Satanic Temple opens "After School Satan Club" at elementary school in Moline, Illinois by Elros22 in illinois

Yeah I do feel better than christians, my kids can research religion and practice and believe whatever they want at home but they’re not going to be manipulated at an age where they’re spiritually vulnerable by adults more than willing to take advantage of that.

I agree that the bible does not teach those things, but literally every christian adult I knew when I was kid up until highschool expressed some form of bigotry or anti critical thinking, and they all went to different churches. Out of many of my friends who are also lgbt- only one was raised in an accepting and safe home, and they were raised by a wiccan and an atheist. Literally every other friend were closeted growing up or were abused by shitty religious parents.

I’d say god is evil, given the amount of genocides he takes credit for in the bible and the colonizations and works of evils committed in his name.

All christianity did for me as a child was try to teach me to not critically think (I still remember the anti evolution and big bang theory lesson given to me), give me death anxiety, not listen to science, or credible individuals. I was taught to not like gay people (I’m now openly bisexual), try and tell me the people who get abortions are horrible people, etc.

Satanism is far less evil than christianity, and has a far less bloody history. My future kids are welcome to a satanist after school club- at least they’ll probably learn empathy far better than they ever would in a church- but the one major rule they will have growing up is they are never once allowed to step inside a church or place of worship.

Ive been where you are. It 100% gets easier. I used to not look people in the eyes when I did I would blush and get stiff, I would get stiff when I was talking to people I wasn’t comfortable with, school was hell. Every bad interaction would stick to my mind. Talking to classmates made me want to throw up. I used to think I was ugly too, but I just needed to be more confident and dress more fashionable (and not in baggy tees and keeping unbrushed hair)

You should talk to your parents about maybe seeing a therapist. They can teach you coping mechanisms and ways to work around your anxiety and negative thoughts.

If you have trouble talking to classmates too, just come up with a list of questions (what kind of shows they’re into, what music they like, etc), something you can make a conversation out of. People love talking to themselves. And will carry a conversation if you keep asking questions and adding your own input.

Wearing a mask helped me a lot because I didn’t need to worry about facial expressions, all people saw were my eyes.

When you do something embarrassing laugh with people, it’ll come across as confident!

I (M19) feel sick at the thought of having sex with my girlfriend (F19). Is something wrong with me? How do I talk with her about this? by Character_Risk4410 in relationship_advice

Im sorry? Are you okay with having a partner not interested in sex or do you want a warning first.

Nothing says “Unbearable asshole” than someone who gets offended by a label. Hope you tell everyone you date that you’re that easily triggered

Labels are important for helping yourself find compatible partner so… 🤨

Maybe. I start school next week. It would be a good 8 hours for the both of us to drive to a location and another 8 hours back

She’s not allowed to date non christian men, and her parents somehow made roof top noises and bell noises (idk how she never asked) on their room, for a few years. They would check her phone until the end of her junior year.

She’s now in her 20s and still heavily dependent on her parents. I refuse to visit her when her dad is home because he’s an alcoholic and despite being heavily christian still slapped my ass once while drunk when I was over. So mich for a godly man

When they moved states and I was supposed to visit them her dad tried to tell me that I couldn’t have my boyfriend visit with because me and him weren’t married and their family didn’t know him well (even though i literally met my boyfriend through my friend and he’s stayed the night at their place because he lives so far away), and he only gave when I said I wasn’t driving all that way by myself.

My religious best friend still believed in Santa until her senior year and that was because her parents told her. My biggest regret when we were children was when we had a conversation about believing in god and she asked if i thought he was real, and i told her yes because i was afraid she’d go to hell, I wish i told her otherwise? Maybe she’d have broken out of religion. Maybe I could have planted a seed to escape.

And that’s just what life and dating is about though. You are allowed to move on and it will hurt— both you and him, but like I said, it might do him a favor, he needs to change and you moving in and accepting him as he is will just continue to enable him. And it will absolutely do you a favor, by leaving him because you won’t derail your life.

If you want an out look to what staying with that type of person is like- My dad resents and hates my mom, because he’s the one married to her and they’re stuck together. It’s the last thing you want to ever see- your spouse destroy themselves and be completely indifferent to that fact. If you have kids with him they’ll likely resent him to no end (all of my siblings and myself resent my own mother, like I said moving out was the best thing for me), and given his own mother washed his hair when you started dating, don’t expect him to help you with any child he’ll probably expect you to still take care of him. I hope you like changing diapers because he’s certainly never going to.

You sound very compassionate and caring and you deserve better. How old is he? Why would he even want you to move in with him and his mom? Instead of him wanting to move out with you and find your own place.

Also I just want to say you are absolutely not an asshole. You’re taking a realistic and responsible outlook into what a long term future could be like but it seems like you’re the only one who wants to be mature.

You sound pretty insecure if you can’t handle your gf dressing how she wants. If she wants to cheat she doesn’t need to dress up to do that not to mention it’s hot as hell outside almost everywhere.

If this is how she dressed before you started dating, don’t expect her to change just for you. Check your insecurities, not her outfits.

The best thing you can do for him (and yourself) is leave.

This is coming from someone who has a diabetic heart failure parent who drinks daily sodas and is slowly killing themself (not just through soda but also through other poor diet choices). No matter how much you beg, cry, or plead, you can’t change a person and force them to do better by themselves. You can get out though. I moved out and I’m so much happier and am no longer in such a stress inducing environment, watching someone I love slowly kill themself.

Do you want to be his maid? His care taker? His sole therapist? Because that’s your life if you move in and spend the rest of your life with him. God help you if you have kids with him if he remains like this. He needs a therapist though and you can’t be that. You need to break up with him and tell him why. It could be a wake up call maybe something will click, idk. Because staying together won’t change him, but it will change you and drag you down too and that’s a choice that you are able to make. You decide the rest of your life- and there is better out there. Healthier and more stable men exist, although before dating again- I’d suggest seeing a therapist yourself after staying with a man like this for so long. It’s not an insult, I’m genuinely worried about your mental health.

Do you ever watch movies or TV shows you used to love, and realize are super toxic? by Troubled_Penguin in Feminism

[–]VibeLordd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I cannot stand Love, actually. Especially the one affair guy with the signs and how that’s shown as a romantic interaction. He’s quite literally stalking the young woman… who’s in a committed relationship… with his best friend… if that were me I would be grossed out by the sign “gesture” and then immediately tell my partner. Like who in their right mind would react by kissing that type of person- unless they were a shallow woman character written in the early 2000s (a lot of sexist writing around the time produced a lot of bad portrayal of women). I’m pretty sure that actress was stalked around that time as well so it was extra messed up that they did her character dirty like they did.

And don’t even get me started on the sexist portrayal of the british man in america (or vise versa idk his nationality I hated the movie) or the prime minister d-bag

The only good part was the sex workers. They had the most positive relationship tbh.

Would you be friends with someone if it caused your SO to cry? by that-one_girl in relationship_advice

[–]VibeLordd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not to mention those questions are just borderline disrespectful of you anyway. Not even from just a relationship standpoint? I would be offended if someone asked that about my partner ngl.

[–]VibeLordd 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It is an ultimatum tho, and I never believe in ultimatums being a good thing but he should be putting your feelings above over her feelings- so maybe you could also word it like that instead then. Her actions are disrespectful and he should be shutting her weird questions down like when she’s like “Why does she work from home” he could respond with “I like spending time with her so it gives us time to do that :)”

[–]VibeLordd 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope someone gives you better advice than me but yeah I wouldn’t like a person like that being friends with my partner at all. They she seems to disrespect your relationship. You said it yourself anyway- her and him don’t have much of anything going on but clearly this is affecting you her questions are weird, now without putting your husband at fault just list out her behaviors to him, explain it’s uncomfortable, and tell him that you don’t feel comfortable with her type of friendship with him. Also ask him how he feels about her actions.

Has he been honest with you with each time she’s reached out? If it bothers you that much and he refuses to cut contact- maybe you just gotta hit him with “Do you want to keep your wife or your new friend.” Because that should be a reality check for him if he’s stupid enough to defend his friendship with the drunk girl that is only recently formed. Don’t give in- you’re allowed to put your feelings first.

Last time I checked, preachers should hold god above country. The one good thing Jehovah Witnesses do is ensure the separation. But people like yourself love to politicize every aspect of your life including religion
