DO YOU HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY?

[returntosender]

I'm not trying to be offensive, but I worry about the possibility of a Christian hell the same way you probably worry about versions of hell in other religions.

Also, I don't want them to try to psychologically try to find a connection with the idea of an all loving God and one that is also also willing to torture them for all eternity if they don't accept his love.

Not really what I was talking about regarding suffering in my previous posts in this thread .. but it's around the same ballpark.

I never thought there was more then one hell?

Some people don't realize what they see in others is really themselves..

Divinity isn't the only issue I worry about; in the secular world I worry about the expression of masculinity and femininity... especially feminism.

I think you're at the point and have enough distance to address divinity without the encumbrances you had and the negative reminders. Your perception of God shouldn't rest on your childhood or experiences you had with the church you weren't able to set aside. You weren't in control. But now you are. You can ask questions and explore things with an adult mindset that you couldn't as a youth.

I'm not saying you have to believe in God. I'm saying the decision should be based on the person you're becoming not the one you were long ago. You're in a different place and that's the best time to find answers.

As for the gender wars, I think they're destroying both sides. Looking at the posts on social media is unsettling. Everyone's angry and lashing out. When neither are in a position to oppress on the scale we've seen. They're pulling your strings. I wish both sides would recognize their real enemy and stop fighting one another.

When I told my husband that my son's back was hurting him badly, he told me my son might be starting to also have weather related arthritis.

How on earth did this happen?

Where did the time even go?

How did my son become 40?

With age-related problems to boot?!?!!!

I'm only 55... And life is seeming at it's end... Lol.

Time is a crazy thing!

In a way I don't regret having my son so young though... We grew up together in our own way. But now he's 40.... Hahaha

I hope he is not experiencing arthritis.

Me too, but my husband is likely to be right. I have arthritis in my spine due to severe injury so arthritis probably runs in my family. I can't ask anyone now though.

 

[Michie]

Is he going to see a doctor soon?

 

[Hazelelponi]

Is he going to see a doctor soon?

Yes, he just left to go to the doctor...

There's supposed to be a shortage in beef coming up because they are affected by bird flu. There's got to be a joke in there somewhere

 

[Michie]

Keep us updated.

 

[Hazelelponi]

Keep us updated.

He's home, no to x-rays and yes to steroids for inflammation and muscle relaxers. I guess the doctor is taking it from there at a later date if this is unsuccessful.

I’m surprised they didn’t do X-rays. Hopefully this will help and there will be no need to go further.

New thoughts... Scotland promises not to arrest JK Rowling under the new Orwellian laws ..

I must of missed it. Threats to arrest her? She used to be a liberal darling until she dipped her toe into transgender waters.

Oh it's blown up over there after a trans individual claimed being misgendered. (This involved police).

Under the new hate speech laws just passed Rowling could spend up to 7 years in prison for that...

But they promise not to.. lol

The actual liberals, who we have always traditionally thought of as liberals, are divorcing the woke this year, from the looks of it.

I found a story about what you were discussing. Biological women are still being walked on it seems. I say don’t let the men get you down.

JK Rowling's defiant hate crime tweets are 'NOT criminal'

Reports were made against the Harry Potter author but police have assessed her tweets against Scotland's new hate crime laws and found they did not breach the legislation.

I've heard other religions have a hell before. Regardless... I worry about the afterlife of Christianity the same way you would worry about the afterlife of another religion.

Bird flu? I guess it's a good excuse for restaurants to further raise the prices of their menu items.
