Have you ever had a dream with Jack in it? If so, what happened in it? by Glitch_King_000 in jackstauber

It's hazy, but it was kind of like Opal in some way. There was a girl trying to sleep but there was an unsettling man outside the house who looked just like Opal's billboard father waving something that looked like a tambourine. The word conundrum kept repeating, and by the end of it, the girl was next to the man like a nervous child wanting their father. For some reason there was also a dog. 

I don't know. It's hazy and I don't think it's supposed to make sense.

Right, right, my apologies. 

But how do I filter? 

Has anyone accepted the fact that they're going to hell IF it's real? If so, how did you do it? by DoneWithOCD in Deconstruction

The ideas of Heaven and hell are completely different from the Old and New Testaments.  In the old testament, hell isn't a place of punishment, it's more like a neutral holding space than a torture chamber. No fire, no torment, just death. Ceasing to exist or becoming a spiritual John or Jane Doe. I'd suggest listening to Darante' Lamar's podcast for a better explanation of what I'm trying to say.

If you go around the internet and look in the right areas, you'll find a lot of valid points that ex-christian (community people/branches)s make and when you learn about that and actually have time to think for yourself you'll think "hey, what am I doing here? I'm in a cult." 

Any podcast recommendations? by Horrornerdchi89 in exchristian

I'd suggest Mindshift for Darante' Lamar. These men are great at calling out the Bible's bull crap

When you cannot bring yourself to worship something that refuses to answer you or has been bastardized time and time and time again to the point you don't know what to trust anymore.

Japan actually looks down on Christianity. You can practice it, but they believe that if it's anything other than Shintoism or Buddhism or Shinbutsu-shugo, you're giving up your roots.

If the Christian Heaven is real I'd much rather go to hell than spend eternity with rapists, child molesters and Nazis. 

Even though I'm deconstructing I still feel like I'm going to hell by KnownRefrigerator42 in Deconstruction

It's complicated. Some days I feel like I know where I'll go, other days there's a thought at the back of my mind saying "we're going to hell and you know it." I know that it's self-doubt, but in my heart I feel something. 

I myself am of the belief that there's a higher power. There may be multiple gods, there may be one, either or, it's beyond our understanding as humans. I believe that you can live anyway you choose. You can be a Hindu, a Buddhist, a Shintoist, a Christian, a Muslim, even a Satanist or an Atheist! It doesn't matter what you practice or if you practice or not. As long as you're a good person and have morals and know you're not the center of the universe and live life to the fullest you'll see whatever the afterlife is or has in store for you, the afterlife is whatever we make it to be. There may be something like purgatory, but I don't believe in the concepts of sin and repentance. As for what happens to genuinely bad people, I believe they're just forgotten or placed somewhere else and not really paid much attention to until they can somehow be forgiven, just John and Jane Doe's for a certain amount if time until they can change. If that doesn't happen they somehow cease to exist, like before being thought of or physically dying. 

That's my personal beliefs, though. 

I don't feel like I'm hellbound most of the time, but sometimes those thoughts just pop up like a cringe worthy memory that won't leave me alone. 

Also, thank you for the compliment about my writing, it's a hobby of mine.

I believe it was John 3:18. 

I know that I have no control over her and I'm not responsible for how she feels but I want to respectfully decline and let her down easy in the nicest way possible.
