Originally posted by apathistWell said. God likes people with a positive attitude and hates losers who claim that they are nothing, or nobody or cannot do this, that or the other.

I think pretty much everyone thinks they are on the "right" road. Of course, not all are.

Originally posted by whodeyI think you are incorrect. People rationalize of course and try to convince themselves that they are right. However they are not able to fool their fool their conscience.
No, it is my position that we rationalize our way is the right way.
Even Hitler thought he was doing what was "right".
You have any evidence that that is what Hitler thought?
Originally posted by Rajk999You can try to fool your conscience. In fact, for genocide to occur it is almost a prerequisite.

For example, Hitler told himself that Jews were the vermin of the human race, much today Progs tell themselves that the unborn are not really human but just a parasite. It is only then do you have the moral high ground to impose genocide.
Of course, at our core we know we are wrong, but these mental gymnastics are key in trying to preserve some sanity in the midst of insanity. Naturally, as we progress down this road our sanity slowly leaves us.

Originally posted by whodeySo how can you tell if you are on the right road? Scripture helps only if you need to be told right from wrong. I'm asking how do we determine the correct path?

Originally posted by avalanchethecatYou joke, but make a real point. We have to know our limits. Also there is stuff we are easily good at and so don't need the pep self-talk. It is the grey area where positive affirmations make the difference.
I prefer negative affirmations. You can't do it, but that's a good thing.
