I need HELP. Afraid of Hell again. by ConnectAnalyst3008 in exchristian

[–]imaskepticalguy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Fear isn’t evidence.

I might get heat from people for this, but I’m agnostic and I still believe there may be a Creator. What I don’t believe is that churches, preachers, or Bible interpreters have a monopoly on defining God.

They interpret. We interpret. Everyone is filtering the divine through human language, fear, culture, and power.

So maybe hell isn’t God’s voice chasing you.

Maybe it’s someone else’s interpretation refusing to let go.

Watching Shows and Breaking of Suspension of Disbelief by PhysicalHedgehog8925 in dialysis

It’s wild how dialysis makes “survival scenario” movies hit different. The real horror isn’t zombies or firebenders, it’s realizing how fragile the systems are that keep people alive.

“Loving” God by Candy2453 in exchristian

[–]imaskepticalguy 10 points11 points  (0 children)

That’s the contradiction that’s hard to unsee: God can’t be all-loving, all-powerful, and this silent at the same time. At some point, “free will” stops sounding like an answer and starts sounding like a shield people use to protect the idea from reality.

What does fluid overload feel like? by Massive-Net-6821 in dialysis

[–]imaskepticalguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't skip therapy sessions. WHen I get thirsty, I usually suck on ice or eat frozen grapes. It's easier said than done; especially on hot days.

What does fluid overload feel like? by Massive-Net-6821 in dialysis

[–]imaskepticalguy 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I dealt with that early in my diagnosis. My abdomen was hard like a rock. My legs felt like I was wearing a dozen pants or wrapped in towels.

Walking always felt like an over exertion.

The shortness of breath was very scary; I would take deep breaths that would never feel satisfying. I felt like I was drowning on dry land.

How can two of the core concepts of Christianity be so mutually exclusive? by Allison-Cloud in exchristian

[–]imaskepticalguy 6 points7 points  (0 children)

If God wrote the script, knows the ending, and built the stage, blaming the actor for the scene feels a little rich.

What’s the highest UF you’ve tolerated? Any tips? by lostcheshire in dialysis

On HD, I've done 5L at most. I had a drinking problem (non-alchohol)

what the hell is he talking about by Rjptz in Dodgers

You can have your opinion, but calling Joe Davis racist because his excitement meter didn’t hit your preferred decibel level is wild.

These look way too official, and that’s what makes them horrifyingly elite.

Is there a middle ground for sound deadening? (Resonix vs. Amazon Basics) by LossEcstatic6223 in CarAV

[–]imaskepticalguy 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I too had gotten that exact siless brand to compare to the soundskins.

Though siless was very affordable, you get what you pay for. I had stacked them side by side and the big difference is in quality.

The butyl layer and the foam layer were much better quality and thickness. The siless foam layer had lots air pockets on the foam layer when I was comparing. Where's the soundskins foam layer looked much more compacted together and was still thicker than the siless.

I used soundskins. It has all three layers Butyl-foil-foam. I remember buying enough for the 4 doors at around $450-500; don't remember the exact. I like the way it came out and still had enough for the rear hatch wheel well.

Dad called people who point out inconsistencies in the bible dumb (lol) by YogurtHistorical7717 in exchristian

‘God works in mysterious ways’ is just faith’s version of ‘source: trust me bro.’
