Hi!

I propose the addition of the following operator to C++ (and also for my
own amazing C/C++-like language I am working on due to mental illness):

Add integer value 38 operator: ~..~

Rationale
There is a quite a common need to add the integer value 38 to something
ergo there is a need to provide that facility as a built-in operator.

Usage
int n = 1;
std::cout << "38 + 1: " << ~..~n << std::cout;

outputs:
38 + 1: 39

To increase its utility beyond just the number 38 (sometimes other
integers are needed) arithmetic can be used on it:

(~..~-(~..~/~..~))n; // 37 + n

With the help of the one true god (The Flying Spaghetti Monster) I hope
this important proposal is ratified by the C++ ISO committee.

Does ((~..~/~..~)*80 - ~..~) = 42?

That was funny, but I liked part of your .sig better:

Yeah. If people choose to live a good life, everything would be much better.

There is no way for men and women to live a "good life" without
having a foundation which teaches them what good is, and why it
is good compared alongside other things.

In addition, the world's view of what is good is different from
God's view.

The Bible teaches people the difference. It's why I teach you
to go to the Bible and read for yourself what God has in mind
for us to be and do, rather than what Ricky Gervais believes
we should do. God has it right. Ricky Gervais has it incom-
plete and misleading.

I humbly disagree with that statement. A baby starts to learn whats bad
if somebody steals their candy, perhaps the crime was committed by
another close by baby? The victim should start crying, and get really
pissed off. They will start to learn that the act of taking the candy
away was really bad, aka, stealing.


> In addition, the world's view of what is good is different from

Good is good. God and the world can agree on a lot of things. Is
stealing bad? Yes. It seems like some basic sins are coded in our minds
as being bad already.

Little kids just know the difference between right and wrong, and a lot
of them have never read the Bible. Now, there are some crazy people out
there that claim to not know the difference between right and wrong.
They are usually confined to the nut house.

That view of what's right and wrong is based on selfishness at
that age. It's based on "I want that" and "You're keeping me
from that." It's not based on reason. It's based on internal
drives and desires, and these are focused on selfishness.

That same baby could later on become a career thief, and would
be perfectly fine with that type of lifestyle, could potentially
even be a nice person in real, giving to charity, being active in
a church, doing all kinds of seemingly desirable things based on
the periodic thievery that individual is involved in. People who
only knew that individual tangentially could say how kind and lov-
ing they are.

Not everyone who does sinful things is horrible. In fact, most
people who do sinful things are relatively nice people. They
help their kids, families, friends, co-workers, etc..

NONE OF THAT MATTERS in and of itself. Hell is going to be filled
with moral, upright, even religious people, right alongside the
axe murderers, prostitutes, adulterers, drunkards, and the like.

Heaven is going to be filled with the same kind of people ... that
repented, recognized their sin as sin, asked forgiveness, and were
saved.

There are communities within the world where people do not view
stealing as bad. A group of thieves working together would go
out of their way to help one another out. They would have a
skewed perspective of a conscience or what's right and wrong.
They would not consider turning on their fellow thieves, turning
them in, turning against their actions, even though God would
advise all of them to cease thieving and repent immediately.

The conscience can be skewed and meets the needs of the flesh-
focused life and living.

It is God's Holy Spirit who pours out CONVICTION upon a soul,
not upon the flesh, but upon the inside. And it is there where
the true nature of what is right and wrong stems from.

You don't have to teach a 2-yr old to lie. "Did you eat that last
piece of cake, Billy?" "No, mommy" all the while his lips and mouth
are covered with chocolate.

Kids constantly push boundaries. If you let them get away with
wicked things, they will pursue them and push the boundaries out
even further.

There really is an enemy spirit at work against all flesh in this
world, Chris. You are a victim of it. Your flippant casual use
of profanity here and there, of dipping in to worldliness here
and there... you are double-minded, which means you are worldly-
minded. It's how nearly every is world-wide. It requires the
strict and formal ongoing pursuit of God to overcome it and pre-
vent that natural flesh-focused nature from rising up in our
lives and overwhelming our interests, goals and purposes.

God seeks those who will pursue Him in SPIRIT AND IN TRUTH. They
are the ones who are saved. The rest are just going through the
motions of living out this physical life, with soul as black as
pitch, and their spirit dead from before birth.

I can't stress it enough. We need Jesus Christ to guide us.
Without Him, we have NO HOPE WHATSOEVER. None. We are totally
destroyed without Christ in our corner.

I can see it now... Some thief steals from Rick. Well now, Rick cannot
get mad because that would be selfish in nature. ;^)

You think these things because you don't know scripture. You don't
know what's coming. You don't have a clue who God is. You don't
have a clue what your sin has cost you. You don't have a clue about
anything related to the spirit.

All you know is the flesh, Chris. The flesh is corrupt in sin, totally
deceived by the enemy.

THE ONLY WAY OUT is to seek the truth, which is to say seek Jesus Christ
(because He is truth -- John 14:6).

I've said before I wish I could shake you and wake you up out of this
slumber you're in, this nonchalance about life. I don't want to do
any physical harm, but I want to wake you up so you realize what it
is you're just glossing over so mistakenly carelessly today. Breaks
my heart to see it ... such flippance. It's going to cost you your
eternal soul unless you wake up.
