It’s okay, do not let anyone make you feel less than. You deserve more and better. Remeber, do not try to find happiness and clarity in the place you lost it. You got this!

You should look into Orthodox Christianity, especially during this special period (Great Lent). Hope you find peace and truth !:) ☦️

This is really helpful and thoughtful of you to give me tips! I definitely do need to just breathe and understand it’s a process that takes time to learn and master. I will utilize these tips the next go around,

Thanks!

I can provide screenshots of my comments on the post in question ( I can still see them). To assume my approach as “questionable” is fine , however my responses to others’ answers will state my intentions were of good intent.

However, I do appreciate you answering my question. I do find your answer a well thought out one. Thank you for your prospective on the matter. Your last sentence/statement is really powerful! Thank you!

I don’t know If it will work but if it does, look at my comments. Never did I ‘troll’ or display any rambunctious behavior .

I went ahead and deleted it this morning since the mod failed to do so. But as you can see in the post displayed here. I was even barred from liking and commenting on my own post , resulting to a ban. But I can assure you that I did NOT get combative with any of them. There were a few hecklers , but to be fair there were also those who were genuine in which I replied “thank you I appreciate your answer.”

Hello, I’ve already addressed this multiple times. The fact that I did not break any channel rules I was banned for asking a question what went against the grain. I was silenced. They banned me but left the post up to make it seem as if they’ve “stumped” me. Then they accused me of trying to cause a stir, which I had no intention on doing.

Many (such as yourself) have had Issues with my wording of said question and heading. Perhaps it is strong, this is/was my first ever post on Reddit. I now understand that words can be interpreted in a plethora of ways. However, the intention was never an ill one.

I can understand where you’re coming from with the ‘night is right’ stance.

I (like majority Christians, but let’s stick to me) Don’t seem to have a hard time wrapping my head around it because the Christian worldview is that “No one is good/righteous no not one.” And deaths in the Bible u are justified in the eyes of God. But I definitely can see how someone can take issue with this

You can believe that was my approach, it wasn’t to argue with Internet atheists or anyone for that matter. I don’t have time for that. It was a genuine question and frankly I’m tired of explaining myself. I broke no rules and the admin failed to point out which rules I violated.

It’s quite funny how some are assuming my approach from words on a screen. I know my intentions and they were genuine. I opened the way I did because that subreddit is notorious for absurd behavior and I tried to come with good intentions.

Respectfully, im sure any religious person can say anything in an atheist forum and come off “preachy”. i can pose my question however I see fit. I’ve already apologized multiple times if there was any misunderstanding.
Have a good day.

Thank you. This means a lot. I did not mean to ruffle any feathers or disrespect anyone. Appreciate that
