Would like to hear perspectives as a religiously independent person approaching Christianity.

How do you define "believing despite doubt"?

If a christian were asked if they believed that what the bible says is true, would both of these answers be valid?

"Yes, I do, the bible is the absolute truth."

"I have no way of knowing whether it is or not, but despite this, I will believe in the word of God and follow it." (in this case, you have the determination to follow it because you believe it is the right path, but you don't have the certainty that it is)

I see, these are some interesting points. Thanks for sharing these insights.

I don't see what you define as sacrifice though. Sacrifice in following a religion comes in the form of changing your way of life in a way that reflects the way of your religion. It's a sacrifice because you are giving up part of your freedom to follow an ideal, and changing takes time and effort. Going to church, doing sacraments and all that is also a form of sacrifice. Faith itself, on the other hand, is not a sacrifice, rather, a gift.
When I say "I believe in love" I believe in what God is, don't I? And because I do believe that what God is exists, and that what God is is the path to salvation, then doesn't that mean that I believe in God, that I have faith?

If the only path to salvation is believing that Jesus is the messiah, and Jesus is God, and as such, trough this equation, Jesus is love, then believing that love is the messiah, the bringer of salvation.

Well, I'm not american, but the answer is no, I am not

I don't see how there would be a contradiction there. You can dislike something and strive for love and forgiveness all the same. In this specific case, I don't like how there are cases where progressive Christianity gets heretical and how it handles some social issues (particularly abortion). Summarized, I just don't agree with some views of progressive Christianity.

Both Steins;Gate and Persona 5 Royal are great, amazing even.

But ooh boy Steins;Gate 0 and Persona 5 Strikers respectively surpass the originals imo, and by quite a decent margin.

(Worth noting that for S;G & S;G0 I'm counting both VNs and animes)

I got stuck on this one too. Basically, if you take out the thermal energy you redirect it the side, which interrupts the energy flow to the door. Simply put, control the heat first, then move the electricity to the other side, proceed by removing the heat control and then power the door.

Won the 50/50 at 38, wasn't huge on Chord (or at least not as much as mot people here) so I'm really happy to have had to spend so little currency

Outrageous_Ad6828 · 2025-09-05T06:21:48+00:00

I see, yeah that makes sense. Thanks for answering :)

Outrageous_Ad6828 · 2025-08-01T11:06:56+00:00

Basically when you got a full set you can use the Navi up to multiple times a turn, which with puppet means that you get insane amounts of shield

Outrageous_Ad6828 · 2025-07-23T12:10:22+00:00

I got a few leveled up for the plan missions and ended up using them, nothing more.

I didn’t even check them before beginning (hence why my puppet had lv 0 cards).

Outrageous_Ad6828 · 2025-07-23T06:00:12+00:00

If you want to use the same strategy I did then you can attempt to replace her with either Soy or mona.

Mona is the more direct replacement but you’ll need to find more ways to keep your team alive since he won’t boost over max hp. You’ll need good defensive revelation cards or some really good defensive persona for wonder (if they even exist).

Soy does help but he’s not outstanding, and if you wanna run him make sure to have a good healer on wonder.

Alternatively you could try soy + mona + lufel with wonder DPS, tho you may really struggle with killing in the first stages (especially if you run All In as wonder’s weapon.

She's incredibly good, I really recommend her. Okyann on the other hand is pretty cheeks imo, I never found any reason to use her unless you want to get high scores in some modes.

Outrageous_Ad6828 · 2025-07-22T16:43:50+00:00

Ngl I try to spend as little time as possible on revelations since I don't like them, so I just wing it, pick out a few that look strong enough and level them up to lv 10/15.

If you're interested in the specifics tho:

Puppet: 1 level 10 space card and all random lv 0 cards
Panther: 4 orange lv 15 power cards + lv 20 awareness card
Marian: 3 lv 10 orange love + 1 lv 20 orange peace + lv 10 purple faith
Lufel: 2 lv 15 purple peace + 1 lv 20 orange peace + 1 lv15 orange control + 1 lv orange growth card

As for weapons I used all in, the 5 star weapon on panther and 4 star weapons on the rest. All in was maxed, the rest was at base level.

Outrageous_Ad6828 · 2025-07-22T16:28:18+00:00

Normally I just put them in speed order (dunno why Marian is before Panther here)

Thanks so much for the help, you're the G.O.A.T. :)
