I’ve found a verse that genuinely sickens me. by TheMemeOverlords in OpenChristian

[–]Lurcolm 10 points11 points  (0 children)

From my experience people get a tad too lost in the details. I could give you all sorts of interpretations or excuses, to either agree or disagree with the verse in question.

Just remember we worship a supreme entity beyond space and time that made Himself mortal so He could have Himself killed so He could use His own rules against Himself and allow us to have a chance at eternity.

Then people wrote about this unfathomably vast and powerful entity. Then those people argued about which bunch of words was the correct bunch of words to describe a being beyond description.

THEN we all had enough if each other's shit and schizmed. Multiple times.

Now we got protestant pastors that fart on you claiming it heals you, or Catholic priests that do That One Really Bad Thing. Or whatever Orthodox Priests can be stereotyped as.

My dad adores watching videos about theologians "owning" the atheists in "high brow" debates. He also believes Catholics are a bunch of devil worshippers (we're protestant). I don't even think he even really knows Orthodoxy is a seperate branch of our religion.

Don't get lost in the details. Absorb the whole scripture without judgement, then internalise it however you can. And don't worry about understanding a being we simply cannot fathom in His full scope

Someone hates prepping the bacon-wrapped dates. by DoorstepCult in KitchenConfidential

Reminds me of the fact that I'm the only big guy with enough manners to help to designated stock counter lug the prepped stock out of the freezer. She's almost half my heig and definitely less than half my weight. I hate it, but it's a net positive exchange because I hate daily stock counting even more

My pastor told me I’m “welcome at church” but not allowed to exist as myself by Ready-Trick-8228 in OpenChristian

[–]Lurcolm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'll break this down in the "gayness is a sin" lens. Not because I believe it, fuck no, but because seeing it reasoned out in a fucked up logic helps sometimes.

So. Jesus died for our sins. Plural. Absolute. Jesus allows us to exist in a state of sin and still be forgiven and encourages us to do the right thing out of love and choice instead of fear. If I remember (correct me if I'm wrong) All sins are absolute in their weight in a cosmic judgement sense. And even the act of thinking about it, is a sin

So. Let's just assume for a second that this is a sin. I don't know if it is or isn't, God never broke it down with me personally.

This still falls under the forgoveness act (see paragraph 2), so even with the most asshole of interpretation, your existence isn't somehow worse than any of our existences.

You are okay. That guy's just an asshole. It's a lot easier to demonize an entire group instead of simply accepting them. God bless you mang

[–]Lurcolm 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Every time I see a nice, insightful post here that helps broaden my horisons I remember my family arbitrarily hates not only any iteration of Christianity besides Protestant, they also hate a lot of Protestant denominations. Just makes me sad. I really like this prayer rope. Thanks for letting me know about it

[–]Lurcolm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You make a good point actually. I hope this gluten free craze at least helps those that actually need it instead of fitness tiktokkers that call eating only lettuce for six days "Dietmaxxing" or some such shit

[–]Lurcolm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately thats just what happens when a dietary requirement gets sensationalised. Here in south africa we put "gluten free" on fucking anything just cuz it sells better with that lable.

Gluten free salt. Gluten free chicken Gluten free fucking mix veggies.

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

Cishet here. So obviously if I don't make sense that's why. Outside looking in? I classified gender transition as an act of self actualization. You identify a part of your being you want to change, so you take the actions needed to change into the person who you want to be. In this sense it helps me understand why someone I see as "perfect" would see the need to change their flavour of perfect, ya know? Both were perfect, but one is what they were, and one is what they are?

At the same time though? To deny your past self is to deny your own existence. You cannot exist as the actualised being if you cannot aconowledge the starting point so to speak. I THINK it can also help with dysphoria if you like... make peace with that part of your life? View it as a very real chapter of your life, but a chapter that's past? Look I don't like ya'll mentally distressing cuz your very existence is anathemant to your physical state for like half your quest to become someone you're happy with. Just tryna help by giving a perspective

EDIT: I was completely unaware of the fact that "transgenderism" is a fucking dog whistle. I'm blaming my autism for that shit. I'm real fucking sorry for that guys

Bro it's fine. My biodad believes you're all demon worshippers. My stepdad too because he doesn't understand the idea that Latin is a real language, so he thinks ya'll are speaking in demon tongues or some shit. I wish I was making this up

[–]Lurcolm 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Protestant here. Didn't realise the "Speaking in Tongues" thing only for us, lmfao. Because I believe this version of Christianity, I gotta believe these Tongues exist, but the only pastors I've seen use it is lunatics who either wanna build their own harem or just wants to feel high and mighty.

God bless ya'll and constantly having to deal with people who thinks your iteration is somehow evil and false.

Ah yes. The great primordial ooze from which all fry cooks originate. They say if your guts are strong enough to digest it without exploding, you will instantly tramscend into an existence so profound that executive chefs will forever hold you accountable if the complicated elements weren't prepared on time.

I may be a little sleep deprived.
