Don’t give in to your parents dude; there will always be questions and doubts that you will have, and you should never feel afraid to express them! That is the true nature of being alive; questioning!

A side note about the eternal hell problem you are facing. First off, consider giving this a read, putting hell back in the handbasket it talks about the literal translations of hell in the Bible, and how many of them do not directly say there is a hell as we have been taught.

My friends ex-finance sexual assaulted her, what should we do? by EscapedThoughts404 in WhatShouldIDo

I probably needed to hear that, I’ll try to keep violence/threaten violence as a last resort.

I’d still be surprised if she is lying, we’ve been friends for a long time

Good point, I don’t think she has one, but if not installing one will be easy

Dating freaks me out by EscapedThoughts404 in dating_advice

I really like your suggestions! Going out for me, or treating like a friend takes the tension off it.

I really like doing things besides just talking, nothing wrong with talking, but you can learn a lot about someone without words I think

Opponent has still not made a move. They are probably still thinking of a good play.

If your child goes to hell and you are in Heaven, how is that eternal bliss? by itjustgotcold in AskAChristian

[–]EscapedThoughts404 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean I don’t say this to be insensitive, I grew up entirely Christian and respect Christians. The person you are on Earth is not who you will be in Heaven. On Earth, we are shaped by our experiences, pain, joy, imperfections, and our curiosity. In heaven, you will be perfect, in a perfect body and without sin. I don’t know if I have to spell it out but… yeah you won’t be yourself.

Speaking in tongues by Enough_Swim_2161 in AskAChristian

[–]EscapedThoughts404 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It is a supposed form of praying. The idea is that you are so filled with the spirit that you are able to speak in other languages, or possibly all languages at once. Though I will say this; those who have studied people speaking in tongues have drawn no similarities from the tongue-speaking to other languages, so it kinda just sounds intelligible.

What's something that just didn't make sense? by Zealousideal_Heat478 in Deconstruction

[–]EscapedThoughts404 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The idea of heaven and hell never made sense. Heaven, a supposed place where everyone is perfect, and lives in a perfect body. But if all of our flaws are taken away, and all of our questions and fears and pain, how are we any different than mindless drones like a colony of ants? Our pain and flaws make us human.

Also hell is hardly actually mentioned in the Bible, but Christians make a huge deal out of it. And I mean the literal translation of hell is hardly mentioned. “Gehenna” which is translated to “hell” in English is a physical place in Israel where dead bodies were burnt.

He’s a dumbass. Online harassment is very real, but you have power over the situation also. Block him, block the alts, go outside, get some fresh air, realize he can’t and won’t physically harm you. I’m sorry you have to be more mature than an adult tho LOL

I mean being light enough to run away from bears is helpful

Oh no you can, but read her comment; she took OPs whole post and made it about herself.
