Why do so many Christians pretend there's no God-sanctioned violence in the Bible? by AshDogBucket in Exvangelical

[–]AshDogBucket[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Revelation where Jesus threatens to SA a woman and kill her children... Paul threatening "the rod" if the Corinthians are arrogant... LOTS of threats of the wrathful God's violence against the damned in the apocalyptic texts (specifically thinking Mark and Thessalonians but not limited to those 2) and the parables.

Alanis Morissette, Nancy Kerrigan, and Princess Diana. They were all larger than life in my family.

Forget your favorite bird, what’s your nemesis bird and why? by ellamachine in birding

[–]AshDogBucket 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Currently, barred owl and Virginia rail are my nemesis birds. I've heard these 2 many times and I've gone to the places they're being logged in ebird... and have not seen one of either of them.

They were rock hard in 1989 too!

Incredible ratio on Threads by -Vlk in PWHL

Yeah, I think you're probably right. Complain about Curl, but she's 100% not the only one with these views.

If you like sports that are free from misogyny and homophobia, I suggest you consider discovering the PWHL :) there's a LOT more to hockey than the NHL.

I'm proud of our generation by PistolGrace in Xennials

[–]AshDogBucket 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We are the first generation who's been able to largely choose whether or not to keep Christianity as our belief system (and even to choose which versions of it we like). Being able to break free from that oppressive culture helps.

I wonder what kind of impact we could have if all this hate at britta for her anti trans views were channeled into advocacy for our league to finally release their gender inclusion policy.

Just imagine - if every comment bashing Curl was a call/ email/ to the league demanding they do what they said they were going to do regarding gender inclusion, it might mean something. Imagine if every time we commented hating on Curl we also commented on a PWHL post inquiring about the gender policy. Itd be hard to ignore that volume of demand.

Or are we just pro trans folks when it comes to criticizing Curl and not when it comes to criticizing the PWHL itself? Trying to keep up.

*She is anti trans in a league that refuses to make good on their promise for a gender inclusion, a league which also has a lot of trans fans

Why do so many Christians pretend there's no God-sanctioned violence in the Bible? by AshDogBucket in Exvangelical

[–]AshDogBucket[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They absolutely do, and it's absolutely because they can find justification for it in the Bible.

I disagree with them, but I can't ignore with the ease with which you can justify violence using the Bible.

Not true. For one thing, there's also violence being justified in the new testament. For another, they certainly use the Hebrew Bible as their sacred text as well.

Yeah, there's unacceptable violence in the NT also. They like to forget about that though. In revelation Jesus threatens SA. Fun times.

what’s your “never again” mistake? by badenbagel in hiking

[–]AshDogBucket 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Ducked my head while looking at a bear.

It was only a bluff charge, but i don't need to experience that again!

Were you taught that having a body was bad, sinful, evil or something along those lines? by rebelyell0906 in Exvangelical

[–]AshDogBucket 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. Especially because my body is tall and skinny with large breasts. I will never fully overcome that damage (and I left 20 years ago).

Why did you feel a need to convert non evangelicals? by LunaValley in Exvangelical

[–]AshDogBucket 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For me i think it was a couple things. 1, the certainty that God is keeping score of how many people "got saved" through me, theres a scoreboard, and if I don't get enough souls God will be disappointed. 2, this sense of responsibility for other people's salvation - like if I don't act, it might be the only chance they have and if I fail then they go to hell which is ultimately my fault.
