The feel-good (and still very fake and gay) greentexts were always the worst, and largely because of these cringe messages. Implying becoming Christian was the first step. I wouldn’t be surprised if these types of posts are just grassroots conversion attempts from various evangelists.
Lol pastor got caught browsing b/ after dark. Had to come up with something quick.
I relate to the meme honestly. But my first step was LSD.
I refuse to believe anybody actually reads the Bible. It’s not really laid out in such a way as to be readable, it’s just a bunch of events that ostensibly happened that you’re supposed to gleam some sort of lesson from. It’s really boring actually.
It doesn’t really form a compelling narrative.
I’m not a Christian, but I think you’re misunderstanding how “holy” texts are supposed to work. They aren’t designed to be a riveting story, or even to make any sense in order. They’ve been translated so many times that they are a labyrinth of words compared to whatever the original intent was. The only way they function now is like sifting through word salad to find the occasional insightful line that resonates with you.
That isn’t necessarily bad—it can actually make the kernels of wisdom more impactful when you’ve been using your interpretive brain to get through the rest of it—but the problem lies in people finding meaning or justification in the horrible bits.
I actually think Jewish scholars have the right idea in a way: they treat the Torah as a story, a mathematical puzzle, and a secret code all at the same time. The wisdom is in the interpretation, not the literalness of it. People are supposed to question it because there is no predefined truth to swallow from it.
Anon is based
Meh, taking up a religion that’s killed millions of people is cringe, tbh.
Better to go outside and take a walk. This post is likely an attempt of some evangelist to convince some ppl to convert.
Christianity hasn’t killed anybody
Rejection of it, on the otherhand…
Crusades, mf, they absolutely killed millions of people. Not to mention the mass genocide and enslavement of the Americas.
Anon gives themselves purpose, somehow still mentions that they don’t masturbate.
Twice!
You can’t trust dudes who say they don’t jerk off, either they’re lying or dangerously crazy.
depends on the frequency, shit hits way better monthly/bi-weekly…lotta dudes probably got death grip syndrome and don’t even realize it
Could have done all that without religious propaganda. Though I’ll admit that secular organisations rarely have the knack for creating the kind of organisation that churches have that makes it so much easier for them to actually reach people and keep them engaged, especially without a clear (to the members), concrete worldly purpose. Hard to catch up on ~1000-1500 years of Christianization I guess …
It’s certainly doesn’t help that AA has a religious component. I think that turns a lot of people off of it.
which is funny cause the original creator direcrly said the god stuff isnt necessary, you just have to admit you have a problem that you need help fixing
you can jerk off every now and then and still enjoy things. It’s about moderation. Don’t do it constantly.
also use lube you animals, you dont gotta jerk off so much when you can actually feel your dick again from deathgrip syndrome
