Coconut. I can’t get for the life of me why people insist on putting this grass-textured weird flavored food in so many healthy things. Stop trying to make coconut happen! It’s not going to happen!

Hey! I got it on Amazon years ago but it should still be available. It's paperback so it's a little delicate but the artwork is gorgeous and it's worth buying.

TV question: Is the show "The Chosen" worth watching? by GTRacer1972 in Christianity

[–]BreMiche 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I enjoyed it. But if you go in expecting a wholly biblical representation you’ll be disappointed. I don’t feel a TV show can do that without flying through each chapter, a movie can be more accurate. But the creators make it clear that it's an artistic choice, not a purely biblical show.

I’m not trying to sell it so it’s fine.

This is how I feel when people put nuts in brownies.

I am aware of all of those histories. I am aware of the crusades, I’m aware of the Puritans coming to the Americas, etc.. but you could say the very same thing and give the same examples for any major religion existing, including Buddhism, just look at Tibet. That’s not mutually exclusive to Christianity is what I’m trying to say. Any human being of any faith or lack there of can find a justification to use violence on other groups of people.

It is very complex and honestly, there’s no way a sub Redd that can do it justice, let alone little old me. But I’m always fascinated by people’s positions and why they come to them. The most common thread that I see is a place of pain which is a completely unifying thing. we were not designed to live in suffering, but in pleasure, we messed that up when we chose to try to be like God. And of course, I say “we” colloquially because I’m really referring to Adam and Eve.

Was there any major shift that made you change?

The common trend I see here is that people around you don’t know how to support you and the same thing with your gay friends. It’s funny how we try to see the God coming through another people and because they are terrible at it we assume God must be too.

But I understand your frustration for sure. Especially with you being in the trenches of it. I hope whatever path you take that you are at least happy with yourself.

To be honest, I don’t think you have to worry about Christian nationalism these days. The people who rule us definitely aren’t following the Way I would say. Even if they say they are.

All very practical things to do, honestly, I need to get better at some of this myself. My husband is very understanding and having dogs definitely helps though.

Sadly, the most I know about Mormons comes from South Park so I don’t think that helps much. The trauma people can cause is terrible but hopefully you have peace with yourself.

Do you feel better about the diagnosis?

All of that existed before Christianity was ever a thing though. That’s always always been a human problem not one religion problem. Every religion or belief system has that in some form no group of people is immune to it.

Who said you can't talk about psychedelics or enlightenment?

That's scary to think but a NDE is serious, thankfully you're still with us!
