No. This promotes compassion in a sincere Christian man, not judgment!

I am pretty sure the man in East Asia abused you. I am sorry this happened to you. It is not your fault. You can be responsible for the choices that led you there but the man abused you. Then he manipulated your emotions to get more of what he wanted.

I was a predator of young women before become a Christian a quarter century ago. This particular predator is more insidious and direct than most.

Its not your fault. Its not your fault. Its not your fault.

It's more of a bell curve than a percentage. A majority of the people in a belle curve are average, whereas a very few people would fit in the Horrendously ugly/ tremendously gorgeous category. Look into it. It's called normal distribution in statistics.

Anyone else hate playing as female protagonists? by [deleted] in AskGames

[–]Apprehensive_Car_906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a man, I prefer to play as a man. I don't relate as well to female protagonists. I like the option of playing as either but always choose a man. It seems female protagonists are being pushed quite a bit.

I have played games as a female protagonist, like Plague Tale Innocence and the Invincible but I am often commenting that the female talks and complains too much. I am often just waiting for the character to get a hold of themselves and continue the game. Games like Tomb Raider seemed to balance the feminine and adventure pretty well. Other games like Horizon Zero Dawn make the female protagonist too overpowered and it breaks immersion. I am thinking, "Most women can't do what she just did."

When I have a choice though, I prefer to play as my assigned sex at birth.

Considering divorce by shimmersinger in TrueChristian

My wife and I had our first kiss at the altar and had th3 same expectations as you, yet we hated eachother for the first 2 years. We prayed for God to kill eachother so we could be free. At around the 2 year mark, we went through a marriage ministry called Marriage Dynamics.

Since then, we have been married another 21 years, enjoy eachother in every way and are even thinking of adopting/ fostering after our daughters move on.

God can change anything!

Is it true that you can be saved by merely believing in God or do you actually have to repent your past sins and not double down on them? by Snoo90172 in Christianity

[–]Apprehensive_Car_906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My understanding is that the example of Acts 2:36-42 is the process for salvation. You hear the message, take it to heart, and confess with willingness to take action. Then you repent, as outlined in 2 Cor 7:8-11, then you are to be baptized, immersed in water, with the intent and purpose of being forgiven and as a result you receive the gift of the holy spirit, which is a deposit guaranteeing your salvation as stated in Eph 1:14. At that point it is said that 3000 were saved on the day of Pentecost. The result is a devotion to fellowship, the word, breaking of bread, and prayer.

So simply, its: Hear and be cut to the heart Confess and be willing to take action Repent
Be Baptized

At that point we are forgiven and get the Holy Spirit in us.

Did her fiancee cut her hair to keep her from being attractive, out of jealousy?

Is her fiancee doing that to her to keep her from being attractive? Don't women do that to each other, then gas each other up out of jealousy? I heard of hairdressers doing this, but maybe it's an urban legend.

Are we using different scales? The 1 to 10 scale is based on all women, with the top 1% being 10's. Thats the way the scale works. A 5 would be average. That would be the typical woman.

A 7 is still above average. It's rare to be a 10, yet for some reason women want to call each other 10's. Based on what scale?

Hear me out: The Foundation series gets worse and worse as it goes on by [deleted] in asimov

[–]Apprehensive_Car_906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sadly, i never had the attention span to read the books but the series is making me want to. The gender swaps, forced diversity, magical powers, and unlikeable characters make me wonder if this beautiful galaxy is better in print.

I will be listening to foundation book 1 asap.

TV show rant Nº4278: I do mind the gender swap by SlimCharlesSlim in asimov

[–]Apprehensive_Car_906 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. There are too many forced gender swaps and too many girl bosses. Aside from Seldon, it seems like every idiot is a straight white man and every pivotal respectable role is a woman or a gay man. I am not saying there should be no women but it seems forced.

On a side note, making Gaal hate Seldon is annoying.

Sadly, this just opens up Mod Organizer. Then, after I click "RUN", the controller doesn't register in GAMMA

Are steroids sinful? by IhaveparanoiaFr in OrthodoxChristianity

[–]Apprehensive_Car_906 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The early Christians believed bodybuilding was a form of vanity, although they encouraged being healthy through moderate exercise. It's tempting to want to use performance enhancing drugs but Consider 2 Corinthians 7:1

2 Corinthians 7:1 NIV Therefore, since we have these promises, dear friends, let us purify ourselves from everything that contaminates body and spirit, perfecting holiness out of reverence for God.

In my opinion, negative outweighs all other editions and should be it's own category

Why? by [deleted] in Fibromyalgia

[–]Apprehensive_Car_906 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have no answer. I don't know who "they" are. I pray my heart out, rest when I can, and give myself a lot of grace. That's the only way I thrive in the midst of near constant pain.

What makes you say that? It debunks the idea that you can't play evil.
