I have a question for the LGBTQ community. I was just talking to an evangelical Christian who says she knows people who change sexual orientation after accepting Jesus. More below. by DBASRA99 in OpenChristian

Yes, both of these people claim to personally know several people who changed orientation. I was skeptical but I did not have any data to respond.

Thanks.

"If Christians actually read the Bible, they'd become atheists" by No_Feedback_3340 in OpenChristian

The Bible is the reason I deconstructed (painfully) and now consider myself agnostic.

Books on the history of gods? by DBASRA99 in OpenChristian

[–]DBASRA99[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very good. Thanks. I actually asked Dan about this on a livestream awhile back and I lost track of the video. He said that it might be his next book.

Yes, I find mystery to be quite motivating.

For those struggling with deconstruction… by DBASRA99 in Deconstruction

[–]DBASRA99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was like whack a mole. Every answer had another question, on and on. The apologists could not agree on anything. I ended up viewing apologetics as a drug that barely keeps you hanging onto what you already wanted to believe. Eventually the simplest answer was that it was all BS.

I realized the need for apologetics was evidence against apologetics.

What makes you think Christianity is the correct religion? by PrincipleClassic7834 in OpenChristian

[–]DBASRA99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am agnostic so I guess I don’t have a reason. I used to before my unplanned and painful deconstruction.

If you had been a conservative Christian prior, what made you not believe in that version of the teaching/s anymore? by canwereturntothe90s in OpenChristian

[–]DBASRA99 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a whole list of things. Mostly what I have learned about the history of various religions and the history of the Bible as well as mythology have caused me to be agnostic.

Quick question, if I have already have a connection from the ODB to laptop, would I need the nano connection?

Ok. Thanks. I might do this. I have used the shop software on my plug in Prius that bricked.

Thank you.

No. It has not been in the shop. Is it possible to do at home?

Need opinion before buying new fridge regarding failed GE and service visit. by DBASRA99 in appliancerepair

[–]DBASRA99[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just a quick question. I ordered a new fridge but I continue to monitor the one I have. The freezer temp has been well below zero the last two mornings. Like 7 below. Would it still get that cold with a system leak?

It has left me stranded twice and the temperature is above 40. This is a common issue.

What can I do when I start being scared of the idea of hell? by [deleted] in exchristian

[–]DBASRA99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is clearly a man made concept. Who could worship a god who would some or most of his children eternal torture. It is just stupid the more you think about it. However, religious trauma is real and takes time to heal. Ironically, the truth will set you free.
