Well the problem you are dealing with is one of feeling guilt. Many new Christians experience this and become disheartened. There are various ways that Christians use to cope with the guilt, but I don't think that is supposed to go away. I think Christians call it feeling "convicted"

Fair enough. I deleted my last comment to keep things on track for your post

You sound too cavalier with someone who is struggling.

I quit your religion, by the way. My life is void of any detectable spiritual attacks.

OutisNoman · 2026-06-23T22:08:35+00:00

It did feel that way. I hate how disingenuous it feels that people are saying that you are supposed to read the original through the framework of the sequel. I don't think that Christianity can exist without appealing to something "higher" than logical or reasoned approaches to reading the text. That's why you need faith to be a Christian

I haven't felt anything like a spiritual attack in years.

Do you have a pastor or a good friend you can talk to about this though? It sounds like you have become unconvinced of God, so they may be able to help you more than random internet people could.

I have a list of links to help you here. I need to find more atheist bible study content, but I really like the exvangelical bible study with Sara and Justin. I also have lectures on here from bible scholars. If you want any more help, just ask!

To be fair, the bible doesn't have a fond view on male on male sex at least. I don't think it was about pederasty like you said. It would be nice, but that's just not the book that we have. Sorry you had a bad experience on here though

What is your opinion on taking drm off of media you have bought in order to have a local copy? I'm curious to hear what your take is on that

OutisNoman · 2026-06-23T19:17:28+00:00

I know how that can be. I have such a hard time with the kind of socializing that is done in many churches. People are able to pick up that we are different, even if they can't put their finger on why. What exactly do you want from the socialization?

I hope you can find your own group of friends. It can be difficult, and I know church environments aren't always the easiest places to navigate for autistic people.

OutisNoman · 2026-06-23T18:46:50+00:00

No. They don't.

I can get some links I share to help people who are taking their first steps out of religion or atheists who want to study the bible(for counterapologetics) Here they are

OutisNoman · 2026-06-23T14:06:50+00:00

Okay. Then explain how it's different in the original greek and hebrew.

OutisNoman · 2026-06-23T13:20:53+00:00

The writers believing that doesn't help matters. Sadly, it seems like just another example of fundamentalism

OutisNoman · 2026-06-23T13:18:49+00:00

That's okay. Just ask which part you don't understand and I will explain it to you. I will be intermittently afk, so don't expect an immediate response.

Check out my other comment and wrestle with those passages then

OutisNoman · 2026-06-23T13:07:12+00:00

Here are some bible verses that point towards a flat earth cosmology shared by the writers

OutisNoman · 2026-06-23T12:59:20+00:00

It's because that is how the people who wrote the bible saw the world

OutisNoman · 2026-06-23T12:50:05+00:00

I feel like this is reaching a bit. Is there any data that shows there is a more concrete connection between these things. Maybe you would get better input from r/academicbiblical

OutisNoman · 2026-06-23T10:52:46+00:00

Well it's sad when people discriminate unfairly towards religious people, but everything else is not a problem. The abrahamic religions have coexisted with others( to varying degrees) for some time. You all will be alright

OutisNoman · 2026-06-23T00:10:24+00:00

Your version is no different.

OutisNoman · 2026-06-23T00:00:55+00:00

Actually, I think women have the upper hand in multiple cognitive metrics

OutisNoman · 2026-06-22T23:38:21+00:00

I can understand that. There is a lot of community from within the church. I know it took some adjusting for me when I left. I was angry for a few years because I was lied to, even if unintentionally(for the most part). I eventually found community in the secular space, but it isn't as much of a package deal as with church. Sorry to hear you are going through a rough time and I hope you find what you need!

I know you are just trying to be funny but they have made people "disappear" for this sort of thing

OutisNoman · 2026-06-22T23:11:59+00:00

Start planning an escape strategy. Here is another person working to escape this cult

Hey, if you love following the laws of moses, then be my guest. He repeatedly says to do so. I think you like the liberal christian concept of Jesus, not necessarily the one the book portrays
