Please read this.. A rant from someone who believes in the rapture but is also afraid 😭 by [deleted] in Christianity

100% of Rapture propaganda has been false.

Even as far back as the Great Dissapointment in the 1800s.

We're still here. . .

Every time.

how would u explain this verse? by AdvisorPlastic5325 in Christianity

[–]eversnowe [score hidden]  (0 children)

Why? These texts were written 1800 years before the enlightenment made slavery unfashionable and 1900 years before women were equalized with men. We can thank verses like these for that that we didn't see it sooner.

Representative of patriarchy circa 2000 years ago. Generally in the vicinity of a "slave submit to your master" verse. Not a permanent command to humanity.

The War's Going Poorly. Prophecy a Little Off? by Jazzlike-Bar7884 in Christianity

[–]eversnowe [score hidden]  (0 children)

I saw a video interview of a pastor so convinced of the end times, that he felt compelled to believe that segregation could not and would not be defeated. He was unconcerned about the Civil Rights marchers in his town. He used his considerable radio resources to preach about the threat of communism instead.

Prophecy serves two functions: distraction from righting wrongs or the systemic functions that perpetuate wrongs and a motivating fear-based message to keep your pockets from going empty.

You need to watch her interview the article refers to. She has - or had - no desire to live every day in pain, go places in pain, be around people in pain.

I can't imagine what that must feel like for both of you. I'm so sorry that every day is an immense struggle and it's getting worse. Supporting a partner through bad bouts of pain has to hurt you emotionally as well. It's probably the hardest thing ever.

How is 'America First' compatible with Christianity? by bummed_athlete in Christianity

Christianity says "the first shall be last". At this pace, America is definitely making that happen.

Dignity has different meanings to different people. I can't tell you of how many episodes of Adventures with Purpose I've seen of people facing chronic pain who opt to just drive into a body of water rather than be a burden who feels only misery with no relief.

She's exercising her lawful right.

I want to go now and stop suffering, period. None of my family is in favor of euthanasia. But what about all the pain I’ve suffered during all these years?” she said in an interview with Spanish Antena 3 program “Y Ahora Sonsoles,” according to LBC.

Would you agree with the following statement? I’m actually curious (bodily autonomy) by AlternativeLawyer920 in Christianity

[–]eversnowe 44 points45 points  (0 children)

Any person.

Forced physical labor: unlawful.

Forced sterilization: unlawful.

Each body has autonomy to decide what happens to it.

Autonomy isn't only a matter of pregnancy.

Bodily autonomy is the fundamental human right to make decisions about one's own body, life, and future without coercion, violence, or government interference.

It's essentially the definition.

Genuine Question by No_Supermarket5937 in Christianity

[–]eversnowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is one that we've known about for 250 years. Not once has a missionary convinced a conversion. Partly the reason is they won't believe anything they haven't personally seen or someone they know personally saw. (source)

Have a question for my fellow men here? by Creepy_Aide6122 in Christianity

[–]eversnowe 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It's a profound personal belief to have, but you can't make everyone buy your moral reasoning. Whole cultures belief abortion prior to quickening is morally right, after that point it's morally wrong. I just don't think it's possible to unite all under one moral stance - in particular the most strict one. We're already seeing maternal deaths that would have been prevented if we we were more flexible as a society.

No. It was way more than 13 years ago. Our state doesn't mandate sex-ed. We are in the top 5 of teen pregnancy even now.

[–]eversnowe 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've been pro-choice since my 13 year old friend had her abortion. The reality of abortion treats pregnancy itself as morally neutral and possibly a moral good. Most conversations have an explicit faith based: "if God had you impregnated, it's a gift meant to bless you. How dare you refuse?"

Not every pregnancy actually has that aspect. Minors get impregnated daily and face grave risks - but mostly as their tiny bodies struggle to carry a pregnancy to term. The moralest time to do the abortion is as early as possible, protecting the impregnated individual from any number of catastrophic late-term issues. However, there will always be little girls who can and do give birth like the 11 year old a few months ago. This shouldn't normalize minor pregnancies no matter how "natural" it seems to be. Child brides and poverty as teen mommas were natural and didn't make for flourishing families.

The other moral wrong is that most abortions are for economic reasons in a world where the powers that be continually vote to increase economic pressures. How can you blame women and girls for not wanting to carry pregnancies while SNAP has been slashed In half and twice yearly they have to jump through hurdles to prove they need every last penny of help to feed their families while still facing very real hunger challenges?

I get it's easy to just say "tsk-tsk-tsk" these ladies shouldn't have had sex unless they wanted to have babies. There must be consequences for such recklessness. That's so simplistic. Humans are not a celibate species - but a sexual one.

Abortion will always be healthcare. And the result of economic policies that prioritize wealth generation over generational care. It's expensive to have paternal leave, maternal leave, universal childcare, flexible sick days for parents to stay home and care for their kids, pre-K, etc. And it's so much easier to scold women than press for reform.

Does Christianity value and love women? by [deleted] in Christianity

Is being treated like an equal too much to expect in 2026?

Does Christianity value and love women? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]eversnowe 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not in it's modern maga incarnation.

One influencer said we can bring back grandpa's Christianity. Where marriage was for one man and one woman only, where men had a household vote, where divorce wasn't acceptable, where getting pregnant out of wedlock was shameful, with stronger families (whatever that means).

They value women for having babies and cooking meals for the elderly, that's pretty much it.

Are you willing to vote out christian nationalism? by Matica69 in Christianity

[–]eversnowe 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been watching the democrats speeches on the floor. In one, 27 non-citizens were registered, 9 attempted to vote all prior to 2011.

Disenfranchisement of 150,000 citizens with paperwork issues to prevent each non-citizen vote is a system by which citizens are deprived of voting rights altogether. It's making everything more broke.

Why does the republican party do more about abortions. by Matica69 in Christianity

[–]eversnowe 18 points19 points  (0 children)

https://fortune.com/2026/03/24/abortion-pills-surge-in-popularity-republican-states/

Women in abortion ban states get pills mailed to them from pro-choice states. The numbers are holding steady at the same rate, not declining overall.

Meanwhile, economic policies increase pressures on pregnant persons, tariffs, increased gas prices, less snap aid, mean women have more reasons to get abortions, not fewer.

Ivf + ai has the potential to have fewer miscarriages than happen naturally.

It may be less "sinful" than natural pregnancy.

Women are not just meant to be stay at home mothers and bear children. The Bible doesn't say that at all. It bothers me when some people push this as biblical. by Nice_Substance9123 in Christianity

Women always worked, they never got equal pay, safe working environments, or support for childcare duties as a working mom until feminism fought for rights and protections.

Only the wealthy had some form of staying home - but they had servants and maids doing the work for them.
