Well in some ways I think you’re right - ultimately it’s on ourselves to find our way be that through religion or not. For example, you can never pick someone up out of a depression but you can certainly come sit next to them, give them company, talk to them and point out that ladder next to them they can climb, but only they can climb it. It would be prideful and honestly quite narcissistic of me to think I can ever with a single message or online chat change someone’s mind, including yours :) but I think that there’s a chance to expose someone to new ideas an inquisitive mind might consider given time and appropriate respect.

When it comes to the ideas of sin/sinful natures and someone’s personal journey toward whatever lay ahead for them, I agree that there is certainly a lack of morality in many ways I think we have certainly lost if not outright encouraged online and it’s easy to find pretty much anywhere regardless of the banner they fly, even in the religious, it’s just often more hidden - but in the end it does come down to that personal journey, it’s not really for me to judge, it’s not really my place. I just know I was taught kindness on Sundays growing up which the world could use more of - I always remember learning “whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.” So much hate and anger in the world today (In my opinion more online than in the real world) for being the wrong color, religion, political position, etc, but I think you would have to agree (hopefully) that giving up on people before even trying something as simple as having an open conversation without boundaries would also be forgoing your chance to share with them how you found peace in your life (which very well may be different than mine) and based on what I detect in the language you’ve used here, it seems faith is important to you and I also remember learning that faith without works is dead, and it could even be considered sinful if someone weren’t willing to do that work of trying to help people where they could try. Am I wrong?
