As an Objectivist who detests irrational and delusional religious people on principle... The meaning of life is to be happy and to pursue happiness... Simply the enjoyment of going for a ride. Lol... what the hell kind of Objectivist are you? The best minds in the Objectivist tradition would blast you simply for the emotionally laden language in that first sentence, without even examining your blatantly hedonistic/laissez-faire approach to life. Sorry. Anyway, @ OP: you don't need to defend your decision. If it is your belief that SC is harming you, for whatever reason, stop playing. The dictates of your conscience are all the reason you need. | ||

+ Show Spoiler + While I think your choice is very understandable, because there are great things you can do with your time in real life, it strikes me how people keep falling for the religious trap (obviously constructed by man) that tells them how unworthy they are, and how god is going to do this or that to punish them. The sooner you realize that even if there is a god (which there is very, very likely not, and if so, certainly not in the form any man believes in), he wants you to be happy and not some unworthy earthworm. Make such decisions for the right reasons, which allows you to concentrate on what makes you and the people you really care about (and you can actually see) happy. Yes, faith in God is good, but it takes more than just believing.. Faith without evidence (which is not faith anymore) is very, very bad and the reason for most of the fucked up shit we have to deal in this world. | ||

Not everyone has the same degree as self-control. Not everyone can drink in moderation, or take recreational drugs in moderation. If the OP feels that SC is distracting him from things that he feels are more important, then this is not necessarily a bad decision. For people taking such an existential position, realize that the OP has chosen to pursue his relationship with God as his purpose and goal. Don't bash him because his 'pursuit of happiness' doesn't match yours. | ||

Faith without evidence wouldn't really be faith now would it? Also, I don't consider myself at all religious, infact I believe that religion is limiting, and a lot of it is tradition now instead of a spiritual experience. I think all of us, if we honestly believe something is true with all of our hearts, then we should continue to search out truth and be willing to change how we believe if we learn differently. Nobody wants to believe a lie, and I am 100% confident in Jesus  Faith in Christ is not a religion, its a relationship. And I know lots of people think that you lose your freedom when you become a Christian, but its actually the exact opposite, Christ sets you free from the pain, the addiction, the things of this world; and gives you peace, joy, and hope. | ||

Sounds more like a bunch of other addicts are trying to pin you down so that they can ignore their own issues. Best of luck to you ranged. | ||
