Is it normal that I'm not a Christian?

  • You picked some shoddy examples of sins. There's nothing wrong with eating chocolate or wearing makeup :/. There'd only be something wrong with it if we were doing it for the wrong reasons. And there's not a *huge* lot wrong with 'diddling your clit' either - though it is not the best thing you can do for your soul... there are more wrong reasons you can do that for...

    What we do is an extension of what we believe.

    • Well aren't you quite the idealist. What we do is an extension of the real world we live in. Life is a constant process of adaptation. Your soul is suffering from a harsh unrelenting superego. You need to get comfortable in your skin, howl at the moon, and go to the cemetery at midnight to piss on graves. Dump a shit on the gravestone of your old headmaster while your at it. He should reap what he sows.

      • We Christians come in all stripes... I just happen to be an idealist one.

        As for pissing on graves... why would I want to ruin my own favorite beauty spot? I love hanging out in cemeteries (my favourite YouTube channel is 'Ask a Mortician'). And getting an Antisocial Behavior Order and ruining the lives of some poor grieving people is not my idea of fun. Howling at the moon would be awesome though.

        • Really? Howling at the moon. Maybe there is hope for you. Very few clergy of Christian churches are able to connect with Realist type personalities, which are almost the antithesis of Idealists. Indeed, I will have to check out 'Ask a Mortician' on YouTube.

          • You haven't met my pastors and ministers. 'Clergy' is such a dated and loaded word.

            The guy's name is Ben. He has a wife and 2 kids, a goofy laugh, likes his food, rides a motorbike and spends his time figuring out how to house the local refugees.

            Is howling at the moon a realist trait? Sounds like something out of a werewolf film to me... I prefer singing opera solos in concerts - or just spontaneously, at work, when I need a self-expressive vent. I love it when you get a really high ceiling - the echoes... there's a chapel where I work and I go there and sing to myself sometimes, when the urge takes me. That's howling at the moon, for me. All that's lacking is the moon. Do you howl when you're happy?

            Yes, Caitlin Doughty is a mortician YouTuber. I love the way she explains the science of human decomposition. I got into it shortly after my grandmother died.

            • I love the howling acoustics in old churches with high wood ceilings. But while there, out of respect for the delicate and in some cases fragile sensibilities of the faithful, I repress my animal lust for survival and manic distain for unnecessary inhibitions.

              I suppose you and I could sing a musical interpretation of Little Red Riding Hood to a wolfpack congregation of survivalists sometime. You could roll on stage to visit granny on a chopper motorcycle. Woooo, wooooo, wa, woooo.

    • There's nothing even minutely wrong with self pleasuring and how could it possibly affect your soul? What are the wrong reasons? Experiencing pleasure?

      • Here we go again. How dare I say something you don't agree with?

        • You can say whatever you like, but so can I disagree with you. Evading the questions I asked with that comment is evidence of the paucity of your position: how about a coherent reasoned response rather than irrelevant nonsense?

          • Why do I need a reasoned response? Give me a reasoned response as to why the universe is not the dreamworld of some alien being, or to why the earth isn't cube-shaped...
            I know God. I'm happy with knowing him. Arguments are just arguments. There will always be a more sophisticated argument to knock yours flat... until you in turn think of yet another more sophisticated argument to beat that one. Philosophical arguments can't make one hair on our heads change colour. So they can't engender or do away with a God. I am convinced he is there because I know him. I'm convinced he will still be there no matter what we say or believe or don't believe about him.

        • She makes a point. Even if you believe in a god that created us. He made apart of our body that gave us pleasure and then expected us not to use it. That makes no sense. When it comes to a soul. It’s never been proven whatsoever that that even exists.

          • Yep, why would a god create for women a part of the body which has no purpose except to provide pleasure and than make it a sin to do anything to experience that pleasure?

            • Part of me would like to just give flippant answers from here because I'm not sure whether you really want to understand my pov as opposed to trying to prove me 'wrong'. I just know God. I wouldn't want it any other way.

              • It seems that your pov has God into everything. If there is a range of pleasure women experience from sex, women that hate it won't fuck. Only those that find sex pleasurable will. The non-sexual women never have kids. So, in less than 100 generations, all daughters want to ride cock.

                Now, there is a place and time for God. But, you have the Omnipotent one inspiring the invention of everything from bubble gum, to sandstorms, to the television media so televangelists can collect money. Where is your common sense going to kick in?
