I want to say thank you to everyone for supporting me. I have good news and bad news. Let’s start with the bad news… The bad news is that I haven’t prayed in three days. That is normal for a lot of nominal Christians, but not for me. I feel alienated from God, so I’ve lost interest in prayer...

Last night I suffered greatly, having been continually injected with poison by monsters. I pleaded with God to make it stop, but he told me no, saying that because I had some wine he didn’t want to help me. I don’t understand God. Why on earth does he think something as harmless as drinking...

Gluttony is a sin. If a UMC congregation decided to leave and form their own church because their bishop was super fat, what would you think about that?

Um, thanks? Your sage advice is impeccable. We’re all aware of the fact many Christians will flash their butts when trying to enlighten a nonbeliever, and it is an extreme problem because of how much mooning goes on among apologists for our faith. They will be engaged in a very serious...

You’re posting scriptures that aren’t relevant to the discussion. Why do you feel the need to do that?

Religion can be correct even if not every scripture is scientifically accurate. The first book in the Bible is a narrative about God creating the universe and earth in six days, and it gives an account of the first humans and their lives like Adam, Eve, Noah, etc. About half of Christians...

Recently I got a new job. It’s easy entry-level work, and it pays $900 a week. Having been unemployed for quite some time now, it’s truly a great accomplishment to get back in the labor force. I’m also nearly out of cash except for my cryptocurrency investments (which I refuse to sell for at...

This has nothing to do with the thread. Let's stick to the topic.

Why is widespread uniformity of belief necessary for someone who is uncertain about religion to develop certainty about religion? I am an outlier among Christians because my beliefs are monolartist. Monolarty means belief in many gods but adherence to only one; it differs from polytheism, which...

I remember taking an anthropology course while I was in college. Our class studied humanity before written history. One of the things that really resounded with me was the life-span of people back in those days. The average man lived to about age 32, but the average woman only lived to age 21...

I still want to hear it.

Other than saying homosexuality is wrong because the Bible says so, do you know of any other reasons why homosexuality is supposedly wrong? I need to know.

The UCC denomination says some awful things about abortion on their website. They call it “reproductive justice,” and then write this: “As a human rights issue, reproductive justice promotes the rights of people to bear children they want to have, to not bear children, to raise the children they...

The church denomination I attend weekly is United Methodist. They are generally progressive with their views and theology. I can tell by how they speak on various political subjects like social justice: Last week, our pastor made sure to denounce racism and call it antithetical to Christian...

Homosexual acts aren't illegal in Russia. They made it illegal to promote gay acceptance among children and disingenuously called it pedophilia. But the act itself won't result in a jail sentence in that country.

Yeah, you're right. Christian countries did deal with gays much differently centuries ago. In 16th century England, King Henry VIII implemented the Buggery Act 1533. These laws made homosexuality a death sentence. England still practiced killing gay people well into the 19th century, having...

Would you support a ban on blasphemous speech in the US, European countries, and other countries that have predominant Christian populations?

Many conservatives make the "lesser of two evils" argument. They will admit that Trump has his problems and defects of character, but having the Democrats in power would be far worse. I don't necessarily disagree with this idea, but I'm from Texas, a solidly red state. No matter who I vote for...

He brought up the subject of why the left-wing media likes to promote LGBT acceptance, so I gave my input on why they do it. I probably didn’t need to reply, though. Sorry.

I know about the psychology of people with left-wing political views. Many of them are unhappy people, as reported by the New York Times, a very left-leaning publication. The more progressive someone identified themselves as, the more likely they were to be depressed. Vice versa for...
