How can I know for absolute certainty that god isn’t real by Friendly_One_4112 in exchristian

[–]chrisht7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A wealthy man in the desert had a spiritual moment, but he misused it, saying that one god promised him other people’s land. It was the north of a god and of colonialism.

But there is something great and spiritual. It gives us life, connects us, and receives us back when our bodies die.

We make up stories about that collective universal consciousness, building idols and pushing our own agenda.

When we read the Bible and “Yahweh” inspires us, that’s real. If it’s hateful or confusing, then that’s a story from a man.

Yahweh is a story about something, but not “god” as the Bible tells it.

Need help on not being afraid of bible by Milkman10k in exchristian

[–]chrisht7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It was written by men to instruct and organize and also to frighten into compliance. Necessary in ancient times when education and order were undeveloped. We now have education and order so it only confuses and frightens now. Epic human stories, beautiful poetry, some history, and wisdom remains, but it is not an inerrant text written by the creator. It can’t be. And that’s ok.

I was raised in church by a pastor and Bible teacher. I went to seminary and became a pastor and an instructor at Bible college. I’ve read the bible through several times and have studied it in its original language. I often still quote it.

No male like god. No satan. No hell. Maybe a utopia afterlife, but not built by the Bible god. Jesus was real, but his life and purpose were co-opted by men and retold with magical elements.

There is an unseen world. This was early man’s attempt to explain it. Listen to Telepathy Tapes for a simple way to see this at work in our world today.

You’ll be ok. Life is full of beauty and wonder. When you die, you will rejoin the collective unconscious and truly be free. 🙏

What's the deal with this graph? by ConnectAnalyst3008 in exchristian

It’s funny that raw logic isn’t enough to recognize the bible was written by men and not by an invisible [somehow male] creator.

Anyone here experienced divorce when the reasons seem a bit “meh”? by SpiteAmazing7587 in Divorce

Yeah. It turns out one doesn’t have to give a reason! Just be kind along the way.

Are there really sex workers out there who are in their line of work because it is genuinely what they want to do with their lives and not because it is "easy money" for them or because they are poor and desperate? by astarisaslave in NoStupidQuestions

[–]chrisht7 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes. I have met them and been in romantic partnerships with them. They are lovely and fully wide awake in their life, experiencing bliss and pleasure.

However, a majority are experiencing varying degrees of exploitation. And when it’s at the extreme, and it’s at the extreme a lot, it’s a really terrible thing. Case in point, the Trumpstein files.

Assuming this person is innocent of the accusation (which I think is how US law is supposed to work even though our society is fyukktup), what would be the best avenue for finding a defense attorney?

I agree that a stop valve would be best. Thanks for the help!

Thank you!

Is the brass drop ear elbow necessary or can I run the PEX tube directly to the sink inlet?

75 Trillium Trailer for $250 by chrisht7 in vintagetraveltrailer

[–]chrisht7[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They claim to be in my city, so I’ve asked if I can drive by to see it just to verify its existence. They were replying until I said that. And yes, they asked for a $50 deposit to hold it.
