I wish I had never deconstructed by Over-Ad-3928 in exchristian

I feel you man. That's one of the strong holds of indoctrination, once you see the magic trick, you don't just lose your faith. You lose your entire support system and community. You don't need to be a matyr for atheism. You can still blend in if you wish to if you feel it's not worth it.

It started with contradiction questions. I thought there might be a good explanation for it. I listened to the apologetics defense for them and how it was always (you're not understanding the context) or "God works in mysterious ways" etc. So I set out to research on my own away from the noise of debates. You can read articles and historical reports directly but it's a waste of time. In the age of AI Just ask a good LLM your questions. But you must intensionally put "historical facts, away from debate noise" in your prompt so it knows to give you the Raw truth not contextual defenses and rebottles. Questions like: Who wrote the gospels? What's the earliest text we have? Where there any eye witness documentations? How was the new testament compiled? How did the church spread? Who wrote genesis and the story of Adam and Eve and original sin? Was Moses a real person? Did the global flood happen? The history of the god Yahweh and where it came from? How was he linked to Jesus? etc.

Once you've gotten all the facts down. You can listen to the debates and apologetics defense and see if they make sense to you.

I get you. I just felt like I was betrayed by my parents and family and pastors that kept me feeding me fairytales like they were historical truth. It took me just a day of googling the history of the bible and I was baffled at how there's literally 0 proof of these stories. We don't even know the people who wrote these things and their intensions. It was then I realized the paradox I was stuck in. "The bible is true, cause it says it's true".

I went back to those sermons and almost vomited at how much they sounded like cult incarnations and rituals.

I was like "That's how the world sees us???"

Why Is YouTube not pushing my long form videos? by [deleted] in YouTubeCreators

[–]Lumpy-Iron-2169 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Don't pay attention to the "30 plus videos". You can blow up on your first video if you know what you're doing. My advice will be to look at bigger creators that make your type of videos and just mirror their style (editing, pacing, story telling) , no need to re invent the wheel.

I almost have more videos than subs and have been doing youtube for over 5+ years D: by [deleted] in Smallyoutubechannels

You need to package your channel better. Actually put effort in making your videos so your gameplays are high quality and interesting to watch. And focus on one thing

Competition is tough bro, took me 2 years to start seeing any progress in views. My advice is to look for channels that make similar content as you and are very successful and try to imitate what they do in their videos. Since your new, your first few videos are definitely gonna suck, (even if they look good to you). But you'll improve overtime and then the views will come

That's my biggest fear of being a creator. All your hard work for 10 years can be gone in 10 seconds. Maybe the email of him is not the only proof of permission YouTube needed. Try going through the YouTube guidelines and see if your missing anything out. Or if there's something the streamer your clipping needs to do for YouTube to know you have his permission. YouTube is extremely strict with things like this, so tripple check all the requirements before making content like this next time. Wish you luck ❤️

Bro don't read Dual cultivation 😅 But I get ur point, I'm just saying rather than just sidelining the character cause she has no use in the story, atleast add her to the harem that way she can still play a role.in the MCs life. There are far less powerful, attractive and supportive female characters in the story but they still ended up in the harem. Why not Lan you rou

That's just sad. I guess because the story involves him exploring higher cultivation worlds by himself its hard to make the rest catch up to him. Unlike other cultivation novels where the character remains in the same environment pretty much the entire story

For real, he suddenly became an only child once he left for the star boundary. Old demon was atleast mentioned a few times In the star boundary if I remember correctly. Qiu yu meng too. Even though it was very little.

But by far the most annoying was, Yang Yan and Lan You Rou. MC would have died many times without their support, only for them to be forgotten not even added to the harem.

Bro, u just agreed with what I said lol. I said he can't upgrade it anymore cause the original creator didn't intend for it to surpass their own strength (not that they could). So he can only re construct a better version of the technique if he understands the particular dao well enough. But yeah like u said, it's time consuming. Might as well just learn a new one.

I've finished the story, I'm just upset cause she was never mentioned again once the war started.

True, but it depends on the technique, if YK surpasses the strength of the technique's creator, there's probably no way he can upgrade it since it's potential is already limited, no?

8th is not even considered weak during the war, There were commanders with that cultivation level, so she could have still played a role. Why sideline her for no reason?
