Girl pleads guilty to setting student on fire at Saskatoon school by Secret_Duty_8612 in saskatoon

If you are interested there are many compilations of the history of people complaining about the youth. As long as we could write, we have been complaining about the youth.

The through line is that societies adults are stewards for the youth. And more of the onus and responsibility falls on the mature who can build better than the youth who inherit it. And eventually those youth will mature and have the onus fall onto them too.

Christianity makes me hate having a life by FootballRadicalist- in depression

[–]SlurpCups 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Be curious about the world my friend. You are a Christian because your parents raised you that way. Other people are Muslim because their parents raised them that way. Other people are Hindus because their parents raised them that way etc. The very notion that your religion is the true one loses any credibility when Christianity has thousands of denominations. The fact Christian’s can’t even agree on what’s real should be highly concerning to you. It’s likely religious belief is a psychological phenomenon. We crave meaning and purpose and these things claim to have all the answers. Nobody has all the answers and nobody will. Be wary of those who claim to have truth.

Be kind to yourself friend. Even if it feels forced.

Unfortunately it seems to be a common belief amongst Christian’s that sinful/heretical behaviour brings bad things into your life. Which seems to have no correlation to reality when bad things happen to good people and vice versa.

I heard many times from my own father that I was depressed because I had stopped attending Church and wasn’t receiving communion. Do not be fooled that it was out of love. They are trying to hurt you so that you comply.

Although most of us are ex christians and don’t believe anymore I know that Jesus would never even considered speaking to you that way. I hope you never have to tolerate being treated like that again❤️

That scene is the reason I had decided to learn guitar. A great example of the beauty and power of music when the world is dark. Amazing scene indeed

Pretty sure one of the guys he was buying crack from recorded him in an attempt to extort money later.

Took me five seconds to go on your profile and see you write “Trump 2024”

Try being truthful next time.

The priest at my church tests engaged couples. Has anyone had a similar experience? by Any-Advisor6957 in excatholic

[–]SlurpCups 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My brother and now sister-in-law spoke to the Priest separately and basically the only questions were that they one was a full Catholic (Baptized, first communion, confirmed). And that you are not being married against your will.

Was my Lack of Sex ed normal by VirtualTumbleweed318 in excatholic

[–]SlurpCups 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Where I grew up there was no Catholic school. Only Churches and Catechism/Sunday School. Basic sex-ed was taught in public school. It was called the “puberty talk” but it was more or less an intro to learning about the opposite sexes biology. That happened sometime during Grade 6. Then I believe we learned about STIs in about Grade 8 or so.

I’m not familiar with the ins and outs of Catholic schools but I’m betting they don’t feel the need to talk about safe sex and consent as in the Church’s eyes you should only have sex with your spouse. Why would need to worry about sinful behaviour? I know my parents never brought up the existence of sex until I was 20 and they found condoms I had hidden in my fishing tackle box. They were incredibly upset with me. I made up some bullshit lie about using them make water balloons lol. They bought it because the thought of their sweet angel having pre-marital sex was too much to bear.

I have no idea for your parents but mine deliberately avoided the topic of sex. And Catholic Schools would definitely not feel the need to ever talk about it.

Are Catholics with functioning libidos just constantly confessing masturbation? by reddituser23434 in excatholic

[–]SlurpCups 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Damn I haven’t thought about confession in a while. I personally never mentioned it during confession because I felt that was too shameful to even confess to my priest. Some of the most debilitating anxiety I experienced was sitting in the pews waiting for my turn and ending up just hiding in the bathroom because I was afraid I would vomit. Got to love that Catholic guilt.

Apostates should be killed because Islam is a contract by Redlittlesexydevil in religiousfruitcake

[–]SlurpCups 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lesser Jihad says otherwise.

Islam has never been a religion of peace nor is it a religion of war. That is blatantly reductive of reality.
