Why can't some people stop doing the thing they don't want to do?
They can't stop taking drugs. They can't stop having an affair
with so-and-so. They can't stop drinking alcohol. They can't
stop abusing their children.
 
We see cases like road rage. A person is driving along, and gets
so caught up in their emotions while driving they do some reckless
thing to another driver, only to wonder afterward how on Earth it
even happened?
 
These are all evidences of the influence of some other force than
the person alone at work in their lives. It is easy to say it's
just some chemical imbalance in the brain, or there are these
physical or physiological reasons for X, Y, or Z to happen. That
is a side-effect of the root cause. Those markers may be there,
but what caused them to be there in the first place? Science
would teach us it's some as-of-yet-unknown thing that we will
someday nail down, but it is not. It is the presence of an evil
spirit at work, doing something to that person to cause them to
have those feelings in their flesh, which makes them extremely
susceptible to their influence.
 
THIS IS A WAR THAT'S ON, PEOPLE! There are human souls, eternal
souls, at stake. And the enemy is attacking everybody. God has
given us a way out, and He's made the knowledge of that way out
freely available to everyone. And even when it's in the church
or churches in every town, or through content easily accessible
on the Internet, and even when He sends men and women like me out
to teach people the truth about their sin state and Hell and the
very real salvation offered by Jesus Christ ... still they won't
believe because the influence of sin is that powerful in a person's
life.
 
Do you remember that line from the movie The Matrix? When Morpheus
is there explaining to Neo about the Matrix. "It's all around you.
Even in this room. You can feel it when you ... or when you pay
your taxes" [I can't remember the exact line, but that's generally
it]. He said, "It is the world pulled over your eyes to blind you
from the truth..."
 
We do not live in The Matrix. But that is something you can relate
to in understanding what is going on here. There are evil spirits
at work EVERYWHERE in this world. They have influenced our cultures,
our clothing styles, our manner of speech, EVERYTHING. They are
active in our lives attacking us, active in our lives harming us,
and there is no escape from those attacks by everyone. We are
literally born into it. When we enter this world we are already
dead in sin. We have no spiritual life. We are just this flesh,
and the Bible records that evil spirits can enter in and attack
even children (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+9%3A21).
 
I AM TEACHING YOU THE WAY OUT FROM THAT WAR. THE ONLY WAY GOD ALMIGHTY
HAS GIVEN US TO BE SET FREE FROM DEATH. I AM TEACHING YOU THAT VERY
THING THAT HE FIRST TAUGHT ME, AND HAS REINFORCED IN MY LIFE CONTINUALLY
SINCE THAT DAY.

I can only teach you the truth. I can only show you the way to go
and learn more than my writings. I can only plead with you and pray
for you and desire earnestly within my heart that you will listen
and be saved. And it is it to my great sadness, yet my ongoing hope,
that I continue on trying to reach each of you.
 
You are valuable people. You are amazing and astounding and brilliant
and in all ways desirous as the most incredible creation of God He
ever made. But unless you repent of your sin, YOU WILL BE CAST INTO
HELL FIRE FOREVER. And it is that I would save you from by teaching
you that thing HE first taught me.
 
I love you, and I need you. We all need each other. Please hear
these words.
 
In hope,
Rick C. Hodgin

How do you know we do not live in The Matrix? It is no more unlikely
than the alternative bullshit you keep preaching inappropriately to
technical Usenet newsgroups. There is no less evidence for us living in
The Matrix than for us living in the reality you propose.
 
Interestingly base reality might actually be a mathematical structure
infinite in complexity and scale and human beings are simply self aware
mathematical sub-structures existing in a simulated universe; see:
"Mathematical Universe Hypothesis (MUH)":
 
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_universe_hypothesis
 
A Muslim once told me that reality being mathematics is not incompatible
with his religion and the Qur'an.
 
If MUH is true it is likely that our simulated universe isn't first
class (i.e. it exists within another simulated universe) and it is also
likely that simulated gods exist as simulated "supernatural" powers are
likely to be evolutionary advantageous traits.
 
MUH being true does not favour the Abrahamic god existing (or Christ) as
described in the bible as there is "physical" evidence to the contrary.

Leigh, you've tried thinking things through. It's gotten you to the
place in your life where you reject God summarily, use profanity, and
even all manner of extreme vulgar profanity, berating your fellow man
in grand fashion for posting words you disagree with...
 
Try Jesus.
 
He will boggle your mind beyond anything you've ever encountered
before (if you get a handle on who He is). You should read this
writing Napoleon wrote about Him. It's really quite an amazing
writing:

BTW, how did you ever learn anything if everything is tl;dr for
you? Or is it just those things which would lead you to faith,
Leigh? Is it just those things that would lead you out of your
current darkness, ruled by your current evil spirit masters, that
you then conclude, "Oh man! That's just too much for me to read?"
 
How sad if true.

Jesus doesn't exist: I have taught you this fact and yet you keep

You missed it, Leigh. I gave you secular historical proof that Jesus
existed, and was called Christ, and was sentenced under Pontius Pilate:
 
https://answersingenesis.org/jesus-christ/incarnation/jesus-did-not-exist/
 
-----[ Begin ]-----
 
Josephus (AD 37–c.100, Jewish military leader and historian): ...
his account of the execution of James is generally accepted, and he
mentioned James, "the brother of Jesus who was called the Christ."
 
Tacitus (AD 56–120, great Roman historian): Reported that after
rumors spread about Nero burning Rome, Nero needed scapegoats for
the crime and chose "Christians, [who were] hated for their
abominable crimes. Their name comes from Christ, who, during the
reign of Tiberius, had been executed by the procurator Pontius
Pilate."
 
Pliny the Younger (AD 61–c.112, Roman senator): Wrote to Emperor
Trajan about his experience with Christians.
 
-----[ End ]-----
 
These are secular sources which identify Jesus by name, place Him
in a Biblical context (James' brother -- see
http://biblehub.com/galatians/1-19.htm), and identify Him as Christ,
sentenced to death under Pontius Pilate (see
http://biblehub.com/luke/23-24.htm).
 
-----
I have also shown you proof about DNA being too complex and too
intricately woven to be produced by evolution:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=00vBqYDBW5s
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WPkBEYsG6EQ
 
-----
I know it's hard to accept you've been lied to by the world and
all its teachings. But pursuing the truth is better than continuing
to believe the lie. And in this case, pursuing the truth leads to
eternal life for you personally.

I am well aware of the existence of these so called "sources" (as I said
you have nothing new to say) and none of them provide proof that Jesus
Christ existed.

The truth is that I am correct and you are incorrect. The truth is that
you cannot accept reality and that you are probably mentally ill.

We could only be friends if you promised never to bring up the subject
of anything even remotely theistic in nature which I suspect would be an
impossibility.

Or, we could also be friends if you were to become born again as I
did in 2004. Then we would be on the same page.
 
I didn't think it was possible either, Leigh. I was wrong, just as
you are. I was saved, just as you can be saved. I am not special
or in any way different than (other people apart from the obvious
fact that we're all unique), but I needed a savior, just as you do.
I have sin, just as you do. Etc.
 
We are all in the same boat, and for each person it is a personal
path to salvation. I cannot make you believe. Only God can change
you, and He will in the proper time if you will be saved.

Never going to happen mate; I am as certain that my choice to be an
atheist is the correct choice as you are that your choice to be a theist
is the correct choice.
 
No matter how many times you post; no matter how many times you tweak
your argument without changing the basic substance; no matter what you
do or say it will make NO DIFFERENCE WHATSOEVER. I am a SETTLED
ATHEIST. This will not change.
 
And to save you some time I don't want to see you post for the nth
fucking time explaining how you also used to be an atheist before you
became fucking "born again".

It wasn't my choice, Leigh. I sought the truth, and God literally
changed me from within. I still, to this day 13+ years later,
remain amazed that it happened.
 
And I can also tell you, that "Rick the man" (flesh) still, to this
day 13+ years later, tries often to derail my Christian walk. But
it is God living inside me that keeps it from happening.
 
-----
If you learn anything from these posts, Leigh, learn that YOU DON'T
CHOOSE TO BE A CHRISTIAN. When God calls you, you are changed and
drawn from within so that you can do nothing else. It is the spirit
being asserted, and it is all-changing in your life.
 
If it ever happens to you, then you'll know what I'm talking about.

Bullshit. Following a religion is a choice. Believing in supernatural
things existing is a choice. The only places where it isn't a choice are
in backward theocracies mainly in the Middle East where the alternative
is far worse.

Sounds like the symptoms of psychosis.

Bullshit. You made a choice the only question is did you make that
choice whilst psychotic. I really wish you would see a doctor and take
some anti-psychotics as it would probably result in you halting your God
bothering posts to this newsgroup.

Yes. Christianity is not a religion. It is for some people
because they are not born again, but have simply joined a club
with other religious people. But for those who are born again,
their lives are altered in ways nobody believed possible before
it happened to them.
 
> Believing in supernatural things existing is a choice.
 
Can be. With the born again nature, new "eyes" are given to a
person, so they are able to see and understand many supernatural
things related to God. There are spiritual gifts which exist
and some people possess them.
 
> The only places where it isn't a choice are in backward

No. It's different when a person is born again.
 
Have you ever read about John Newton? A vile slave trader.
He was later born again and wrote the song Amazing Grace.
 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QVhUP7OVnXY
 
History is filled with such people, Leigh. You can read about
their testimonies as a matter of history. And, you can go to
a local church and ask the people there who are born again and
talk to them face-to-face and get their testimony.
 
There are things we are capable of this world does not teach
us. Those things are spiritual, and they only come from
Jesus Christ when He takes our sin away and we are born again.
 
You have no knowledge of this so you don't believe it, just
as I did not believe it before it happened to me.
 
Thank you,

(See replies from others.)
 
What do you want it for? It is IME usually not helpful for a program
to read that information and take actions based on it. And displaying
it to the user ... the user probably has a way to read it already, if
she's interested.

Again, this is system specific, and it doesn't matter if it's C, C++,
Pascal, Ada, Java, or whatever...
 
You need to ask in a newsgroup dedicated to your OS of choice.

The problem is that it is system specific. You will not get any help
from a C++ group, since the answer would be the same for C, Pascal,
or any other language.
 
You need to ask in a group that has "Linux" in its name.
