Did God forget?

Post Reply New Topic

God can't forget, he's omniscient. So either he wants you to be single, or he doesn't care, or he hates you, or he doesn't exist.

Personally, I don't believe in God. So the "true love meant for you" is a silly fantasy. But in that is hope, since it means anyone could be right for you, you just have to make it happen. If that's what you want. You are the driver of your own destiny.

Pretty much how I was about to answer...

Why would it be God's job to pair us up with someone anyway? I believe we have free will to choose our own destiny, God gives guidance and support, but he's not Santa, nor a genie sitting waiting to grant us wishes. We still have to put effort into what we want.

That's my perspective of the universe anyway.

Ah, this thread is so aspie. A post casually mentions God as a way of making a point. Over half of the replies focus on God and completely ignore the actual topic. On any other forum I'd say: trolls. On this forum? No, just aspies.

Anyway, yeah, there obviously isn't "someone for everyone" in the sense that everyone finds someone - since that's demonstrably false. You could say that for each person there is someone out there they just haven't found, but that's a meaningless statement in itself. It's like saying that there is intelligent life somewhere in the universe other than on planet Earth.

But the existence of God IS part of the discussion, because the OP is wondering if the lack of success with love is due to God forgetting.

Well, maybe the OP would do well to consider there IS NO God, and take his/her fate into his/her own hands, rather than a being that may not be there.

But assuming there is a God, either he has forsaken the OP, which means the OP is screwed, or he hasn't and the OP has to be patient and keep trying until God deigns to bestow a mate.

Personally I don't believe in God, and I don't believe I'm owed anything. I'd like to think I'm meant to find somebody, but there is no plan in place, and many of us likely will live and die alone. Accept the reality that there isn't enough love to go around.

You are correct that "the OP is wondering if the lack of success with love is due to God forgetting[,]" not that "the existence of God IS part of the discussion[.]" Forgetfulness isn't existential. Off topic.

If you want to take the God angle, let's see:

God created people in His image. He made men and He made women. Then one day He banged Maria, and they had Jesus. He wants everybody to be happy so made someone for everyone because God doesn't like being single either. Which means the one true love is out there somewhere for you.

Now if we were to look at it through a more logical and scientific point of view, I would advice you to forget about a higher power altogether for a minute. God helps those who help themselves, as He has given you the power of thought and the ability to seek out things for your self. To sit idly by and act as if He forgot you, would be a bit blasphemous.

Why are you dwelling in your own sorrow? I don't know if there is something as 'meant to be' but I do believe everyone can find someone that fits them as a partner. Even the weirdest people have partners. The ugliest people have partners. So, what do you do to meet people?

Hehe because he doesn't exist he is just a man made concept to expliain what couldnt be explained until now!

@OP; delay does not equal denial. For the self-alluded-to results of randomly thrown together bits of cosmic dust who are as dateless as us deists - what sustains your hope in a better future?

Fine, feed the OP's delusion that there is a fictional being out there actually interested in his love life. Personally I think if there was a God he wouldn't give a f**k about one person's love life. He sure doesn't give a f**k about all the Africans dying from Ebola. It takes arrogance to think that there is a deity out there so concerned about you.

To the OP: Maybe God hasn't stepped in because he expects you to find love for yourself. Assuming there is a God. Which there isn't.

Classy.

That's unnecessarily coarse. Did you interview God? How do you know he doesn't care?

Also, he's simply using different language to convey the point that he's lonely. You don't need to wander on in here and tell him his religion sucks too. That's just rude.

Well, I don't know if there's a god or not, but I do know that it seems like love just happens when it happens, I would focus more on finding someone you love than someone who loves you. The only person you control is yourself. You aren't owed anything but you also can't just "take" things when the things are people and their feelings. The only way to find love is to really get to know people and trust that you'll find a connection naturally when the time is right. There is a lot to enjoy in life without being romantically attached. Stay positive, accept where and who you are, and be open to what happens

if he was real, us people on here wouldnt be having problems getting things done the way we want them to.

I'm going off topic, but isn't the problem that a few people are actually doing what they want, taking advantage of others and ruining the world for the rest of us... Mugabe, Putin, Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi, Kim Jong Un etc.
