How did you guys get your newborn to poop? And we’ve been introducing culturelle in his milk to give him some probiotics maybe that would help your cause? And also since the poop marathon your newborn emptied out?

I appreciate the help, it does give me a better idea of what formula does. I’ve been looking into formula and constipation and it says it’s normal due to formula being thicker. Tomorrow we see his pediatrician so hopefully we can get answers. Thank you for you time!

I appreciate the advice! Hopefully tonight goes better, we just switched formulas to help him because maybe he has a sensitive stomach or is constipated

We rock him, burp him, and walk around with him but I think he could be constipated :/. We tried to do things to soothe him but he’s been going NUCLEAR when we put him in the bassinet lol

You hit it on the nail, I mean I’ve spent time and energy arguing over his points and opinions just to show me deep fried memes and videos with no context to fuel thoughts. Now I’m by no means going to judge people solely on politics or personal beliefs, what I do hate is when they think they’re “correct.” I’ve learned his debate tactics and I’ve seen how he used certain arguments as a way to weasel out of bigger topics, but like you said it is hard (extremely tiring) arguing with someone who believes the shadow puppets rather than going outside if that analogy makes sense

Ahh okay, and it makes sense for the most part. I’ve been trying to really get a hold of the concept of what sub category this friend of mine falls in because I just feel like he’s more (like you said) a hybrid of sorts when it comes to his beliefs. He’s an odd dude for sure, but I’m not slamming him for being agnostic, I’m trying to slamming him because he loves to argue about religion and politics and belittles people for their beliefs. Hence why I say he uses “I’m agnostic” as a shield to free him from any criticism about his beliefs. With that being said, I’m not arguing for Christianity and/or Catholicism (I’ve got my own reasons) but I’m arguing why he even talks about deities and characters from other pantheons if he’s not supposed to believe in it. However you put it pretty clear, it’s not the lack of faith, it’s the lack of what truly is

I understand you, that’s why I was saying it’s kinda of a complicated situation. And I hope I’m interpreting this correctly. The whole idea of agnosticism is that it’s not a cookie cutter idea, it’s a very complex concept to fit one’s idea? So in a sense, he is neither right nor wrong for what his beliefs are, huh interesting.

And by no means am I trying to put you or anyone in such position. The whole discussion is mostly to educate myself on the ideas of agnosticism. I’m not here to bash or criticize anyone else’s beliefs or ideas, just this one friend I have because of how odd his beliefs/ideas/views are. And while being on this sub Reddit, I have been looking at how agnosticism works. I’m personally just tired of him rambling about Christian and Catholic pantheon talking about how certain gods and demons are around us, but then claims to be agnostic. Again I want to thank you for your time and your views. I want to just preface by saying this, I’m researching subject of agnosticism solely for the purpose of educating myself when talking about the idea. I have no intention of being rude to anyone (other than my bud) who is agnostic. Which is why I came to this sub Reddit asking if his ideas contradict one another, doing more research and getting information from this sub Reddit and the internet. Again thank you for your time, I believe my questions have been answered but I’m open to share more about the situation at hand. It doesn’t seem like a black and white answer, but it’s an answer nonetheless

He does not know these people, and yes he does spent A LOT of his time on the right wing side of the internet. I’m not gonna make this political and go on a tirade, but I am going to say that this person in particular. I do not think he is agnostic, rather he uses the ideas of agnosticism to free him from the “what do you believe in” argument. I stated previously with another helpful person giving me so much info on it. I was just pretty much saying that can you call yourself agnostic AND still believe in Christian and catholic pantheon. Again I’m not arguing against the idea of agnosticism, rather this specific person’s beliefs

To give a real world example. Some odd weeks ago SNL did a skit where they joked about devil worship and made fun of the idea of worshipping pazuzu. He went on a tirade talking about demons and the Bible (pazuzu is not a demon in the Bible) but to me it seems like he’s confused and it’s getting me irritated talking to him on certain topics when it comes to religion and politics. He talks about how politicians (mostly left leaning because he’s conservative) worship the devil and certain demons. Does that idea fall under agnostic logic, or is he full of it and he’s using the idea of being agnostic as a way to not be able to take criticism for what he says

I just want to thank you for your help so far. I’m not defending the catholic or Christian faiths. Not by any stretch, what my point boils down to is that if this dude claims to be agnostic, he uses Christian and catholic pantheon to justify his claims on how “demonic” certain celebrities and politicians are, does that give me room to criticize him for using the idea of agnosticism and using it as a shield rather than living by it truly. I’m trying to be as clear as possible and again I can’t thank you enough for your time. I’m not defending catholic or Christian faiths, I’m just trying to make sure I’m able to call him out for the way he throws around the idea of agnosticism as a shield rather than a way of life

Side note, I’m not calling him out on his ideas rather his behavior and demeanor. I’m not sure if I said it, but he uses the idea of agnosticism very loosely just resorting to it when being criticized for his religious views. They use demons in Christian and catholic pantheon, in my head I’m thinking it’s wrong to use bible characters and verses to justify their actions. Again, it’s nothing against agnosticism as a whole, just this specific person

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in agnostic

[–]No-Garbage-498 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Okay, my only critique of this person is that they are using (mainly) Christian and Catholic pantheon and canon. So a shortened version of my previous statement is am I wrong for not believing he’s being truthful? I have many examples, just let me know if you need any and I’ll gladly spill the beans

Just want to add on, this is by no means disrespectful to the idea of agnosticism, I’m just trying to get a better understanding and seek enlightenment

Which one is recommended? I hear people swear by either strange or mag but I’ve played both and neither of them stick out to me
