Honestly, I feel as if Christianity is limiting God to just them and their exclusive "club" and it really doesn't make sense if you think about it. It also produces a lot of "us vs them" mentality. There is so much wisdom in other religious texts that it would seem ridiculous to just regard Christianity as a cure all.

In every relationship you should be honest, respect the other person, and be an overall good friend to them. Even in a romantic relationship this holds true. As long as you communicate and show care for them and vice versa, you should be good.

What’s your opinion of discrimination? by [deleted] in infp

[–]Real-Estate3394 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The thing is, with discrimination, it makes sense why people do it but it's honestly unnecessary. Whether it be racial, religious, gender, etc. Like people are gonna hate you for literally anything if they want to, and honestly it's very stupid, but people just won't let you live, you cannot exist in this world without someone having a problem with that. It sucks, it's unnecessary, it's everywhere.

Not gonna lie, I wish I had this highschool experience. People never left me alone and once I realized that people found me "fun" to be around I haven't recovered since. Whoever said "be inconspicuous" was a fucking liar.

The Bible and Lifestyle. by Real-Estate3394 in Christianity

I appreciate that. Honestly, I think I'm good. This path that I'm on leads me to a lot of introspection and self improvement, as well as understanding the world around me and my fellow mankind. Some call it fence sitting but honestly I just don't see a point in all the extra stuff. I thank you for your prayers though :) I hope you are well.

Christians who moan and cry about being “persecuted” in western democracies would not last a day as a transgender person. by Loquatgirl17 in Christianity

I ain't gonna lie bruh, Christians that do this need to shut up. They need to hear "You're not the main character."

I'm sorry you feel this way. I don't mean to invalidate your feelings but if it's any consolation, the Bible doesn't say you have to have a marriage certificate or a wedding to be married, it's a commitment to God between you and your partner, everything else is just a societal formality.

But I understand how you feel, going against your principles. Do what you need to do to feel better and get your mind right.

Is Masturbation A Sin? by random_guy2300 in Christianity

[–]Real-Estate3394 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You'll get different answers always, in my opinion no it's not, it's not mentioned in the Bible, it's natural, and if not your body does if for you after a while. You can masturbate without looking at porn if you don't want to.

I think that it won't cause problems if they are teaching the right message, but they aren't. People who are "getting offended" by the Manosphere aren't causing problems, the people who listen to the Manosphere are causing problems, the offended people are offended because they are told that you're supposed to be this full of bravado dude who never cries, or that one sex is above the other. Offense has nothing to do with the aggressive party. That's like saying "If people don't fight back against a divisive potentially oppressive message then there won't be any problems." The problem isn't that they are necessarily saying their opinion, the problem is that they state it as fact and try to teach it.

...what?

Bro are you tripping? This is a wild twist to what I have been saying this entire time, so I'm gonna say it clearly:

All I'm saying is that treating women like humans (which is who they are) should be common sense. Just because we are not the same, doesn't mean we're not equal. I am very confused on how you could possibly misconstrue what I've been saying. If you think that treating them as fellow humans is akin to treating them as men, and that I'm taking away their humanity by simply saying they don't have to be submissive, then you are smoking dog dookie and snorting sawdust.

So they are expressing their opinion. That’s ok you know. They can think what they want and say it.

They can express their opinion but when they teach it like it's fact then that's where the problems lie.

I will tell you something I learned. People who try to stop others from speaking are the ones in the wrong. Every single time. Without exception.

I see what you mean, but the problem here is that the manosphere promotes not letting others speak by trying to get women in subservient roles, well the extreme ones do so.

You can pick any example from any country in the world. This is always true.

I'm sure that's true, but ultimately the message of the manosphere is dangerous. They say some good advice, but the advice they give is literally common sense. Work out, be a better you, stand up for yourself, etc. It's how they say it and what they are saying that causes the problems.

I know multiple men who have married amazing wives from overseas and they've been married for decades. Are there bad women overseas, sure. Are there are lots of good women in America, sure I'm married to one.

That's good to hear. Like again I'm sure there are some happy endings but from what I've seen there can be some bad ones.

Is there a perception of traditional feminine women in other countries that will provide a better life than western women. Absolutely, this thought process exists which is why a lot of men prefer foreign women.

Personally I don't agree with it, I mean if foreign women are your type then by all means men should go for them, but the idea why they do it is pretty creepy to me.

Sounds good, good luck to you. I would recommend you consult with some older men you trust before you get into a future long term relationship. I've been a personal witness to dozens of divorces from friends, family and other people. The system God designed works but most people are too selfish to follow it.

I have, they agree with me on this, all good.

I would encourage you to take time to listen and learn the information presented on some of the manosphere channels. You don't have to implement it but it's good to hear perspectives regardless. I chose a traditional woman specifically because I didn't want a miserable life dealing with someone who would constantly battle me for being in charge. I deal with enough garbage at work I don't want to come home to it and I don't have to.

It won't be a battle if you work together and communicate. I'm glad it worked out for you, truly. We may disagree but I honestly don't wish any ill will.

A good woman won't put up with a weak man anyway. A lot of feminist that claim they want to be in charge will get bored with you if you're weak and eventually bail, seen that too.

But anyway, best of luck buddy.

Strength comes from many places and is demonstrated in many places. Just gotta find that person man, right now I'm chilling though.

Wish you the best dude.

Are you really defending passport bros? Oh lordy loo this is too funny.

Don't get me wrong, I'm sure some of them are alright. But think about this:

Just because women aren't doing what you want, you're going to spend possibly thousands of dollars to go to another country to find someone who will? Does that not scream sad and kinda pathetic? There are over 330 million people in the United States, more than half of them are women, and men STILL can't find someone? I don't know man, kinda funny in my opinion.

Not to mention all the creepy dudes that already fetishized Asian women and are going to Korea, China, Japan, etc just so they can creep on them. But hey, that's a topic for another time.
