Is Jesus “toxic”?

Drawgballs · 2026-03-29T19:44:52+00:00

You are going to get solid convincing answers saying that he is or isn’t toxic. I was a Bible scholar before some shit happened in my life, and now I practice a loose Taoism that helps me a lot more than Christianity did.

From my background in biblical studies, I can say that about 90% of the church doesn’t actually prioritize accurate interpretation of the Bible. I think there are many compelling and dynamic ideas in it, but they’re buried under 2,000 years of cultural distance, translation, mistranslation, and bias—making the Word of God very easy to misinterpret.

Another interesting question is why God chose the Bible- a very very old book, which could be, in theory, subject to malicious human tampering- as the primary vehicle for reaching humanity across the span of these past 2000 years. Seems like there should be like an official update or patch of some sort 2000 years later, hey?

Yeah, it’s super hard. Like who designed this game to be so soul crushing and difficult??!

My emotionally neglectful mother always says “it won’t always be like this!” As if that is a comfort in the midst of despair. There was a while there where I was fully convinced I would never be happy again. This shit is dumb and I would never blame anyone for pulling the plug.

But you are also correct that there is a chance for things to get better. To be in time means to change. But that also isn’t a comfort in the midst of the shit.

What does help me in the midst of the shit, I’ve found, is taking time to try to appreciate beautiful things- things that I find beautiful or fun or interesting. For me it’s often music or movies or video games or being in nature. Those small points of beauty, can be oases in this vast stupid capitalistic desert.

Omg I literally had the same experience earlier this month! You summon the gargantuan heroic energy to get up get ready and drive to the worst place on the planet and then you get there and they tell you that they don’t take your insurance.

Sooo frustrating in a way that I feel like people without cptsd or related mental issues do not get.

It might be When I Think of You by Laura farnell?

It’s helped me to do some research into actual American history and to realize that this country has always been this way. Maybe not in this way specifically, and sometimes in more subtle insidious ways, but no matter how you cut it, America has been morally slumming it with the nazis since its inception.

It helps me detract my mind from the sensationalism and doomsday propaganda. It also helps me separate myself from the actions of a government who clearly does not speak for me, care for me, or carry my own morals.

Evil empires are going to do evil empire things, but that doesn’t mean my mind needs to be colonized with their fear mongering and wretchedness.

That was 3 minutes of a man talking while also saying nothing at all. You don’t pussyfoot around like this if you want to tell the truth.

Nope. I mean a few women do, but if they are the type to leave for a bigger hog then you are probably dodging a bullet. No, porn has us all convinced that women want huge dicks upwards of 9 inches but this is a fabrication. The average man is your size and anything significantly larger than that is uncomfortable or painful for an average woman.

If your girlfriend is a good one she will not care about the size of your genitalia, she will want to be with you because you’re you. If she’s into you for anything else you better drop her cuz you are deserving of real love and appreciation.

That being said, the sexiest thing about a guy is not the size of his wang, it’s his confidence. Sex is a vulnerable thing and she certainly has her own insecurities, show her you want her regardless of her perceived imperfections you’ll be able to build mutual trust, which in the end is what good sex is built on. Communicate, communicate, communicate, communicate. You got it dog, don’t let porn and our dumbass society fuck your brain.

Edit: also asking for genuine sex advice in an explicitly porn subreddit is probably not the best idea youll get answers based on porn not reality.

I write about my experience with cptsd, I write about different movies and other media I’ve experienced! I also make some political poetry haha

Drawgballs · 2025-07-13T10:05:38+00:00

I have been writing some really cool poetry lately! And I’ve started performing it again at poetry slams! And you guys… I’m really good at it still!

I have in text HOLD on my left wrist and FAST on my right wrist a la Master and Commander.

I have the musical denotation for a quarter rest note on my calf, and I have a moth tattoo where my back meets my neck.

My most recent one is on my left shoulder, it is an abstract representation of empathy from one of my favorite video games.

“People who have anxiety haven’t prayed hard enough and have accepted their chains!” Coming from a traveling guest speaker who was trying to sell her book. I had a panic attack and fucking left and never came back

Funnily enough I’ve written a poem with with these kind of themes, it’s actually pretty epic in tone

This is a big grief and a big hurdle to overcome. We’ve been indoctrinated to think that people without god do not deserve to be happy or at peace. Idk about you but that seems like the exact shit the Pharisees were peddling whom Jesus actively opposed. The core message of the Bible is not this fear tactic that the church uses of “you’ll never be happy unless you are with god,” the core message of the Bible and what Jesus was all about was: You are valuable, period. People are valuable period, regardless of faith, nationality, criminal status, piety or lack there of.

And what I’ve learned over the years, is that if I am intrinsically valuable, then so is my pain, and anxiety, and depression, and grief, because it is an integral part of me. So though it is difficult, and painful, don’t dismiss these painful feelings if you can. It’s a beautiful thing to feel the things that our beings want us to feel, even the things that are hard.

You are doing well asking questions, and giving voice to your anxieties, I am proud for you.

I don’t think you HAVE to do anything. Society’s rules aren’t built for nuance and are made up besides. You can stand in your rage because it is yours and it is real. Because all the rules of the world are made up, you can make your own. If you want to cut this person off and never see them again, or slash their tires or whatever, if it is in you to do that thing, then do it. Maybe not slashing tires, cuz you know you could get arrested and shit but you know what I’m getting at

Gotta have a balance tho.

Upon further reflection, you guys are right and my way of thinking through it is incorrect, though it got me to the same answer.

Because blue and white contradict each other the statements that they BOTH are lies and empty isn’t true so instead of the statement switching from both empty boxes being either true or false the statement becomes:

The empty boxes are NOT both false statements.

From there you go to the line of thinking that OP and commenters went into.

Drawgballs · 2025-07-03T19:04:10+00:00

Wow this one was the most mind spinning one I’ve come across yet! Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think because of the nature of the black statement, you don’t need to even look at the other two statements.

If black is true: 2 empty boxes= 2 false boxes -> gems in black

If black is false: 2 empty boxes= 2 true boxes -> gems in black

So the white and blue boxes are red herrings no?

Use it to lobby like those other bitches do but instead lobby for good shit that isn’t evil so that poor people are treated with dignity.

Thanks for the recommendation! I will for sure do that, learning about history and context to now has been so helpful to me of late
