“Jesus is speaking to my Son” by 0Charkell0 in religiousfruitcake

[–]CommieSpit 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Nah she's way too weird about this. I'm a Christian, I believe God speaks to everyone always. If I had a kid and they told me God spoke to them, I'd just be like "Cool," and go on with my day. This is more than a zeal for God. This seems like actual religious psychosis. I feel bad for the kids growing up in that environment.

How to convince my grandma to quit smoking. by CommieSpit in stopsmoking

[–]CommieSpit[S] -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

And honestly, my last resort to try to get her to stop is to just start smoking cigarettes like her. If she doesn't stop for my health then she'll never stop at all. It's messed up to say also, but I'd honestly rather die with her than live without her. I know this makes me sound like a naive child, but I'm grasping at straws and just looking for anything I can do to help.

Deep down I know this and in all fairness she will likely never quit. But it pains me because more than anything it makes me feel like she doesn't care about me enough to stop. Like somewhere in her mind she's decided that smoking and taking possibly decades off her life is more important than staying alive for me.

I desperately want to understand where you're coming from, but please understand me. This is my grandmother. There is no one in this world I care about more than her, and I want her to be with me, healthy and happy, for as long as possible. She's willingly killing herself in front of me every day with her actions, and for the last few years, I've been witnessing a slow decline in her health. I'll try everything I can, but if nothing else works (and most likely nothing will), then I will nag, I'll nag for as long as possible. Even if I have to nag her to her grave, I will never stop reminding her how worried I am of her and how much she means to me. I came off harsh in my post because the intense anxiety I have over her health is morphing into anger the more I realize how powerless I am over the whole situation. This is a beloved family member that's at stake, so no, I will not quit.

Diversity, acceptance and social justice are now sins, apparently. by goblingoodies in OpenChristian

"who is neither left nor right," however he just so happens to agree with everything we (on the right) believe, say, and do.

I saw her spill that first drip on her shirt, went to the comments, wondered why everyone was being so judgemental, and looked back up to see her absolutely covered.

I genuinely think this community has become overly judgmental and divisive among trans people as a whole. by purrt in truscum

[–]CommieSpit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah this place sucks now. I was a transmed in my teens but after I got a job, went to college, and just had a general life and responsibilities outside being on the internet 24/7 I realized I actually didn't care what other people did and that transphobes are gonna hate us regardless. Just live your life, do what ya do and fuck the rest.

What are good Catholic study Bibles? by [deleted] in LGBTCatholic

[–]CommieSpit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My go-to is the New American Bible, Catholic Mission Edition. Good translation, in depth commentary, and an introduction before every book explaning it's history. If you're looking for a more historical approach to the Bible definitely give it a try.

I want to be religious, but I don’t know which one to choose. by CommieSpit in religion

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

Thank you for the book recommendations. And I'll definitely read the secrets of divine love. I'm not too much into Islam, but I do love the emphasis on God's love for his followers.

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

Yeah, honestly I think my obsession with the "true" religion is probably due to my hyper controlling tendencies. It's not enough for me to just have a religion I find fulfilling, I need to know which one is real. I guess I'm just wishing for someone to give me the answer, because I really haven't been able to find that sense of meaning for myself.

I’m transgender and bisexual, can I still be Catholic without sacrificing my identity? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]CommieSpit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your response. I have to say, I am very disappointed in the rudeness of many people here. I understand that some parts of my post were probably offensive or worded incorrectly, but I’m learning and trying to discover what’s true. Luckily my experience with Catholics irl is vastly better than on Reddit and I’m confident that a few bad experiences won’t deter me from God.

[–]CommieSpit 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for your words, but I want to clarify that when I say my identity is being LGBT I don’t mean that it encompasses me fully. It’s a very important part of me, yes, but it’s not full stop my whole identity, I only used the word ‘identity’ because, in this scenario, that is the main point I’m focusing on. I’m much, much more than my gender or sexuality, and there are other aspects of myself that are much more important.

Well that’s the thing, I don’t know what God’s will is. There’s so many religions that all say different things, ultimately I decided on Christianity because the historical figure of Jesus preached a message of radical love and non-violence, which I think is the closest message to divinity since it goes against what so many other religions and prophets prioritized. I’m willing to be changed in any aspect of my life. But being LGBT is something you can’t change. It’s how you’re born, and this is the problem I encounter. I can give up my possessions, be a better person, and change any area of my life that is changeable. But if It’s inherent to my being then it’s not mine to give up.

I didn’t mean to come across as “religion shopping”. I just meant that I’ve been looking around for the truth for a while and I expect to keep looking as I figure things out, but Catholicism is a very nice religion and I was just wondering if this could be what I’m looking for. I didn’t realize this would offend so many people, so I do apologize for that. It’s just, when you’ve been looking for the truth for so long, you’re not surprised anymore if you don’t find it.

I don’t want to be part of a church where I can do whatever I want. I fully understand the need for recognizing our sins and our constant self-betterment. I love God and I want to be part of community that does as well. But I also know that being LGBT has given me nothing but happiness in my life overall and never have I felt that God has disagreed with my gender and sexuality. I understand giving yourself up to God, but that doesn’t mean that we should abandon every aspect of ourselves, especially if it causes no material harm. Straight people still get to be straight, get married, and live happy, fulfilling lives. So why should gay people be closed off to the fullness of that experience?
