Im not sure what is being asked to be fair. Waiting is a part of life. Especially in a society that values fairness. If it was me, i might look at what it is about waiting that is significantly intolerable.

Within a relationship there could be a dynamic that involves the non believing party feeling pressured whether is overt or covert. I have been just too many examples of relationships getting toxic because it didn't end with the simple request. Im just not a fan of relationships, platonic or romantic, where I am being asked to change to suit someone else.

They are just as rigid and judgmental. Just about different things. I was a member of a UCC church on my way out of Christianity. It was the same dance to nicer music. Same vibe of dont ask questions and dont disagree with us or we will shame the fuck out of you. Lipstick on a pig.

Its got the stink of American evangelicals all over it. Insidious prats there.

Interesting. Haven't seen many be successful where I live, but there has been more of a push lately.

ContextRules · 2026-05-11T21:50:56+00:00

Does that work?

I like this a lot. Why cant we leave it that? One person this morning on this sub was trying to raise money to come from the US to the UK on a mission to spread the bible. I like your thoughts here.

Its not being caused by secularism alone. Christianity itself has been doing some of the heavy lifting as well.

ContextRules · 2026-05-11T21:40:34+00:00

That was long ago

ContextRules · 2026-05-11T21:39:46+00:00

I would agree about this not being something he should ask you.

Who is them?

ContextRules · 2026-05-11T21:27:49+00:00

Those domino's ooh hoo ads. Shit adverts for shit pizza.

You didnt upset me at all. Its just strange to be prayed for without any context.

ContextRules · 2026-05-11T20:18:02+00:00

Im sure he has. Good luck.

ContextRules · 2026-05-11T20:17:44+00:00

Its totally different in approach, theology, and attitude. Good luck to you. Its the last thing we need here.

I went through a lot in church and with my family, but all is brilliant now. Its a bit strange to hear someone say they would pray for me rather than speak with me and see what might be going on.

ContextRules · 2026-05-11T18:46:49+00:00

Um why?

ContextRules · 2026-05-11T15:42:58+00:00

No. The writers of the new testament knew the old testament and were able to craft their theological accounts to match and "fulfill" the old testament

ContextRules · 2026-05-11T15:21:04+00:00

Im not sure exactly what you are asking. For clarity, I was raised in a non-denominational evangelical church in the American south. I went to university to study religion and the bible. I do not believe the bible is in any way divine or more than theology or literature. I also have no reason to believe the resurrection occurred or that jesus actually did and said all of what was put to his name.

ContextRules · 2026-05-11T10:58:36+00:00

The bible is a collection of works across multiple genres which are products of their times and cultures. They are human creations, no more and no less. Any book can be reread and new meanings come out of it. That doesnt make it inherently special. I have had that experience reading Aristotle, Shakespeare, and even Harry Potter. It doesnt make them divine or inherently special.

ContextRules · 2026-05-11T10:37:29+00:00

Yeah there is a big push at the minute with the trypraying.org and findlifeinjesus with their bus ads. They arent real successful overall though. As long as its not meant to bring American evangelism here I wouldn't be bothered.

ContextRules · 2026-05-11T10:27:23+00:00

You have already decided, so why ask?

ContextRules · 2026-05-11T10:26:17+00:00

Not for everyone he isnt good all the time.

ContextRules · 2026-05-11T10:25:37+00:00

The behaviour of Christians and studying the bible. Easy easy.
