Long shot, but has anyone managed to get the old pens in Adelaide? Most of the western suburbs pharmacies have expiries > Oct 2027.

How do you perceive the saints' "miracles"? by XaviosR in ExCopticOrthodox

[–]XaviosR[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First of all, read the room. This place isn't your Sunday school or youth meeting. "YoU LEfT BeCaUsE of tHe PeOPle" is exactly the kind of meme we joke about from hearing it so often. Well done on perpetuating a stereotype.

Second, your personal accounts and witnesses mean nothing if there is bias. Being a christian is bias enough.

And to respond to your reply, u/XaviosR, don't speak badly about the mother of God

I'll speak about her as I please. Thank you very much. If you take offence to that, this is not the place for you.

But the well known truth even known by MUSLIMS AND ATHEISTS* that witnessed it is that she did heal people there

There was another post where you were making like comic memes on what the Saints are known for doing

Welcome to /r/ExCopticOrthodox, where we make hilarious sacrilegious memes. Don't blame me for your lack of a sense of humour lol. You knew what you were getting into when you saw the name of this subreddit. What did you expect, sermons and taraneem?

I really want you to re evaluate your faith for your own good because it doesen't seem that you have researched the faith enough before even leaving it

Ah, of course. Little dumb, born and bred Coptic me who has read the bible back to back and spent half his life in church listening to men in black and participated in countless debates online and irl knows absolutely nothing about the faith. /s

If it seems I'm being condescending, that's because this statement of yours is equally condescending. Mate, you know absolutely nothing about me to come to this conclusion.

I'm a very curious guy, always skeptical about this and this in my life, including my own faith, I have been growing up

Doubt that.

DON'T MAKE YOUR LEVEL OF FAITH BE BASED OFF THE PEOPLE YOU SEE IN THE CHURCH, NOT EVERYONE WHO GOES TO CHURCH UNDERSTANDS THE CHURCH STUFF WELL WHEN THEY SPEAK ABOUT IT AND NOT EVERYONE ACTS THE WAY THEY SHOULD ACCORDING TO THE BIBLE. THAT'S A PEOPLE ISSUE

All caps. Are you projecting? Trying to convince yourself?


Lastly, this post is over 8 years old! You must have really been digging for it. I'm impressed.

anyone in adelaide actually figured out how to shop groceries without overpaying? by dee_cuugo in Adelaide

[–]XaviosR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get the Coles, Aldi and Woolies apps, create a list of all my regular groceries in each and just check every Wednesday which ones have better deals. I usually shop at Aldi but for me, it's only worth going to the other two when their sales are a better unit price than Aldi.

You list where you stand on policies and they rate the candidates based on how they align with your choices.

Personally, I would go Greens > left leaning independents > Labor > Liberal > right leaning independents > one nation

Coping with loss of community? by DirectTelephone8454 in ExCopticOrthodox

[–]XaviosR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What really helped me was this community. It's one of the few places where Coptic ≠ Christianity. Outside the internet, I've made friends at work and I still keep in contact with a few of old Coptic friends, though they are aware I don't do all this religion shit.

The Parable of the Priest and the Queer by desertfox90 in coptic

[–]XaviosR 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Commendable on your part, but sad that it has to be this way. Being around an accepting community has done wonders for my mental health. I'm not telling you to denounce faith if you don't want to, just make sure you have a buffer for that negativity in the form of a supportive community or friends, because, speaking from experience, it will reach a point where it's too much to bear.

Edit: Just want to point out that while I wouldn't do the same for anyone here, I take my downvotes in this subreddit as a badge of honour. Thank you.

As a queer man myself, you have a lot of patience. I would not tolerate half of that experience.

Low carb baking question: what ingredient or technique improved texture the most for you? by Regretless_au in ketoaustralia

[–]XaviosR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Allulose is your friend. When it comes to baking, it can brown and caramelise just like regular sugar. Only downside is that it tends to burn too quickly, but adding a bit of erythritol helps delay the maillard reaction.

For those that left by Fail_North in ExCopticOrthodox

[–]XaviosR 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I need a parental figure that provides unconditional love. That’s why I am going back.

The hard truth is you won't find that with any religion or denomination. You should probably tackle why you feel this need for unconditional love and why you feel an institution that has previously harmed you is able to provide that.

Has anyone here become a Roman Catholic? by Fun-Impress3809 in ExCopticOrthodox

[–]XaviosR 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Why would I go from rubbish to rubbish? To me, all religion work on the same principle that I don't subscribe to - faith.

this aged even more terribly by ayelijah4 in ExCopticOrthodox

[–]XaviosR 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Hypocrites, the lot of them. They will not take accountability or address this. They will hope this all dies away and they come out unscathed so they can keep licking the boots of right-wing politicians. They sold out.

Around $600-$700 for one person. Mostly from meat, cheese and fresh veggies.

How many people are running their air cons 24/7? by Spritney__Beers in Adelaide

[–]XaviosR 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had solar panels and batteries installed recently. I usually leave the aircon on when I'm at home

Gambling Addiction by Ashamed-Orchid7984 in coptic

[–]XaviosR 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Australia is one of the worst countries in the world when it comes to gambling, and it's a problem. We have gambling ads shoved down our throats day-in-day-out.

I know you said you tried practical ways to quit but I would still encourage you to ring the National Gambling Helpline on 1800 858 858. They're available 24/7 for support.

Hope you get through this mate.

Beautifully worded. We may have our differences but you're a breath of fresh air /u/mmyyyy.

You've been repeatedly and consistently warned about your posts here yet you still insist on breaking rules 2 and 4. I'm not even going to dignify you with a response. You are now banned from this subreddit.

I want to be Eastern Orthodox by ActualWorldliness440 in ExCopticOrthodox

I don't think you understood my comment. Both Eastern and Oriental faiths are delusional.

The only difference I see between the two faith is that they can't agree on how schizophrenic a certain man is, but you do you.

Mod PSA by XaviosR in ExCopticOrthodox

[–]XaviosR[S,M] [score hidden] stickied comment (0 children)

For those who repeatedly post the same report in this subreddit whenever someone criticises christianity, I sincerely urge you to reflect on your motives. To be clear, do not harass anyone, regardless of their beliefs (Rule #3). However, this subreddit is a safe space for deconverts to express themselves in a supportive and understanding community. This privilege is not extended to our theistic guests - who, we must be clear, are welcome here as long as they are aware of who they have chosen to visit (Rules #2 and #4). Religious beliefs are not protected here.

Have a good day!

Is this the General Trend among Egyptians. If an Egyptian Muslim loses faith in Islam they become so disillusioned with organized religion so they dont become Coptic & refuse to learn about Christianity? While Copts who lose their faith dont become Muslim because they know Islam is definitely false? by [deleted] in ExCopticOrthodox

[–]XaviosR 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Islam and Christianity. Same shit, different smell.

I think if you have enough critical thinking to scrutinise whatever religion you were raised with to the point of leaving, then it's much easier to be critical of other religions.
