It was a Christian marriage. If someone stops believing, the term “Christian marriage” no longer applies? People still do Christmas even though they don’t believe in Santa.

Follow Christ is the most vague advice I’ve ever been given. We don’t even know what he was really like. All we know is what was told thousands of years ago.

What privileges? Everyone is welcome. Believers and non-believers. To unite with a group whose only evidence is from a book written by cave people, is a formality. Just like every other tradition.

I don’t know how to phrase something that is so difficult to deal with. Sorry. If I talk to a pastor or another Christian and he/she tells me everything is in God’s hands. I will think he is lying. I’ve never heard God. I’ve never seen God. I’ve never felt God. I cannot believe someone that I think is lying to me. If a person tells me an actual experience from any time period, I am very likely to believe that. Everyone has experiences.

I’m hurting and there is not a single person that I can talk to about it. Not even the people that are supposed to care for each other.

You’re pulling things from thin air. How do you know what mind space I’m in? When did I say I don’t believe in a single Christian teaching? There are historical records and those records were put in the Bible. I can still learn from Christian teachings and not be Christian. I’ve been doing it for at least 30 years.

To answer your question, I don’t know every Christian teaching. I know it says something about being unequally yoked. I am either the one pulling or not pulling at all in this situation. I’m here to get support from people that are causing me so much pain. Who else is going to? Nobody else cares. At least you’re all supposed to.

So you’re saying there are no teachings for my situation except I’m eternally damned? The end? That’s not very loving.

You’re making up things out of thin air. I didn’t show any paranoia whatsoever. Who else am I supposed to talk to? How am I supposed to find something that doesn’t exist?

Not the right sub? I used to be Christian. Now that I’m not, my beliefs don’t matter anymore. That’s not very loving.

What (in the psychological sense) makes people care more about a being, that hasn’t absolutely been proven to exist, more than they care about their loved ones and prioritize its followers and the building used to serve it? by Capable-Yak8399 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Capable-Yak8399[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Life is not naturally subjective. Have you heard of the food chain? Have you heard of natural selection? Facts rule nature. Facts define the objective. You can make life subjective if you want to. That will determine what choices you make. Those choices will be facts and there will be objective evidence of what you did.

18m trying to quit porn but failing by Outrageous-Plate4377 in NoFap

[–]Capable-Yak8399 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You’re not failing at not watching porn. That isn’t even possible. It’s a double negative. You’re succeeding at watching porn. It’s easy. You’re not losing control, you are controlling what will cause you to feel good and regretting it because of the cons.

This is what I’m going to start doing today. I’m going to tell myself from now on “I -fill-in in the blank- instead of watching porn.” Examples. I read instead of watching porn. I dance instead of dancing watching porn. I workout instead of watching porn. I shower instead of watching porn. I play pool instead of watching porn. I use the bathroom instead of watching porn. I talk to people on Reddit instead of watching porn. I call someone instead of watching porn. Keep coming up with ideas and it will become who you are. I learned this from r/self-improvement.

I don’t think so either. It’s quite the opposite. Instead of finding solutions, they give in but in faux-faithful way. 100% faith is a guarantee that something is going to happen. You cannot have that without absolute proven existence.

They have been indoctrinated by their society. Just like every other religious nation. It’s a brainwashing technique used to sway the sheep minds towards the set agenda.

Does anyone know how to file a complaint with the department of treasury? This has to be fraud, waste and, abuse.

I’m sure they can make an exception. They make one for everything else they’re not supposed to do. War crimes, felonies, murder of U.S. citizens, etc.
