So i started reading the bible

Earth, need i say more?

Not a good idea really.

And no, the animals are not happy.

Free will, not a real thing though.

You can start right now and chart every single thing that will happen for the rest of earthā€™s existance. You could even chart all of space if you had the capability to do so.

Itā€™s all predetermined and if a being made it then he made it all that way.

If there be a creator then itā€™s all his doing and no one elses.

I sometimes call it Gods great experiment. I mean, if he foreknew everything that would happen, and then created everything so he could observe it happening and occasionally move a few chess pieces himself, or send angels to move pieces, itā€™s kind of like an experiment.

We also must consider that all the sufferings people endure could count towards their eternal reward that is unimaginableā€¦ there is Biblical backing for this.

Romans 8;18

For I reckon that the sufferings of this present time are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us.

1 Corinthians 2:9

Eye hath not seen, nor ear heard, neither have entered into the heart of man, the things which God hath prepared for them that love him.

Still, suffering sucks, I know.

Jehova witnesses stop by my house about once every two weeks.

They came to my door in 94 and were so shocked they wanted no moreā€¦
LOLā€¦

As soon as I knew who they were I seemed to be inspired by the Holy Spirit and came off with a bunch scripture they could not refute.
they donā€™t believe Jesus is God but Michael the Archangel.
So I asked them how would they explain Acts 20:28 that says ā€˜Take heed therefore unto yourselves, and to all the flock, over the which the Holy Ghost hath made you overseers, to feed the church of God, which he hath purchased with his own blood.ā€™
When it says God purchased with his blood, and only mentions God and Holy Ghost, not Jesusā€¦
I also hit them with a few other verses and how their early 1900s prophecy about the end of the world failed and what it says in Deuteronomy about if someone makes a prophecy and it doesnt happen, donā€™t be afraid of themā€¦

They couldnā€™t get out of my door fast enough. They probably needed debriefing by their elders who had to indoctrinate them with lies lest they begin to believe what I hit them withā€¦

You have hit the nail on the head. This is exactly what happens, but it is hidden from the world behind what appear to be physical and/or mental ailments. I would imagine it happens all the time. Unfortunately some people find the isolation it brings very difficult to handle. And if you are having physical interaction of whatever kind with celestial beings it is enough to send you to a psychiatrist. Having trust and learning to live with it is the only thing that will work. Going to a priest wonā€™t, I guarantee it, and going to a psych might, but the medication may cause side effects.

Best wishes,
