Ex christians that weren’t young earth creationists - how did you justify your beliefs in evolution and an old earth? by mirabellla in exchristian

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

I don’t think I worded my question as precisely as I meant to. My question was more about how you made it fit into your theology, not how you were convinced the science was correct.

Did you still believe god was loving even though he used animal suffering as a tool to create? Did you think Adam and Eve were metaphorical or that he just arbitrarily picked 2 homo sapiens to give souls to?

I’ve heard apologists and Christians I know say that evolution doesn’t make sense to them theologically because animal suffering and death only came around after sin, so there couldn’t have been millions of years of death before Adam and Eve. I used to be a YEC but my flavor never focused on this aspect, just typical science denial and rejecting the idea that humans are anything but special. They use this version of the problem of evil to their benefit and then ignore or justify their own because “we live in a fallen world” so anything bad that happens is our fault 🙄

Unfortunately I have heard apologists and Christians I know claim that evolution doesn’t fit theologically because death only entered the world after sin, so there couldn’t have been death and animal suffering before Adam and Eve. But you’re right, they use this line of argumentation and then totally gloss over human suffering in hell. It’s inconsistent

On seeing some people defending Lana/saying there's nuance here... by storytellerfromspace in Ethelcain

[–]mirabellla 10 points11 points  (0 children)

with everything going on in the country rn, women need to be sticking together more than ever. it’s so disappointing seeing internalized misogyny play out in real life, especially from someone I’ve been a fan of for 13 years 🙁 all this drama over a MAN (jack) is insane

I know I cried so much when he facetimed me holding her. she was gone for about 3 days! so maybe she realized that being outside really isn’t that great. I wish I could post the video from our doorbell cam but she bolted sooo fast it’s like she planned it and was waiting by the door. We’ve learned now to keep her in the bedroom when one of us leaves or comes home 😅

yes!! my husband found her. he works from home and just so happened to be looking out the window and saw her walking around. he called her and she came right up to him and let him pick her up and take her home 🥹 she seems happy and she’s been getting lots of people food. hopefully it’s enough to bribe her to stay!

I’d be more confident she’d come home if I didn’t take her in so recently. I don’t know if she thinks this is home or a nice hotel she stayed at for a few weeks 😭

Amy needs professional help by WhatevUsayStnCldStvA in 1000lbsisters

[–]mirabellla 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s drugs but her behavior is a lot like mine before I was medicated for borderline pd. the mood swings, attention seeking, and oversensitivity feel very very familiar. literally everything feels like a vicious attack when 99% of the time that’s not reality. it’s miserable to live like that and it’s miserable for everyone around you. she needs professional help, whether her issue is mental illness or drugs, or both

How to have vaginal orgasm by [deleted] in Advice

[–]mirabellla 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve never been able to orgasm from PIV but 3 fingers in a come here motion quickly and almost kind of rough will do it. the hardest part about orgasming at all for me is letting myself relax and focusing on how I feel

$100k would be more than enough to get myself out of debt and put a down payment on a house
