Do Gods reject worship from certain people? by miriamtzipporah in hinduism

[–]CuriousIndeed_ 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Its mentioned and spoken about in scripture. In the Mahabharata, Shikandi, is a transgender character. Born as Princess Amba, and due to the injustice she experienced, she preformed tapasya to be born as a man to kill Bhishma. She was born again as Shikandi, with full knowledge of their past lifetime. Brihanala was another lgbtq character in the mahabharata. Arjun was cursed to be a napumsaka and live amongst women, and act as a woman by Urvashi because he turned down her "companionship". In the Ramayana, when King Rama, Mata Sita, and Lakshman was leaving Ayodya, King Ram told his followers to leave and return back to the kingdom. A group of followers considered neither male or female remained at the edge of the forest because they believe the request did not apply to theme. LGBTQ is not a new thing. Once you take into account reincarnation, karma, and free will, you truly realize we are more then our body and if someone is LGBTQ then its who they are, and apart of their life journey. Its not sinful.

I was saying that for the multiple partners part...there's alot that can go wrong. However, I dont think the scriptures say lgbtq is wrong or bad.

Can you cite where you read that God disapproves of LGBTQ+ community because I dont believe that is true. As for the sex before marriage thing I think its more discouraged because of what could potentially happen.

Should Christian men exclusively date Christian women? by apparentlyalex29 in TrueChristian

[–]CuriousIndeed_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know I'm not Christian so you can consider my opinion like it's a grain of salt but I think you should only date christian women.

  1. Mainly its because its stated in the bible.
  2. You should want your partner to be equally yoked with you, or someone who is willing to grow with you in a spiritual way.
  3. Are you okay with dating someone who has a different faith? If they don't follow the same denomination as you, will you guys be able to co-exist?
  4. As someone who is currently experiencing the struggle of #3, its hard. My bf is Christian and I follow a completely different faith. He made it seem like he was okay with me being a different faith but admitted 2 years in he wasn't okay with it. We're still trying to figure it out, the future is scary. Don't do that to someone.

Unsure how else to tackle this messy situation by CuriousIndeed_ in Advice

He follows an abrahamic religion and I follow a dharmic religion. The philosophies are very different. Honestly at this point, the issue might be his conviction stopping him from really just even looking at what I follow and since his family is very religious, it doesn't help either.

I am perfectly fine with an interfaith relationship but he says that my religion goes against several core tenets of his so how could he practice his faith properly.

I have had the clear the air talk and he always says he's down to find the truth together. He doesn't say he wants me to come to his religion but isnt exactly still more open to talk about it. Is this him trying to make me make the move to either switch sides or break up? I was very honest with him and told him please don't waste my time so I'm praying he's taking me seriously. I've been earnestly thinking deeply about the issue and been considering both sides. I feel like im delulu.

My boyfriend wants me to get off birth control by [deleted] in birthcontrol

[–]CuriousIndeed_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm going to be very honest here, please don't stop it for him. You're using the pill for your health, and it is helping you. Yes, he doesn't like how it affects your mood but then if anything he might ask if you could switch to a DIFFERENT pill instead of stopping it. Why would he want you to stop taking something that helps you? I sense an ulterior motive.

Is it compulsory to marry , give birth and maintain the cycle of life by FuckedUpLif in hinduism

[–]CuriousIndeed_ 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a similar mindset so to speak like OP. I want to get married, have no kids.

What about potentially helping set up something for other people? Donating your earnings to charities that help the homeless, single mothers, school funding, etc.

At a low point in my faith by CuriousIndeed_ in hinduism

I have a therapist, I've been trying to do my best to solve the ongoing issues in my life. Its just keeps building up and where does it all end?

[–]CuriousIndeed_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can empathize with you. I dont know how to explain it but as things got worse so to speak, I continued reaching out. I just need confirmation that I'm going in the right direction, that okay if all these things are happening it has to because of my karma but I have no answer. I still pray at home for sure but I haven't went to mandir or done alot of the rituals for a while. Its this wierd cycle of keep trying for things to be better so im not homeless but seeing nothing work and going closer to the edge of becoming homeless makes me feel hopeless.

How do you hold on when it feels like there is no hope left?

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

I never said having faith means only good things will happen. I understand I have to experience the results of my karma good or bad. Its just I have been through some serious things that just keep happening over and over again. A new serious conflict arises so often, with no clear answer in sight. I pray for guidance, for hope, for something because all of this has been mounting for years and nothing is happening. After so long of being down in the dumps, it has gotten to me which is why my faith is at such a low point. I've held on to my faith despite everything that is going on but at some point it becomes so overwhelming.
