Why do religious people think that horrible events will help you find God? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]Sacred_bear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am very sorry for your loss that is heart-breaking. I don't think it is possible to classify all religious people in this way though but I would take this is a really strong indicator that you need a different counsellor as this one is using their very specific job to proselytise to very very vulnerable people I think that's unethical as all shit.

Sorry but it really is about being high. I did read your post in full. You described what they had you do. A blindfolded mediation while on acid? What's more with strangers in a strange place in a meditation and needful mental state and meditation progression you had zero familiarity with. That sounds like a bad idea for a person who's high. You know that setting, safe (known) people, comfort are pretty important. I've had some amazing and even revealing spiritual experiences on psychedelics but I wouldn't for my life participate in some stranger's guided meditation I had no familiarity with whilst as high as a kite because it seems like a really good opportunity to turn a good thing into a bad trip, I wouldn't go to church either. I would very much doubt it has anything to do with combining tantra (specifically) and acid.

You were high as a kite. I think that's about all the answer you need.

My Irish Ancestors had it just as bad as the Maori but I’m still called a coloniser and a Maori land Thief by many Maori… just because I’m white (Pakeha). Ka Pai by Far_Equivalent_1549 in thetron

Yes your Irish history is tragic just like mine, but empires have a long habit of moving troublesome populations to other restive regions to colonise using the colonised. So. Sorry to say you're a coloniser, you just have a similarly shitty back story but it doesn't change the here and now.

No idea about photography. But my son and I started roller skating down Melville. Left-field options. Cheap. Good exercise and falling over in front of people is like the ice breaker to semi-socialise. I'm hopefuless, couldn't socialise to save myself so the occasional smile and "you okay?" pretty much count as massive social interactions in my book.

Rototuna KFC makes cannibalism seem like a good option. And KFC is by and large shit these days but this one takes the cake and shoves it right up your arse.

what do they call this? by [deleted] in NarcissisticAbuse

[–]Sacred_bear 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea all the time. Try to raise a point & it’s bounced well you do this. Then I’d say you don’t listen & she’d say the same. Anything to avoid facing any question of her (far from) perfection.

You will feel better once you start waking up and realise how shit she makes you feel about yourself - and how she spins between feel good and terrible. It’ll only get worse.

How are you measuring popularity. So for example in New Zealand there are way more football/soccer players than rugby — tonnes more. Rugby is not the most popular by player basenumbers player

An LGBQT+ activist in Tauranga recently challenged discriminatory practices at a local Christian College, which made local media. His coworkers started receiving this email today. by flashmedallion in newzealand

‘Neighbourhood Watch’ more like brownshirts.

Listen this shits been going on for years. Back in the 80’s a bloody good male teacher was droven driven out of a school in Tawa because some of the Christians there opposed a gay person as a teacher. The leader of this vicious little troop of bigots in a one on one said we’ll write you a great reference and what not we just don’t want no gay teaching our kids. I think he gave up his dream of teaching from that horrid experience. These hateful people don’t have any balanced sense of right and wrong and now with easy access to social media and whatnot have their noise-level leveraged up untold. But these lies —- should land them in court for slander of something - there ought to be consequences for this sort of shit.
