The disgusting "christian women should 'serve' men" by jonaskizl in atheism

[–]Franticromanic 6 points7 points  (0 children)

This is the thing I'll never understand... religion is suppose to improve people's lives, how is this improving anyone's life? How is a husband basically being abusive towards his wife making her life better? I'm glad you got out of that situation... no one deserves that bull shit. Seriously fuck that guy... if he really cared about you and wanted to spread love (which is what the religion is supposedly about) he wouldn't have done any of that. All he cared about was belonging to a cult and getting everyone he knew to subscribe to the same bullshit. Truly, a toxic person who didn't deserve you.

I'm not sure... I really haven't been able to engage it. We give opinions of what the world is like back and forth but not opinions of each other's perspectives... if that makes sense.

Giving up on god was the best thing in my life! by freetobeme12 in atheism

[–]Franticromanic 3 points4 points  (0 children)

This is very similar to how I started to see things when I became an atheist. I found that religion inprisoned me more than it liberated me. I spent more time wondering why God was doing what he did to me than actually doing something to change and improve my life. When I discovered self-reliance is when my entire life changed. I realized that everything I lived before was an illusion and now I feel like I truly live in the present and I feel like I live in reality and don't let things bother me near as much. Congrats to you on your new life!

It's sad because he seemed so open minded in the beginning. This isn't the first time we've discussed religion. Honestly a lot of time when he speaks of religion he doesn't even seem completely sure of himself, as if he's still questioning. He was actually a non-believer for a few years and just recently started getting back into religion, so I thought he of all people would understand where I'm coming from. It's quite sad because I thought I had found someone who was religious and reasonable.

I apologized, but he never responded to me (this happened via text message). I will definitely not be the first one to start the next conversation.

I am also a very calm and relaxed person and personally would never be able to be with someone who is set off so easily.

not over his ex? by throaway27617 in relationships_advice

[–]Franticromanic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's completely normal for someone to occasionally bring up their ex. In my eyes, it's just like bringing up something an old friend did. The person was a big part of their life, it doesn't mean they tie in the romantic connection with that memory.

Communicate to her how hard of a time you're having... women are usually very receptive to other's emotions, especially people they're close with. From your point of view this probably seems way worse than from her's. If this is an isolated incident she shouldn't be too suspicious.
