing predetermines your choices, your brain functions on ingrained genes and also patterns you have learned throughout your life. I find it hard to believe that you would still be a piece of shit if you had a different upbringing. Butterfly Effect/Chaos Theory-even the slightest thing can throw something off entirely.
Additionally, people can still change. Shit happens, man. People can definitely be resilient though. People can learn and change their habits of thinking with new experiences.
As for your feelings regarding faith, that is not for others to decide, but for you. Personally, I am very against organized religions; these formations of masses, a book and person as a source of enlightenment. Why has God chosen to reveal himself to very specific people like Noah, but not to the general populace, instead having them be faithful without even seeing him? In general the ideas of hell, eternal suffering and killing does not match with an idea of a seemingly benevolent God. Also telling people how to live and think. To me, it is bs cope. People often felt scared, lonely, helpless, needing a savior and unconditional love, in awe of nature, blissful, not understanding of phenomena, and wanted to control others, so these organized religions were born, with the collective civilization helping propagate it. Tribes didn't have these; they were merely animists and pagans.
I find things like deism, pantheism, agnosticism, and things similar to that to be the ones that make most sense to me.
As you experience things and learn new ideas that may challenge or reaffirm your beliefs, you can decide for yourself what fits and resonates with you. Most importantly, are your actions in life. You may not even know what you want yet, and that's fine. Exploration. And then work hard. Work hard for short-term goals and long-term goals. Seek connection and love. Nobody is unworthy love. Humans seek connection and socialization with others, it is natural and should not be deprived from you.
Don't deny yourself as well. I think you mentioned where you are afraid of being seen as gay (the roblox thing with the girl), but don't be shy of liking artistic habits. As for the people bullying you for having a "open personality", they are assholes and are gayer than you. Can sometimes be easier said than done, but ignore them, and avoid interacting with these types of people.
Much love to you man.

I'd recommend studying mainstream religions first , then delving into gnosticism, then be free to explore further occult topics
Learn analytic math , and have a good understanding of Newtonian physics and then of you want , you might delve into quantum physics
Start with philosophy

everyone goes through things good and bad, some worse than others. That doesn’t give anybody the right to do certain things or to kill people and etc. 100% what has happened to you influences you whether you really think so or not. I’m not religious so you really don’t have to listen to me if u want to or not but I believe religion isn’t real, it was made by humans so we could be able to process and understand death because our minds don’t know what happens after it. I believe in god, just not religion. I think as god as some higher being who chose to create life but just doesn’t disturb it. just imagine how many planets similar to ours exist, with their own populations and their own species, they probably have the same questions we have. But it’s not like god can control all that, he can’t change what we do and don’t, so you don’t have to put so much effort into thinking what god has done or not done for us, because it’s up to us to figure out our lives. Nothing is meaningless it’s just that you’ve lost hope in it, instead of dwelling on your past mistakes try to fix the present, be kinder to people around you and realize you can’t change how people are but you can at least try to change how you are for the sake of yourself. I’m honestly going through the same thing where i lost motviation for everything, it’s best to go back and do the things that make you happy. hobbies are so important for your mental health so find something like that to do gradually and incorporate into your daily life slowly.

No, I was talking about the native Swedes. Shouldn't burn the Quran though, just the Muslim immigrants themselves.

It's funny, you never see Christians out there beheading anyone for mocking Christ. People publish images of Jesus dressed in drag and all sorts of other compromising portrayals. Jesus is mocked more than any other figure/deity. It's only the Muslims who do that sort of thing. Killing people for insulting their prophet. That's why Muslims refugees should never be allowed to immigrate. Let other stable Muslim countries like Saudi, Kuwait, Jordan, or Egypt take them. The West is stupid for taking people who aren't compatible.

Woah you put it perfectly. The reason you dont see Christians taking revenge is because its against Christianity. If someone does you wrong you turn them the other cheek. In my personal experience i have found much more peace in acting kindly towards those who act rude towards me. I know it sounds cliché but many of those whom i have repaid evil with kindness for, actually turn out to just be sad and broken people in need of some kindness.

If they are being mean to me I’ll say something about it or threaten to beat their ass

I get enjoyment out from that

Ok this is rlly untrue, Christianity is known for being toxic in fact all religions are. A lot of ppl take revenge in place of Christianity, I mean one of the most obvious examples is the ppl that settled America forcing those who weren’t Christian to be killed or either forced and tortured to join Christianity, they also discriminated against Catholics even though Christianity and Catholicism are similar.

irrelevant. People in every religion make mistakes and not everyone follow it properly. Sure there are christians who act bad but they are going agaist christianity. The religion doesnt teach that revenge is ok. I could say im a muslim rn and murder someone. Doesnt mean that islam teaches that killing is ok. Judge a religion by its scripture and not its people because we are all sinners.

Not true, it's not Christianity but it's the people. You can't say somethings toxic because a subset of the population are toxic.
