    Beyond discouraged

    I can only second what @Stonetree has said. If clinical depression is a factor here, which it certainly sounds like to me, you may have to try a number of different medications before you find the right one for you - I found that to be the case for me. I would also recommend talking to a...

    Iran sentences LGBTQ woman to death for spreading corruption on earth.

    I am solely going off the Reuters report which I place a certain amount of trust in. That report is clear enough in its references. On the basis of that report, I have reasonable grounds for believing that the Iranian regime have used 'corruption on earth' to justify sentencing those women to...

    How Do you Find A Man?

    Some good suggestions here. FWIW I met my wife through a dating website so they can work.

    Iran sentences LGBTQ woman to death for spreading corruption on earth.

    So it is reasonable to suppose that the Iranian regime did indeed make reference to 'corruption on earth' as their basis for sentencing those women to death. That seems a clear reference to the Quran. Whether or not that is how the relevant verse has been used in other cases takes nothing away...

    What form of autority do you have...

    I don't think I'm alone in finding certain things harmful/immoral and that the world would indeed be a better place if everyone else agreed.

    What is Perfect?

    So God in my worldview isn't perfect in all those respects. But I believe God to be the Creator of my soul/spirit, which is who I really am, not my current material body, and it is to God that I will return eventually, wherein I will find eternal peace. I don't worship God so much as remember...

    What form of autority do you have...

    I think some things are harmful or immoral whatever the sociopolitical context. In that respect, I believe it is my duty to engage in conversation/debate with people who hold harmful/immoral beliefs or believe it is right to do harmful/immoral things in the hope that they may perhaps over time...

    Why are Abrahamic religions so violent? It's the blood.

    Why not?

    Why focus on the negative

    If I see something as negative in a religion, then I'll critique it. If that comes across as focusing on the negative in that religion, so be it. I don't see how focusing on the positives in said religion will help in that regard.

    Sources for gaining wisdom

    A bit of both, if I'm honest. Plus life's many impracticalities and challenges.

    Iran sentences LGBTQ woman to death for spreading corruption on earth.

    I see the principal purpose of the OP as critiquing the Iranian regime's passing of the death sentence on these women (on the grounds of spreading corruption on earth) and linking this to Quranic teachings on the subject. Insofar as you seem to be attacking the OP's basis for doing this, I was...

    What form of autority do you have...

    I don't know about authority, but I believe I have not only the right but the duty to critique beliefs, practices, and teachings that I believe to be harmful, immoral, or just plain wrong.

    What's your view of Iran's decision to sentence these women to death? Do you agree with the sentence?

    Did the Pharisees Purposely Make up Christianity?

    Except Mandaeans don't generally think that John the Baptist accepted Yeshua as the Messiah. In fact, Yeshua is often seen as a false Messiah by Mandaeans.
