RIP School Survival Forums
August 2001 - June 2017
The School Survival Forums are permanently retired. If you need help with quitting school, unsupportive parents or anything else, there is a list of resources on the Help Page.
If you want to write about your experiences in school, you can write on our blog.
To everyone who joined these forums at some point, and got discouraged by the negativity and left after a while (or even got literally scared off): I'm sorry.
I wasn't good enough at encouraging people to be kinder, and removing people who refuse to be kind. Encouraging people is hard, and removing people creates conflict, and I hate conflict... so that's why I wasn't better at it.
I was a very, very sensitive teen. The atmosphere of this forum as it is now, if it had existed in 1996, would probably have upset me far more than it would have helped.
I can handle quite a lot of negativity and even abuse now, but that isn't the point. I want to help people. I want to help the people who need it the most, and I want to help people like the 1996 version of me.
I'm still figuring out the best way to do that, but as it is now, these forums are doing more harm than good, and I can't keep running them.
Thank you to the few people who have tried to understand my point of view so far. I really, really appreciate you guys. You are beautiful people.
Everyone else: If after everything I've said so far, you still don't understand my motivations, I think it's unlikely that you will. We're just too different. Maybe someday in the future it might make sense, but until then, there's no point in arguing about it. I don't have the time or the energy for arguing anymore. I will focus my time and energy on people who support me, and those who need help.

If you believe in a god, what would be your view on god?
We all have seen that people believe in different form of god with different characteristics. There are very few percentage of people that believes in a god that isn't into any mainstream religion. These typically involves gods that are mostly based on creativity, but some views of god are simply the unknown source of the universe creation. My views of god is the kind of god that doesn't appear to share any human-like characteristics at all and basically god is essentially the ruler of all of the dimensions in the universe using several unknown forces that goes beyond the most dangerous human-made force, and this god isn't seen into the majority/all of the religion and especially the religion that shows god shares a lot of characteristics with humans. The god I described is always going to be unknown and is always going to be remaining hidden.
Re: If you believe in a god, what would be your view on god?
You know who I pray to? Joe Pesci. Two reasons: First of all, I think he's a good actor, okay? To me, that counts. Second, he looks like a guy who can get things done. Joe Pesci doesn't fuck around. In fact, Joe Pesci came through on a couple of things that God was having trouble with.
For years I asked God to do something about my noisy neighbor with the barking dog, Joe Pesci straightened that cocksucker out with one visit. It's amazing what you can accomplish with a simple baseball bat....
I had to...forgive my trolling.
Re: If you believe in a god, what would be your view on god?
My personal opinion is that there is a God. Im a Catholic, but not in the sense that most people think of. It is my personal belife that he has a much more laid back approch about it than the church would like us to belive. As long as you pay the man his respects and dont go fucking with his shit then he looks out for you. I also belive that he takes alot of things in stride and has a sense of humor. I mean the dude did create midgets and the platyus.

Re: If you believe in a god, what would be your view on god?
I believe if there is a god, he's not worth worshipping, if he can leave the world go to hell like this.
My God, other than the fact that I still think of myself as a Christian, (my dad's a bible thumper, hard not to be) "God" isn't a specific person. I worship nature. It's not afraid to be an ass sometimes, it can save or destroy a city, and it's beautiful besides.
Pretty God worthy, wouldn't you say?

Why do you still think of yourself as a Christian if you freely admit that a God who doesn't help his created world doesn't deserve to be worshiped? Or do you believe that God is more of a force than an actual being, like nature itself?
Not being critical or anything, in fact I remember having that same viewpoint.
I don't personally believe in God. All religions claiming one exist seem anything but divinely inspired to me.
Also I believe if there was a God-like being, it'd be foolish to think mankind could comprehend it, let alone know that it would send us to burn forever after we die for eating shellfish or something. We would probably be insignificant to a near-omnipotent being anyway.

Worship means to service another. As an Anarchist, this is servitude, and thus oppression. I think they've got it all wrong. God doesn't WANT you to 'worship' God, God wants to be your friend. I wouldn't deny someone who wanted to be my friend who didn't do anything bad to me.

Re: If you believe in a god, what would be your view on god?
Well, I mean, part of me still believes some sort of God exists, but honestly, if I had to follow any set of beliefs, I'd probably pick Wiccan, from what I hear, they have similar beliefs to me, as far as morals go. They also believe that if you're meant to be Wiccan, you'll become one, and that pushing people into it isn't the way to go. Though, I honestly don't believe in their "Lord and Lady", at least, that's what I think they call their god. But that's the thing about Wicca, you don't necessarily have to even believe all that to keep that sort of faith.
I confuse myself sometimes. Its like, I want to be Christian, but to be so, would go against everything I believe in as far as feminism and youth rights go.
I do know the Bible is wrong.
Oh, and my definition of worship is having a deep respect for. At least, that's what I meant when I said it.

He's not doing it himself, someone else has a podcast where he reads the Greek version and directly translates it to English. Apparently he has a good grasp of how the language works, so there really wont be many fuck ups.
If only he weren't a homophobic Nazi, all would be well.
