Sermon #1 - text
[Just a simple little post from username 'Bluemarine', but it's posted for everyone to see and the option to reply in any format you like is there, should you feel like it. Somebody sure has the burning desire to ask everyone a question (or piss off as many people as they can, depending).]
How many of you believe in an afterlife? Or...What I should ask is; how many of you understand that you're slaves to fate and destiny, no matter how unhappy yours might be?
You're welcome to try and change my mind on that front, if you think you have the intellect.

To say that everyone is bound by an invisible fate for all actions and accomplishments takes away initiative and personal choice.
It's saying that no ammount of effort will change things unless pre ordained.
There is always choice and accountability.
no subject
But not everyone was made to be a hero, or even star in a story. Some people simply suffer unhappy consequences because that's fate, and we can gnash our teeth over it but that doesn't change the fact that they're dead and we're alive.

And, I’m not saying fate doesn’t exist, but, I don’t believe it is all encompassing and impossible to escape. We each have a hand in our own fates.

[Looks like the shoujo positivity really cut him deep, weirdly enough! There's a good pause before he resumes communications, clearly to punch something nearby.]
Which is to say that we're both right in our own ways. Not everyone deserves their good luck, and not everyone deserves their bad ends. Sometimes things happen, one after the other, and there's no justifying the why of it unless you accept that these things were controlled by something outside of ourselves.

[But this reasoning was too close to Komaeda's way of thought, a destructive way of thought!]
I know that despair can affect anyone, deserved or not, and there's no justification for it. Sometimes it's inescapable.... terrible horrific things will happen over and over....
Even things as terrible as being forced to murder each other....
But, that wasn't because of some outside all encompassing force, that was due to the choices of individuals. And sometimes those people have more of the cards in their hand, but that doesn't mean that our deck wasn't carefully crafted too! When you don't give up and resign yourself to an invisible force, you can think you're way through any problem. Maybe here and there you get a lucky break, or a bad end, but the important thing is to never give up, to never give into despair, because you can have an affect on your own life and future.
I have seen it. And I will never give up on them.

That happens for another minute or two; somebody's incensed, furious, trying to keep himself in control and from spilling the beans on things that deserve better than to be aired on some shitty anonymous post he made to stir people up.
Finally, all that comes through is:]
Then we're at odds. I respect your opinion, even if I disagree with it; it'll carry you far in life, so hold it close to your chest. [It'll make her dangerous, if he's not careful. The downside of this post is that he can't verify who's who as much as no one can identify him.]
no subject
[After all, everyone comes to their conclusions based on what they have experienced, the same as herself. She can't fault someone for having come to their own conclusions through what life had brought them.]
But for the sake of my classmates, I can never give up, and I will hold it tight, and I will hold them tight, supporting them no mater what.
