"God" is a tyrant.

[Czernobog]

But that's just it. You want to believe that there is some cosmic moral balance sheet that makes sure "good" people (however you want to define that) get rewarded in this world, and "bad" people (however you want to define that) get punished. Sorry. That's just not how the real world works. There are people that I personally find repugnant that I see living very happy, very successful lives. Just as there are people I find quite virtuous who are miserable.

So then you don't believe that two thankful people will have a better relationship than two thankless people?

Really? Did they teach you that in psychiatry 101?

Thankfulness is not even a quality that I look for when I am counseling. so, I guess my answer would be no. Although,. since it is not a quality that I look for, I cannot give that answer with any certainty.

That doesn't surprise me at all. You don't strike me as a thankful person. You do realize that being thankful is one of the keys to being happy right?

The happy secret to better work

No. Appreciating what you have is the key to being happy. You see, I actually knew what you meant. I was just hoping that you would get the hint that I had a problem, again, with your verbiage. You keep wanting to put things in your own, preconceived box. It doesn't have to be that way.

You are arguing with the experts on positive psychology. Not me. I'm happy enough to see you do that.

You're arguing with 20 years of successful practice. I see no reason to change.

Caring: displaying kindness and concern for others.

You mean like the day care workers that everyone thought were the most wonderful, thoughtful people in the world, right up until they found them m olesting the kids? See? "Caring" is over rated. it is something that is easy to fake.

Cruel: willfully causing pain or suffering to others, or feeling no concern about it.

You mean like the couple I know who are in the BDSM lifestyle, and he is her Dominant, and she is his sub? Uh. yeah. They're deliriously happy. See/ One person's cruelty is another's adoration.

You must be an excellent psychiatrist, lol. You have just argued against being caring. I see you skipped right over being cruel.

Uh...no I didn't. You might wanna go back, and reread...

Considering that you just said that you believe that two cruel people will have as good as a relationship as two caring people and justified it with ridiculous fringe arguments, not really. I got what I wanted from you.

Do you believe two dishonest people will have as good as a relationship as two honest people?

Look, you are not going to get what you want, no matter how many different ways you ask. There is no cosmic moral balance sheet that makes "good" people live better than "bad". Period.

I'm done playing 20 questions,. If this is the extent of what you've got. I will just copy my position, and keep posting it, until you understand it.

You fear logic and reason because you know that logic and reason tell us that successful behaviors naturally lead to success and failed behaviors naturally lead to failure. I would think that someone who was claimed to be a behavioral scientist would understand the self evidence of this. Which is how I know that you are not what you claim to be.

By the way. Since you have now called me a liar three times. Fuck off. Back to the ignore pile. This time for good. Every time I think that maybe you might have decided to be worth debating, you go and be a dick, and prove me wrong. If you are an example of what a Christian is, I am more thrilled now than ever that I am not one, and more determined than ever to never be one.
