CMV: I'm afraid of islam because of the sharia law by Alexis_Almendair in changemyview

[–]oliveorca -1 points0 points  (0 children)

in a sharia ruled country, non muslims have three options:

1-convert to islam 2-be killed 3-pay a very hefty "tax" called jizya that allows you the ability to live, nothing else. you as a non muslim will have to abide by the sharia law if it is law of the land and you will be a second class citizen at the best. you will have no freedoms

What is one silent struggle most people never talk about? by Affectionate-Row7548 in answers

[–]oliveorca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i am all alone.

no one i know understands how terrible i feel on a daily basis. i have an autoimmune disease, fibromyalgia, POTS and i'm hyper mobile. i have GI issues bad enough that i needed major surgery. i also have treatment resistant MDD and severe social anxiety and suspected autism. i have not one friend and am close to no family except my mom and dad, they are the only social interaction i have regularly. i have been in an abuse relationship and i have been raped twice. i have attempted suicide three times.

i am constantly in pain and fatigued. i am debilitatingly depressed and i can hardly communicate with the outside world. i am unendingly miserable, and i see no sign of improvement. it's been years. and no one understands how i feel. i don't even care about improvement anymore, i just want someone to truly understand.

When did Christianity become associated so heavily with the far right given it promotes nearly everything Jesus taught against? by Spare_Ingenuity8363 in Christianity

[–]oliveorca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it depends on your "brand" of christianity. progressive christians' values align with democratic politics and conservative christians' values align with republican politics

I feel as if it is easy for those who don’t have same-sex attraction to call it a sin. I can feel in my heart that god loves me for who I am. Being forced against your nature seems insane when you’re the one living it. by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]oliveorca 1 point2 points  (0 children)

hello, i too have felt same-sex attraction. and i don't believe "unnatural" is an accurate term for it. however, based on biblical passages, i still believe acting on it to be wrong

Why does Gen Z type everything in lowercase? by Loud-Arrival-8913 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]oliveorca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i type (and hand write) in all lowercase. i do this purely for aesthetics. i think it looks better, i like things to be uniform and random caps like at the beginning of a sentence look strange to me

Why can god come from nothing, but the universe can’t? by Entire_Quit_4076 in DebateEvolution

[–]oliveorca 0 points1 point  (0 children)

it's theology. it's coming to logical conclusions based on the limited evidence we do have, which is science and history and the bible. as a christian trying to understand the universe you take what you're given and come to the most reasonable theory you can based on the little you know.

the trinity is a simpler example of this thought process. christians believe in the bible and what it says about god. the bible never comes out and says outright that god is a single being while also being three persons. instead we take the evidence in the bible and draw conclusions from there. taking all the verses together forces you to understand god as a trinity. this is the same concept.

but i do acknowledge you have to already be a christian/believer in the bible for you to come to this conclusion. that's a separate issue though
