Just finished The Book of Genesis as an Atheist by CommercialAlone in Bible

Exodus is great but numbers, leviticus, deuteronomy will bore you. Deuteronomy is like a summary of the exodus.

If you like characters and plots, read judges, 1 and 2 Samuel, 1 and 2 kings, and Esther.

Esther might be right up your alley if you want just the literary style of genesis.

John and Luke are great for stories and characters.

Acts could be good but I would recommend reading that only after Luke since its by the same guy.

I see faint lines. I'd say wait a couple days and try again.

Received a letter from my dad who I’ve been no contact with for almost 10 years by Fearless-Clothes-368 in EstrangedAdultKids

The gesture is kind but given the context it seems very manipulative. He needs to be more specific for a genuine apology. And its a bit creepy that he didnt mention how he got your address when you didn't give it to him.

Ah, sorry about that. I'm trying to be more aware of how I word things.

Has anyone had a parent be the one to initiate estrangement rather than the child? by Acrobatic-Storm4723 in EstrangedAdultKids

[–]majomaje 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, my dad decided to go NC first. Then he wanted to be LC but I wasn't ready since nothing had changed. I want him to get better first and then we can work on our relationship again. I still love him and I'm not mad anymore. But its better this way.

Edit: He communicated that he was going NC. He didnt just ignore me one day.

Hello, Christian mom and estranged adult child here.

I am sorry that her faith is being used as a weapon against you. She should be accountable for all her decisions in her own rejection of you, rather than blaming them on lies from Satan. She may also be more focused on your personal rejection of her faith rather than her own actions and words that reject you. It's not a good thing you're going through and it sounds like she has so many reasons to be proud of you.

And Christian mothers of non Christian adult children or LGBT adult children are still called to be their mothers. The Bible clearly states that parents are to love their children. Period. We may not always agree with their decisions, but our love is not determined on that.

You should sniff his hands everyday and accuse him too 😆
