i do realize that, but that's not why i believe in god. i believe in god because god paranormally slapped me in the face, repeatedly. god lovingly beat the holy shit out of me for a long long time before i ever got a glimpse of "happiness". i don't think that happiness is what it's about honestly. lots of really detrimental things can make you happy, but the truth is hard knocks. and yes, it's a personal thing, and i don't expect anyone to take my word for it. i wasn't willing to take anyone else's word for it.

I am not really sure. I would probably enlist the assistance of a child psychologist to have your son evaluated as well as your idea. His behavioral issues could be due to an number of things, but like all children you ultimately want to get him to a point where he can stand on his own.

Change the psychiatrist not the religion

Change the psychiatrist, not the religion.
Find a psychotherapist (who isn't hung up on Freud) - psychiatrists have the power to medicate-it makes them less creative to find solutions. Also they actually get incentives to prescribe.

Your child won't understand any religion you try to teach him if he's on pills. The medication works because it dulls his senses - adding more confusion. If he already believes that he is a bad child then he probably gives himself license to do more bad since he's got nothing to lose. He needs to be made to feel good about himself, not be given more reason to be afraid.

Your project is not possible to bring off on the time that you have left over after work anyway. He needs all day care from at least one of his parents. The person who suggested changing the environment completely was right. Unfortunately it all seems to boil down to choosing between your career or your child. And if you are one of those people whose identity is very much tied to their work then it boils down to: choosing between yourself or your child. I guess it's understandable if you would rather try anything else than make that choice. I'd be horrified to be faced with such a decision myself - it must be why I never want to be a parent.

 

Care to try and make some sense?

 

Yes God gives that freedom of choice and people who take it with a love of unrighteousness end up being a curse to themselves and a curse to society and a heart-breaking millstone around their parent’s necks. That is of course if their parents love them? The more someone is loved the more hurt they can cause. If they love unrighteousness that is.

for being a slut. you've given the ladies an excuse. what's yours?

 

You have some real issues Adstar. I don't think you were ever loved as a child.

What else can explain your cruelty, beating a man while he is down.

Not to mention the fact that according to you, God made this child so he can play a cruel game on him and his parents.

With you on the sideline playing the cheerleader.

 

that was right after he said "I know exactly what i'm doing,i don't need god"..(JK)

Who said I was a slut?

 

sorry, that's a relative and irrelevant term. you're missing the point.

you told us about these girls who were "destined" to sleep around, because of their religious upbringing, and then you told us that you slept around with them. if their excuse is their religious upbringing, then what is yours?

 

No, you're missing the point. They got fed bullshit and they rebelled when they learned that everything they had been indoctrinated with was bullshit.

They were free, it was liberation.

 

Why would somonene rebel for that? Until things are proven we really dont know becaues if we did know these conversations would not rtanspire, would they? And people are give the worng infromation all the time and they dont "rebel" unless they have some other personal problems then maybe.

 

Now what you believe...to be the case is an entirely different matter.

 

cause i tell you something right now (barring distance) seedind a planet is a very viable undertaking.

 

so how is that any different from your "liberation"? a matter of timing perhaps? a difference is circumstances (that i see as irrelevant)?

the point is...they're sleeping around, and you're sleeping around. what in the hell is the difference really?

 

You lack so much life experience it's untrue, John.

 

The point is, you're missing the point.

 

Well, if anyone cares to know, things are going well. I did not end up choosing to use religion. After some time working with my son, I came to the realization through his thinking, that it would not work and I might lose credibility with him. Thanks again to everyone, you seriously helped me out and I am working harder to coach him and allow him to fail with clear rewards and punishments. The philosophy is that we are a family, and he is part of that team with all the rights and privileges entitled to team members. If he plays well then he stays on the field, if not he goes on the bench. I've had to use the bench once this past month. I'm not sure he got the point, but it was more effective than punishments. I'll keep at it.
