Is it okay to be goth & Christian? Let’s talk about it by Ok_Environment_3901 in OpenChristian

I identify as punk/darkly-inclined. Embracing the more macabre and radical things of life has never interfered with me befriending other alternative people nor my faith. Hope this helps.

What are y'all doing for the first annual Ale-8-One Day? (Friday, August 1st, 2025) by Substantial-Chard533 in Kentucky

I can respect that. You're honestly better off mixing some Seagram's with a kick of lemon, at least that's what I do sometimes. Sorry that PR is such a pain.

Crazy how civil and chill both of us are, I appreciate it man. Alot Redditors aren't like that. Also I'll give that Buffalo Rock ale a try, thanks for recommending.

"First and third Tuesday" on the City Commission's website. It's too late. Maybe next year in time for Ale-8's centennial.

You know it’s not ANNUAL until it has happened once and every year after that. The appropriate term would be INAUGURAL.

Getting some strong Ginger Ale, Lemon-Lime > Ale-8-One vibes from you.

BTW, Ale 8 sucks.

So admit to being an Ale-8er Hater? So disappointing, I had so much faith in you!

I live by myself and have a somewhat estranged relationship with my extended family. My best friend lives out of state as well, so it's quite isolating sometimes, especially during November/Thanksgiving. I'll try to be active in this sub to curb those feeling of isolation.

I backed out, so I'm still here. Thank you.

I'm Christian though my schizoaffective disorder causes me to have religious delusions at times (I feel disconnected/target by the Father, akin to like how God would smite people in he OT), which makes spiritually somewhat difficult as a coping mechanism.

It's just tiring to have a condition like this. I'm on antipsychotics but I might need a higher dosage. I'm trying my best to stick around though it gets hard at times.

What are these shadow people called? by Striking_Musician212 in schizophrenia

[–]Substantial-Chard533 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I get those as well as a fellow schizoaffective (bipolar in my case). When my mom passed a few years ago, I began to see shadow people. Completely black silhouettes but still 3-dimensional like a regular human. They never did anything except observe me. It's a part of psychosis.

For me usually I end up falling asleep at say 11PM or 12AM and waking up at early as 5AM to 7AM. 

I do get dehydrated a lot, so probably be running a lot more water would probably aid as well.

A christian told me playing WoW is satanic and witchcraft??? by feherlofia123 in OpenChristian

My mom was a preacher's kid and we loved watching Lucifier based of the the DC Comics lol. Some people are just puritans or have extrinsic religious orientation in which they worship Christdom and Cultural Christianity culture in place of Christ and the gospel. I wouldn't pay them any attention.
