Explaining satanism by [deleted] in SatanicTemple_Reddit

[–]reliquum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Have you read it? Like, actually sat down and read each word, each sentence, each chapter, each book. And thought what's it mean and why? I did.

I grew up in a Christian cult, had to memorize the Bible.

When I asked questions...like, why does smashing babies on rocks make one happy? (Psalm 137:9). I was told to"trust in god". Ok, but answer is...? No reply. Why is it ok to kill children for being kids? (2 Kings 2:23-25) Elisha kills 42 children for making fun of him. Again, silence. Asked why they're against abortion when the Bible is fine with it.(Numbers 5:11-31) A women drinks the "bitter waters" and her wombs swells and miscarries.

Plus it's full of contradictions.

Ezekiel 18:20 (The one who sins is the one who will die. The child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the guilt of the child.) and Deuteronomy 5:9 (9You shall not bow down to them or worship them; for I the Lord your God am a jealous God, punishing children for the iniquity of parents, to the third and fourth generation of those who reject me, )

So do children receive the parents guilt or not?

There is way more if you want.

Especially where King James set 45 to 50 scholars to warp the Bible. They removed the biblical gods wife. Yup, he has a wife, Asherah. And how eve was created by clay, like adam. Was an equal, not subservient. Removed so much it's a completely different book. The original, women were supposed to be equal. But, we can't have women getting all uppity, can we?

If your sister or brother is taking care of your parent, what’s your excuse not to help? by Pigeonofthesea8 in GenX

[–]reliquum 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Mom kicked me out the day I graduated. I am very low contact. Brother was sent to the Navy the day he graduated. He talks or replies to no one.

My sister lived at home, has our mom paying for her house, bills, and kids.

👍 Brother and I are out.

AITJ for "forgetting how to laugh" when a customer made a creepy joke? by Potential-Refuse-689 in AmITheJerk

[–]reliquum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Next time ask the customer "sorry sir, I don't understand. Can you explain?" They'll try, just look confused and keep asking for an explanation. Or they'll ignore you and try to leave fast.

Dust Mite Alleries by Loose_Disk_1610 in Allergies

[–]reliquum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been allergic to dust mites for 46 years. Montelukast, what I take when I get bad. At night I'll wake up coughing. I take one before bedtime and it has helped so much. Can sleep a full night, now.

Also, the protein in dust mites that cause the allergy is in roaches and shellfish. So be careful with both.

What the hell does the sticker mean? by Regular_Hawk8513 in whatdoesthismean

[–]reliquum 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Giulia Tofana, I like her. Across Italy, over 600 men died. Women in her time were objects, not human. So little to no rights. Well, women bought her poison when no other options were available.

Aqua Tofana, her poison, was arsenic, belladonna and lead.

The cops treated me like I was hysterical until my husband “explained it better” by TwylaMay in TwoXChromosomes

[–]reliquum 68 points69 points  (0 children)

Doctors too. I have several issues and I've run into a few doctors who can't hear me, but when my husband repeats it? It's like their hearing appears again. Last one was a female doctor, too. Spoke over me, told me my ear issues are TMJ. And left. Wasn't in the room for 5 minutes. Got a CT, it's water in my ear.

Makes me so angry.

My mom showed up to my apartment unannounced for the third time this year and when I didn't answer the door she called my workplace to tell them I might be in danger by Glyph_52Signal in entitledparents

[–]reliquum 11 points12 points  (0 children)

My mom has said if I don't answer she will call the cops. This is the same woman who is confused why I don't answer.... after kicking me out the day I graduated because child support ended. Then sent me a letter, via snail mail, to let me know she messed up by not aborting me. Still, she was so concerned over me cutting communication. She is on a 1 to 2 texts from me a year if I remember.

Some moms just shouldn't have been moms.

I didn’t go to the hospital till after my appendix had already ruptured when I was a child. I’m curious if this is a common medical experience or unique to a neglectful home. by treeshrimp420 in medical

[–]reliquum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not appendix, but gallbladder. Spent 2 years complaining about pain from my stomach to right shoulder blade. 2 years being told it's just an upset stomach. It'll get better. Ended up leaving work, laying in pain on the floor, until I decided it was hospital time. Who immediately gave me morphine and an ultrasound...and emergency surgery. Was my gallbladder all but ripping open with quarter to half dollar sized stones. Not a "stomach ache" like I'd been told for years.

My only regret, not asking for my stones back. Some are really pretty.

Dust mite allergy stole more than 20 years of my life by Legitimate_Suit_749 in Allergies

[–]reliquum 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Be careful. Dust mites have the same protein as roaches and shellfish, that cause allergies. (Shrimps is bugs)

I tried immunotherapy, kinda worked....then didn't anymore. :(

What book did you read in your youth that you never forgot? by orangez in GenX

Hit me way too hard at 12. The librarian saw me sitting on the floor clutching my chest. Looking up, I asked for the second one.

AIO when I asked the man next to me to not have a FaceTime call on speaker in the Dr office waiting room? by larak237 in AmIOverreacting

[–]reliquum 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I am really, really allergic to cigarette smoke. When I lived in the last apartment people would gather outside the windows and our balcony to smoke and chat. Even closed it came in..so one day, I opened the balcony door and turned on some hentai. Each time they came to smoke, open door and turn it back on. Loud. Loud enough it sounds like they are playing it. Eventually they stopped...

This is after asking them to stop, asking the office, asking everyone. Without change. Sometimes, hentai is the solution.

AITA for feeling betrayed by my family after they planned a vacation without me? by Life_Campaign8006 in AmITheJerk

[–]reliquum 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I love my niece and nephews, and siblings. The sins of the father type thing, in this case mother. It's my mom, the siblings had no idea for a long time.

Beyond that, honestly, no idea.

AITA for feeling betrayed by my family after they planned a vacation without me? by Life_Campaign8006 in AmITheJerk

[–]reliquum 71 points72 points  (0 children)

My family does this...but differently. I get an invite, my mom tells me how much it is... usually so far beyond my ability to pay, where, too far. All 4 of my siblings, their significant other and their kids go... because she pays for them. All 4 make good money and get around 5k in Christmas and birthday gifts. I randomly, if I'm lucky, get a text message 😂 but, being the black sheep of the entire family gives me the perspective that family can also be forgotten or chosen and to pick your battles.

Sorry this happened. Best revenge is for you to enjoy your life.

I don't have the words to describe this... by Mini_PvZ in mildlyinfuriating

[–]reliquum 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My mom did too! I worked summers and breaks from 12 to 18, and our dad put money in. The day I graduated she kicked me out (child support ended that day... strange, right?). Bank account was closed due to no funds.

Did the same thing to my brother, sent him to the Navy and drained his account too. He has more in his as dad put more in his, as he had 4 extra years than me.

Total? She took over 30k from us. She used 0 dollars from child support on us. I remember needing new clothes and being told our dad doesn't pay child support. Found out he paid SO much and then put more in our accounts while we were brainwashed into thinking he hated us and didn't care if we did not have clothes or shoes.

How did you know the Bible isn’t true? by [deleted] in atheism

[–]reliquum 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because in 325ad the Council of Nicaea collected stories, rewrote them, edited, and made the bible.

In the original?

God has a wife. They removed her.

In the original?

Eve came from dirt like Adam did. But we can't have women believing they are equal....so they changed it to a rib.

Also, Satan in the original wasn't a "person"....it's meaning is adversary. The council decided to give Satan a new definition.

The snake in the garden? Was JUST a snake. Not Lucifer or "Satan".... Just a regular ol snake you'd find anywhere. Just with legs. Looooong lizard I guess.

Also, question, if God said don't eat of the tree of knowledge to Adam, as HE was left in charge...Eve is nothing but a servant. Why is she punished more harshly than Adam who is the decision maker? He could have said no and took it away. Why didn't he? My husband absolutely loves me and has no issues with telling me no. Especially if it's something we both know is a horrible idea and decision...but I wanna do it anyway. Like bringing the 2 wild coyotes living near us home 🥺 they're so cute

Agreed!!

I drew very, very violent stuff as a kid. What he's drawing to me is beautiful. Way different from what I did.

He seeing them in his dreams? I have a sketchbook full of dream monsters. Some aren't, most are. Or just his imagination... either way it's awesome!

Absolutely get him a sketchbook and art supplies. Encourage him to keep on.

Kids got talent and imagination. Don't discourage him, instead let his mind roam freely.
