We need the obnoxious atheists back. I know they engineered their own destruction by being annoying and pretentious, but it has become apparent how essential to the ecosystem they were. The religious fanatics have become too bold without their natural predators. Jesus wojaks would have been torn to shreds in 2011.

so my sister wrote a book

it's a christian herbal book here's the summary:

Life Began in a Garden: The Book has more than 60 herbal profiles, more than 50 herbal recipes, and more than 35 biblical references throughout. Plus two bonus unfilled profiles to get you started on your herbal journey. A great book for those just starting out to those who have been on their herbal path for sometime. No matter your experience level, this book is packed with herbal knowledge and know how.

For many years herbs have supported us. It’s time to get back to basics, Herbies! 🌿 “Then the Lord God took the man and put him in the garden of Eden to tend and keep it.” Genesis 2:15 NKJV *No AI was used in writing this book.

friendly reminder to my fellow Christians that the seriousness of a sin is not dependent on its social consequences

when Scripture says all sin is equal in God’s eyes, it’s not saying that sexual immorality or gossip has the same social or physical consequences as murder - but that any of these warrant separation from God because they directly counter some aspect of His purely sinless, life giving nature, or His fundamental design of the world

on the same note: there is grace for all sin in Jesus Christ, but the consequences will (and should) look very different (ex. being held accountable + repenting for gossip vs. seeking help, accountability and repentance for [most] sexual immorality (some cases do require prison) vs. repenting but also losing certain earthly freedoms and serving time in prison for murder)

Keep Praying About It

[kingdomreigns]

When over the years someone has seen you at your worst, and knows you with all your strengths and flaws, yet commits him or herself to you wholly, it is a consummate experience. To be loved but not known is comforting but superficial. To be known and not loved is our greatest fear. But to be fully known and truly loved is, well, a lot like being loved by God. It is what we need more than anything.

— Timothy Keller, The Meaning of Marriage

Its okay to struggle, we pray so we can overcome it

Amen ✝️ 🖤

Sometimes we ask God for things, for answers, and He puts them right in front of us and we still doubt that it's the answer.

I've been praying over some things recently, and the answer was clear as day but I was struggling with so much doubt and unbelief. God answered this with a thought, something along the lines of, "It's one thing when you struggle to believe in something you can't see, but what about when you struggle to believe in can see?"

Pray for the answer, and when God provides it, pray for confidence and help in your unbelief.

If you don't want to be Christian or if you don't like Christianity that's fine. But what's not fine is strawmaning and using a lack of theological and philosophical understanding to talk bad about a religion that is not your own. If you've been hurt, my heart goes out to you. I hope you get therapy and that you can find peace and wholeness, however that looks for you. But that does not give you an excuse anymore than it gives anyone else an excuse.

Also: Fundamentalism is heresy.
