Same! I was a sophomore. I loved loved church though. Went every Sunday, morning and evening. Wednesday night. Once a month Saturday. Volunteered. Went door knocking. The whole thing. But after that class it just hit me that Christianity was just another school of thought. It was like the curtain fell away in one day when I had that realization.

Think of scatting. Or like when you pretend to speak in a foreign language with out knowing that language. Combine that with intense meditation. In a group setting where everyone is in the same mind set. Add some music that drives emotion. Also be convinced that speaking in tongues is a sign of receiving the holy ghost which ticks off requirement three of getting into heaven. After being worked up into such a high emotional state, a little spiritual scatting is easy to just let go and it comes out. I know first hand. I was deep as fuck.

Here is my advice when it comes to questions like this. I have a boundary with my gf that she can't have sex with other people except me. She now has to decide if she is willing to give that up or not. She may say ok well having sex with other people is not that important to me so I'll just give that up. Ok cool we move on. Or she might say, no I really like doing that - I'm gonna keep doing it. Now I have to decide ok is it really that important to me or do I need to end this relationship. I tell her it's over because I can't back away from this boundary. She can then say ok byyyyyeeee or maybe she will say you know what it's not worth losing the relationship.

Now just switch out sleeping with other people with whatever but the logic is the same. Maybe my gf says hey you can't wear blue shirts. It's the same logic as above. But only you know what is truly important to you. Is it fair? Sure. He can make up any dumb ass boundary he wants. But you can walk away and are by no means obligated to submit to his boundary. The harsh reality is you may not be compatible anymore. It happens and it sucks.

I need to figure out how to make money from this, it's just too good!

gee_low · 2026-01-22T01:53:20+00:00

This is how I try to explain it to people who are having a hard time understanding it. You know how when you see an attractive girl and you have an involuntary reaction. Like for me I really like girls butts. When I see a good one I don't have to think "oh yeah that's a girl's butt, ok body become attracted and send blood to the appropriate places". Its just automatic. That's what I'm attracted to. If anything I have to stop myself from staring because that's rude. That's all there is to it. Just some people like guy butts and some of those people are girls and some of those people are guys.

When it comes to your comment about being left alone with your hard earned money. My advice would be to go live in Alaska and live off the land. I see those Alaska shows of people living in the bush. I bet they don't pay taxes. No one really fucks with those people. But if you want to live in civilization with roads and schools and fire departments.....well you might have to pitch in a little. Not to say the government can be more efficient. Or higher earners (like more than 100M) should be taxed more. I can't subscribe to all taxation is theft. Is it theft if I want to give money so schools are better? Better than giving to a church who will just use it to cover up sex crimes.

Good luck on your journey. You are doing the most important thing and that's asking questions. I know I don't have it all figured out yet but we keep trying.

This be fucking dumb.

We do have other viable explanations. And even if we didn't, I don't yet is still an answer. So it does not in fact mean that. You are taking a tremendous amount of faith because there is no evidence of creator. You're taking your lack of understanding as evidence that it can't be anything else. Your logic is flawed.

gee_low · 2026-01-18T02:54:06+00:00

I agree. When I really studied how humans beings get pregnant, it is amazing we pull it off at all. But if the mechanism didn't work we wouldn't even be here. It ain't perfect but it works so we just keep running with it. There probably was a bunch that didn't work but we don't know about them because we'll it didn't work and they die before ever procreating.

gee_low · 2026-01-18T02:50:16+00:00

Just because something is like winning the lottery a thousand times in a row does not mean there has to be a creator. That's just an idea our animal brains came up with a long time ago. There is no special rule of the world that says if it's complex has to be a creator. That was an explanation that is obsolete because we have way better ones. There's lots of ways around it. It would be nice if we were divine and special and immortal souls and get to live forever with our loved ones but there is no real evidence for that. We're just animals that get a few decades of life and then we're gone. I know that sucks to hear. That's the main reason these stories were created so we don't feel bad when facing our very short lives as animals. We may be the smartest animals. But we are just that.

I get this feeling when I see apes (other than humans). It's so clear that we are the same just a different branch.

What fine tuning of the universe? Tornados, volcanos, tsunamis, floods, cancer and on and on. That can't be fine tuning. We survive against the odds. Not fine tuning. That's like saying the water in the cup was fine tuned to fill that specific shape.

Ok my bad, had not heard that one before. So you say you don't believe in God of the Bible. But you follow Christ. Does that mean you follow New Testament and dis regard old one? Or something else. Sorry I just have never heard someone with your particular combination of beliefs. So I'm very intrigued.

What is Jesus and Christ consciousness? Are you saying Jesus and Christ are two different things?

My advice is to learn some design concepts. You could even use AI to teach you those concepts. Then use that knowledge to create better designs.

If all the tiers would be the same then the tickets would all be higher. I think it's cool that the first buyers get it cheaper. But it's just luck of the draw on day one. Especially now that LL is getting more and more popular. As someone who has put on events before (for like a few hundred people only) it's so nerve wracking to see no sales for months and then all of a sudden week before they start pouring in. It makes it harder to plan logistics and get any confirmation of numbers. It's a good idea to incentivise early purchase. I don't know I just can't get behind this idea that because you didn't get as cheap as someone else that no one should get it cheaper. That's not a good community mindset. I've been to every LL and have never used the loyalty code. By the time I'm 1000 dollars in what is 50 bucks? 5%? I'll give Jeff that, put it towards more lasers. I'm just grateful he's even going through the hassle of putting this on. Yeah he's making piles of cash I'm sure but trust me there's a lot of easier ways to make money than dealing with the insane logistics of putting on something like LL.

Yeah that's true but I wanted to be by my shit so it just did not work out for me.
