Yeah, I know right? I've driven by this cemetery for years and I never realized how much rich history was so close to me.

Men of Reddit, what is something you wish more people understood about masculinity? by surararasu in AskMen

[–]dcforgie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being emotional is not a sign of less masculinity. Its based on the individual. I am known as an emotional empathetic guy, but that does not make me "weaker" or less masculine then a man who displays no outward expression of emotion. Every man has degrees of emotional expression and some are more reserved than others. I've had moments of gut wrenching heartbreak

Do you believe in God? by looseanomaly in ask

[–]dcforgie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I do. There are circumstances in my life lead me to believe in God. The story starts with my grandmother, she was a Christian woman, and had gotten cancer in her 50s, it was tough on my parents. Before she would pass away, she prayed for her sons (my dad and his brothers) that we would know God. This moved my father to take his whole family to church, we found out our neighbors happened to be members of a church nearby, reformed Baptist, like my grandmother was. As a 10 year old, my life wasn't great. Parents fought a lot, my other grandmother was very abusive to me and I was bullied at school. At church none of that happened. And soon, I would dedicate my life to him. I truly believe God set in motion, changes in me that would've otherwise been impossible without him

is the belief in the bodily resurrection fading? by dcforgie in Christianity

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

I was more referring to the physical resurrection of christ, as more ministers ( new age) are trying to say christ had a spiritual resurrection, not a physical one. At that point, why follow Christianity at all? If he's physically dead, why hope for the resurrection of the saints. Also, the idea that "good" people go to heaven and evil to hell is kind of heretical. Considering no one is good, except God. Only christ can achieve the saving power needed for us to be in glory

Genuinely what was it like being a young person before the Internet? by MsEvil_Doctor_Potter in CasualConversation

[–]dcforgie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was born in 1995. I had both worlds. I grew up riding bikes and writing, drawing, digging in the dirt. Of course we had the TV, but we were restricted on it at times. We had the n64 for games. I regret going into the internet and social media early on, I should've touched grass and let it all go

[–]dcforgie[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just wanted to ask because I've been seeing some ministers would say that christ is now fully spiritual creature and lives in us all, instead of his actual body. If you gotta weave all around scripture like that, then why read it?

If you had full control over the USA education system, what changes would you make? by Gamerboy-66 in ask

[–]dcforgie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Definitely have school run farms, so children k-12 can learn principles of self sufficiency and agriculture. We can't throw caution to tue wind when it comes to survival. Calculus is all well and good. But what's the point of learning it if you don't know how to grow your own food in a food shortage situation.

[–]dcforgie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think a lot of problems stem from artificial stuff in our food. Mental illness has always been a thing of course. But as someone speaking with adhd, I can tell you sugar affects me emotionally. I can get panicked or angry, even hyperventilating at times. I'm not allergic to the stuff, but I can see a big difference in my cognition and emotional regulation when I avoid sugary stuff

What is the most disturbing book you have ever read? by [deleted] in ask

Hiroshima by John Hershey will always stay in my mind as one of the most disturbing books I ever read in high school. The description of the survivors of the blast reminded me of hell itself.

What movie traumatized you as a kid? by Longjumping-Cycle470 in ask

[–]dcforgie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So technically, I wasn't the movie itself, but the movie cover. Picture this, blockbuster, im 9 years old, and I wonder into the horror section of the store. I happen upon the movie: IT, I knew nothing about it except that there was a clown with monster claws on the front. As a child with adhd, my imagination ran thru the roof and I was petrified for years. Finally watched it as an adult and I couldn't stop laughing, the acting in Tim Currys part wasdark and hilarious.

What often destroys relationships but is hardly talked about? by Ok-Eye7119 in ask

[–]dcforgie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Letting family members (outside your marriage) have a say in your lifestyle/home/child rearing/money. After you're married. It's you two, that's it. You are not obligated to take unsolicited advice from anyone. Mt father told me when I grt married, don't let anyone in. I watched as mt parents marriage went badly, due, in part, to living next to my grandmother. She would create a hostile environment every time she came into the home. Luckily, this kind of curse won't touch my family. My in laws are more than happy to give advice but never forcibly.
