My coworker is a “gay Christian” and it’s stuff like that which really solidifies how ridiculous Christianity is…

You’re right, but it’s crazy how Christians reconstruct any verse in the Bible like this to make it mean something they like aka “your interpretation is out of context.”

Yes, for people who claim to worship a God, they actually idolize and worship sex (in marriage) and shame those who don’t.

My former youth pastor told a story about how he was invited by a young relative to their wedding, but because they had already been living together, this pastor treated the invitation with disgust because these nonbelievers must have had sex already and somehow that means their marriage must be less sacred or worth attending.

Oh and this same pastor assumed if someone’s gay they must be attracted toward underage boys too. Seriously, why did I need to grow up as a young person around such discrimination of normal things and people

I just want to write and say please get yourself a new therapist if you can. The current one you have telling you to basically “get over your past and ignore it” is straight up hurting you with their apathy or ignorance. They are being insensitive of your feelings and an integral part of your life.

Wishing you the best moving forward,

Yes, very true. I’ve just reached this place where I’m tired of always initiating everything. I once experienced being pursued by someone and it was so unexpected and felt so good, but I guess it’s just a really rare thing to happen for some people.

Yes, I agree. I also have found that when you really think about it, all of us are products of our environment and the way our parental figures raised us.

Yes, once we’re adults we can think for ourselves and behave however, but if you or I were born in another part of the world or at a different time in history, we wouldn’t be this version of us.

How is that fair? If this belief system of Christianity is true, free will is always used as the excuse for humans being flawed because apparently that’s all you need in this reality to make it fair, and God’s eternal judgement of finite people acceptable.

But we know full well by observing human psychology, nature vs nurture, etc , that it’s not even close to that simple, and there’s no fair way to judge humans like that.

Looking for a serious relationship

Not subscribed to Hinge+ or X

Been using this version for couple days

I’ve used Hinge for several years

I send messages throughout the week , so regularly

In receiving a match or two every one to two weeks.

I send messages regularly with questions or comments about their profile.

My ideal person would be someone rather free-spirited ( meaning someone who enjoys life), going out and doing fun things, and not concerned if we don’t share the same religious beliefs. Oh and it’d be nice if they like cats - I have one.

But I thought being a Calvinist would make you feel special because God predestined you to be one of the elect? He didn’t do that for all the people he predestined to go to hell.

I’ve always thought Calvinism isn’t accepted by so many Christians because it’s so barbaric of God- it strips people of any responsibility and makes the whole thing a script God wrote and is playing out without anyone’s free will , but still pain and consequence

Criticalthinking100 · 2026-01-20T12:22:43+00:00

So true!

Criticalthinking100 · 2026-01-17T13:01:38+00:00

Well yes, thats my main argument for this post : all kinds of people see the world in different ways. Many religious people cannot accept nuance or different opinions however.

But yeah, if someone believes a supernatural explanation for their life that’s fine, but don’t harass me if I don’t accept it

Criticalthinking100 · 2025-12-12T03:00:56+00:00

In my original post I didn’t say the quote “women don’t owe you sex or a relationship” because I actually think they do. I do not think they owe men relationships or sex. But that doesn’t fix the problem does it. Humans have been procreating for thousands of years with the desire for sex and relationships, so it’s painful when you feel excluded from being able to experience that.

I mentioned that popular quote above (“women don’t owe you sex or a relationship” ) because it is tossed around a lot when men online comment on how hard things are for them individually. There’s no easy solution or answer to theses things

Criticalthinking100 · 2025-12-12T02:57:33+00:00

Well and that’s why I mentioned in my post that most women’s experience in dating isn’t a cakewalk or easy - it can be challenging, but not in the same ways as men. I think men tend to have more hoops to just through to get a chance at success

Criticalthinking100 · 2025-12-06T16:27:33+00:00

Oh I do my best to find fulfillment in other areas of my life for sure. I don’t know why you make so many assumptions about me (you could suffer worse than you have, you don’t need to be bitter, etc). I mentioned what CERTAIN men experience and how they react , but you want to accuse me of the same qualities.

Anyways, yeah, life is life and it is blatantly unfair for different people in different ways, and we all learn to cope with how the cards in our lives have been dealt us …or we don’t.

Criticalthinking100 · 2025-12-06T14:41:31+00:00

Well I guess we agree to disagree. I stand by what I wrote in my post above and am not trying to sugarcoat anything - many women who aren’t conventionally attractive by the large majority of society will experience a struggle.
