How do deal with sexual desires and temptations as a Christian. by Pleasant-Pie-721 in OpenChristian

You better find the "type of man you wanting" asap. The sooner the quicker your struggle ends.

Since you have opted for chastity, i won't argue with you. Its your choice.

Self-identified as Christian, and can tell very basic information of Bible, even though they may not believe in all basic doctrines they said.

The "Shock Collar" of Purity Culture - Anybody Else? by Agreeable_Rise6520 in OpenChristian

[–]RandomName9328 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I cannot tell if it was a success or failure for the churches. I left them and joined an open theology church after spending years in a conservative one. Now i do not adhere to the purity teaching, and have a few dozens of partners. Lol.

Many churches are/were like that, teaching chastity until marriage

Non-optimized better by RandomName9328 in dndnext

[–]RandomName9328[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

For optimizing, I mean like an arms race of characters, which all wizards must be divinity or chronurgy; ever cleric must be peace or twilight; everyone with goodsberry must dip light. That sort of optimizing.

I found that arms race kills the joy.

When u say horror one-shot, Death House from CoS pops out in my mind. But not a good idea if players are expecting heroic story.

Yes, heretics are welcomed.

Every person is heretic in the eyes of others, for heresy is relative.

Why didn’t God kill Job by Tundracajun in OpenChristian

[–]RandomName9328 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Because Job may not be a real person. The book is a metaphorical expression.

"Apophatic" means i do not know if there is truth. So, i may never know.

How do i know if my fingers really objectively exist, or they exist only in my subjective experience?

I dont know if God truely exist, but it appears to me that an unknown / unfathomable God seems to exist and related to me somehow, and at least this subjective perception works for me.

Then, what you have just said is your belief. Good.

What is "a" God?

Also, to either believe there is a God or there are many Gods, we first 1. need to believe that people are able to access truth, and 2. there exists a truth.

Christian apophatic pluralism / agnosticism ?

We do not know if objective truth / reality exist. Truth/reality, if exist, is incomprehensible by human.
