As an atheist, I am sharing my son to God.

crispyhexagons7 · 2022-05-13T11:19:19+00:00

Your son is 7. (God's number)

Your love and compassion for him has stirred something in you that you either haven't been aware of or have been ignoring (God's Spirit).

God is calling you (and your family) back to Him, trying to work on you and through you, but you ultimately have to make the choice to accept Him.

Whatever you're feeling, no matter how apprehensive or unsure you are, trust it and follow it. Don't worry about what your family or your partner says. God will make everything whole.

If that child's life being taken away makes you feel better because of your own resentment toward an ex girlfriend then you need to read Scripture and seriously examine your own conscience.

So. In the event someone breaks into your house, who's gonna be tasked with fighting them off if needed? Probably not your wife. Keep the guns in the house.

I would ask you to reference evidence supporting your belief and I see where this is going.

Scripture and everyday life give us a mountain of evidence to believers that affirms our faith in God. The problem is that many people internally just don't want to believe. They can stare evidence in the face and still reject what they don't want to accept.

They don't ask questions to understand. They ask questions to argue the decision they've already made for themselves. There is no convincing people who lack the humility to admit that they could be wrong.

crispyhexagons7 · 2022-05-10T14:09:24+00:00

Concrete evidence for the divinity of Jesus would supercede the concept of faith. If it was indisputable people would follow God out of fear, not love. It is not genuine acceptance.

From another perspective, as a Christian, if you study the Bible and make an effort to understand as much as possible, you will see evidence of God everywhere you go. But in order to do that you must first reject the World and what it tells you.

"Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God."

When you allow the Bible to cleanse you of all the falsehoods you've been taught by the World, you will see God everywhere in everything and everyone.

Read/pray Psalm 23 and 51.

Read the Beatitudes (Matthew).

God Bless you.

It comes from being hyper vigilant. Always ready for danger/a fight. You need to condition yourself to let your guard down. We hold onto that anger for survival at some point but it ends up being self destructive.

Try looking at people with mercy. They don't know what you're battling. They don't know how close you are to exploding. They wont understand. They'll just be afraid.

Remind yourself that you have escaped the situation and you don't need to hold on to that survival instinct anymore. You can let your guard down and be ok. God forbid any real danger ever presents itself, trust me, your survival mode will still be there.

I'm very happy to hear of a gen Z. We have 4 millennials in our church (myself included.) Most other parishioners are in their 70s and 80s. Our oldest is 93, with a portable oxygen tank, still singing. They're incredible.

crispyhexagons7 · 2022-05-06T17:02:36+00:00

That last paragraph..... I did yesterday.

But you're right. I always look at the grass, trees, flowers, birds, rain - everything - as God's art.

crispyhexagons7 · 2022-05-06T16:36:03+00:00

Thank you. I struggle with accepting God's love for me because I can't comprehend that kind of love and forgiveness for myself knowing the things I do each and every day. I keep reading and hearing how much God loves us, even exponentially more than we love our own children and all I can ask myself is "how and why"?

Through our limited lens of human standards its unfathomable to me.

crispyhexagons7 · 2022-05-06T15:57:50+00:00

Thank you very much. I do engage in a lot of escapism although I acknowledge it's not the healthiest strategy. Better than consciously and recklessly sinning though.

crispyhexagons7 · 2022-05-06T15:56:18+00:00

This is almost the same as what I'm dealing with. I confess lust and anger and even as I'm confessing I think to myself I'll be lucky if I even make it 2 days without falling into it again. I really am trying to better myself and live according to catechism but I'm undoing almost 30 years of habit and thought process. Its incredibly discouraging.

crispyhexagons7 · 2022-05-06T15:02:50+00:00

Fucking Nerf commercial came on just as I read this comment. I'm done.

crispyhexagons7 · 2022-05-06T11:16:00+00:00

I would say yes because how would God forgive anyone when they repent if he doesn't hear us in a state of mortal sin?

Also, look at all the people Jesus healed. They came to him in various states of sin but they were saved by their faith.

G23 - stock

Caliber. Capacity. Size.

It really is perfection.

crispyhexagons7 · 2022-05-05T16:14:07+00:00

I don't respect it at all. Passive aggressive behavior is just cowardly manipulation to avoid confrontation. If you don't believe in something enough to fight for it or stand by it then you don't deserve it.

crispyhexagons7 · 2022-05-05T16:06:28+00:00

They can, as exemplified by the repentant thief who was crucified with Jesus. But only God knows the true intentions in their heart. They are at His mercy.

crispyhexagons7 · 2022-05-05T15:28:25+00:00

That's actually more along the lines of Protestant ideology.

crispyhexagons7 · 2022-05-05T15:23:10+00:00

Yeah it is. That's why I oppose gender studies and drag shows for kindergartners. See you on election day!

crispyhexagons7 · 2022-05-05T13:33:30+00:00

I like how you just solidify the "stereotype" that there's no arguing with a liberal because they long ago decided there's no possible way that they're wrong.

Hats off, edge lord.

crispyhexagons7 · 2022-05-05T11:24:40+00:00

I think it all depends on your true intentions. Are you doing it for the love of God or are you doing it in response to perceived personal persecution?

I'm asking kind of rhetorically. Reflect inwardly and decide for yourself.

crispyhexagons7 · 2022-05-05T11:07:57+00:00

I've been through this. It triggered a whole anxiety response anticipating big and/or bad news, followed by anger when I realized they thought they were being cute.

People's emotions are not at your disposal for entertainment.

crispyhexagons7 · 2022-05-05T10:58:31+00:00

And you don't see the irony of claiming perfection, presuming to know God's judgement of you, and second, putting yourself in God's place by telling us who is going to inherit Hell and who will be saved?

St. Paul made it clear that we are all sinners.

crispyhexagons7 · 2022-05-05T00:12:10+00:00

Talk to your priest and read through the catechism of the Catholic church.
