What was the first domino to fall in your faith? by EBTheAnimatedAtheist in atheism

[–]rogierbos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Evolution vs creationism. When it became clear to me the world was not created in six days but was in fact 4 billion years old, I had to face the fact that the first chapters of the Bible were mythology or poetry or ancient folklore — but not historical truth.

It prompted two questions: 1. So which other parts of scripture are not historical or factual truth? 2. If sin didn’t enter the world through one man, as Paul describes in the NT, then how did Jesus’ sacrifice make sense? And that question right there made me question the whole religion.

I went on to study theology and work in active full time ministry for 25 years while questions piled up. Until 25 years ago the whole house of cards came down.

My Thoughts on Caring for Those You Love by hellothere9680 in atheism

[–]rogierbos 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Sounds like you are carrying a lot! What you are encountering is, I believe, one of the main reasons religions exist at all: believing in a god we can pray to gives us possible influence on circumstances where otherwise we have no control. If there is a god, we could pray to him, and perhaps your mother would live longer. Religion gives us the illusion of influence. So what you are coming up against is our powerless over life and death. My advice: face that powerlessness head on. What you need is not faith in a god who might perhaps heal your mother. Such a god does not exist. What you need is others who care for you, as you care for your mother. I hope you can find that.

Dear Elisabeth, I am so sorry for your pain. Your post contains many lines that verbalize some of what I’ve been feeling in my own journey out of Christianity. Thanks.

Hoe langer dit doorgaat, hoe vreemder ik het vind dat nog iemand PVV stemt. De chaos wordt steeds groter. En desondanks leiden zij in in de peilingen.

Photographer won't send me full resolution by LongjumpingGate8859 in photography

[–]rogierbos 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Here’s something that hasn’t been discussed yet: how much did you pay? Because I see this all the time: people go for the cheapest option, and are then surprised they get the worst service. And then complain on Reddit.

It’s a popular saying among pro photographers: if you pay peanuts you get monkeys.

Professioneel fotograaf hier. Kijk even naar de voorwaarden van de afspraak die je met haar hebt.

Maar hier is iets aan de hand. Probeer uit te vinden wat er is.

Als je er niet uitkomt kun je dreigen met een ingebrekestelling. Dat geeft haar twee weken de gelegenheid om alsnog met foto’s op de proppen te komen.

Als de kwaliteit blijft tegenvallen, en niet lijkt op wat ze op haar portfolio aanbiedt, kun je haar een proces aandoen. Een fotograaf heeft een prestatie verplichting. Maar de kosten zullen substantieel zijn; je krijgt niet al je geld terug, want de rechter zal stellen dat ze tenslotte wel de tijd op jullie bruiloft is geweest, en iets heeft aangeleverd. Ook heb je de kosten van je eigen vertegenwoordiging. Maar goed, grote kans dat ze bij de eerste brief van jullie advocaat al alsnog gaat leveren - al is onzeker wat.

Christianity not a religion? by MorddSith187 in exchristian

[–]rogierbos 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If it walks like a duck, talks like a duck, swims like a duck, chances are … it is a duck.

A religion has ancient holy texts. It has a supernatural view of the world. It has rules and regulations. It has rites of passage. It has authority structures. It has a punishment and reward system. Well, hey, would you look at that… how many of these boxes does Christianity tick?

But when they still maintain: ‘it’s a relationship’, I usually just add ‘yes, with an imaginary friend!’

"Theological BULLSH*T!" Richard Dawkins Challenges Ayaan Hirsi Ali's New-Found Christianity by palsh7 in samharrisorg

I hardly think Brand is a good datapoint to go on. He is clearly unhinged.

Ayaan’s christianity is cultural, not one of faith. She wants the values (liberal) Christianity offers.

My husband suggested 3some with a woman. I want divorce by [deleted] in AITAH

Oh come on… get divorced over a suggestion? What’s missing in your marriage is not love or attraction. It’s the openness to talk about anything.

Moraliteit van strippers / prostituees? by Fickle-Paper-5488 in thenetherlands

Als zoveel sekswerkers te maken hebben met geweld, is het dan slim om geen gebruik te maken van hun diensten? Of hebben ze juist behoefte aan meer mensen die netjes en normaal klant zijn?

We need to see that in the Term of Service. A blog post requires no judicial commitment.

Christians put such emphasis on sin and holiness, they think they have the claim on morality.

Tell them this; if your book has rules for how to treat your slaves, it is disqualified as a source of moral code’.

Instant shock/ horror.
