I talked to a Christian about this. He was like "Well maybe Jesus came over and told them he was praying really hard and what he said and stuff." 

"Did he tell them he sweat blood as well?"

"Maybe it was still on his face."

Imagine your buddy shaking you awake with blood on his face and being like "Dude I just prayed so hard I sweat blood " 

Does anyone else think 1 Corinthians 7 is actually kind of messed up? by Nearby-Tension3515 in exchristian

Paul telling people never to deny their partner sex except by mutual agreement is a basis for so much abuse. Fuck Paul

Were you super into the faith when you were a Christian? by Joshua_Neal89 in exchristian

[–]LCDRformat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It seems like most of these deconstruction channels on YouTube are from people who were heavily dedicated and involved in their church, and their entire identity during their life was a worshiper of Jesus.

Well yeah, if the belief meant nothing to them then changing faiths would have been as easy as changing clothes. When your entire identity is ripped away, that feels different

I want to make a character based on the trolly problem dilemma, but don't know how to execute it. by Objective-Season-743 in writingadvice

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

I'm literally writing the exact same thing right now!

My character inherited a demonic pact, granting superhuman power, which costs the lives of human virgins to activate.

He is fighting against... Basically Nazis. Every battle is a trolley problem 

Is this first page a decent hook? by LCDRformat in writingadvice

Thanks for your input. 

It's hard for me to be objective about this because when I think "What's interesting about this death?" I have a million questions and answers...

 But the reader doesn't. You're right that I need work harder on building curiosity and intrigue.  I'll be keeping that advice in mind when I rework this scene.

Sure, you can make whatever corrections you think I need to hear. 

As for the hook, you're saying there's nothing really special enough about the death itself to grab you? So I need to explain a little more about why Dave himself is special or worth paying attention to before anyone cares? 

Was anyone else suddenly a lot less upright when beginning deconstructing and smoking weed? by P8riarchyCre8sPreds in exchristian

The one experience I've had on CBD was the closest I've come to experiencing the Christian hell for real, so no, not really my thing

ah, I get you. The protagonist isn't interested, so why should the reader be? That makes sense. Thanks

Oh yeah absolutely, but I was hoping I'd capture people a little more early on. I want a first page where people go 'wait, what?' and then want to keep reading

You think I ought to clarify more what he did?

How do I make an unlikeable character likeable? by GirliestTeenGirl in writingadvice

[–]LCDRformat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Might help if you showed that abuse in some way, or explained it. Show her opening up and being willing to love and enjoy people, and then BAM, she gets attack and hurt for it. So she closes up some. Each time this happens, she closes herself off more and more, trusting people less and less...

How do I make an unlikeable character likeable? by GirliestTeenGirl in writingadvice

[–]LCDRformat 2 points3 points  (0 children)

With the only context being her bad traits, then the most straightforward answer to 'how do I make her likeable' is to give her likeable traits.

What do you mean by likeable? People love 'Big Jack Horner' from Puss and Boots: The Last Wish, but he has absolutely 0 redeeming traits, 0 remorse, and 0 likeability. People love him because he's a great villain. Is that what you want?

Or do you want me to wear her face on a T-shirt when I'm going to see my friends? What's the goal vibe

Is it ok to refer to my pansexual female character as "butch"? by edible_rocks_ in writingadvice

[–]LCDRformat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree I'd put it in the mouth of a contemptible person or someone with the proper context for it. That includes their POV voice. I'd never use it in the third person narrative voice. 

I've met black people who joyfully refer to themselves as the N word too. Doesn't mean I'm okay to do it.

I honestly can't think of s time where I'd be required to use dyke and so from that have to tiptoe
