feel free to send in asks about....

a) abortion (arguing for/against)

b) Christianity (arguing for/against)

c) my beliefs on controversial issues (homosexuality, blm, hell, etc)

d) idk what else...i could talk about my dog?

I don't respond to arguments in the reblogs/replies- there's too many for me to be able to give thoughtful replies to all of them. If you want to say something- SEND IN ASKS or else I will ignore it.

God hung the Sun, the Moon, and all the stars in the night sky and the rocks and trees cry out and worship Him.

I thought of a memory that’s stuck with me for probably close to 6 or 7 years now.

While I was neck-deep in witchcraft, I happened upon a Bible in the trunk of my car. I remember joking with my friend about why it was there since I didn’t believe in God. As I said this, I flipped through the pages nonchalantly, wanting to find some tidbit to read aloud, only to find a passage that spoke about there being only one God.

I also remember one night while I worked in the food industry, a woman walked in and ordered a drink. She paid with a 20 and waited for me to return with her order. When I did, she pressed the change into my hand, looked into my eyes and said “God still loves you.”

Back then, even in my miserable state away from God, denying His existence, addicted to porn, practicing witchcraft, doing drugs, I couldn’t help but cry when she said that. Looking back on it now, I know it’s because I reached a point where I thought I was beyond salvation - that God could never love someone like me if He was real. So, to hear her say that, to feel the sincerity of it, it just hit me in a way that my heart and soul longed for.

I love remembering those moments now. If you’re reading this and think you’re beyond salvation, that God could never love someone like you for whatever reason, I want you to know that God loves you too.

one of my sisters was a (seemingly) devout Christian. i thought she loved the Lord, and nothing from her behaviour hinted otherwise. she took dutiful notes in sermons, discussed theology with me, and had dreams of living on a farm and raising lots of children.

then she left for work last december and never came back. she said horrible lies about our family, about the church she used to love, and about my parents. even her cat, whom she used to dote on, could be “killed or given away” for all she cared (i took the cat to my apartment, and he’s well loved now btw). she rejected God, and will be removed from membership from my church in a few weeks.

she’s living a dangerous lifestyle, and while no one in my family likes to say it aloud- we’re all terrified she’ll get herself killed. hell feels so real.

my parents, my pastor, women from my church, my grandparents; all have implored her, pleaded with her to see what she’s doing, where she’s headed but to no avail.

i haven’t seen her in nine months. i used to hang out with my family at least once a week, now there’s an empty seat and i feel the hollowness too.

i say this all to point at how closely this post hit home. it gives me a glimmer of hope. no one is too far gone- and the Lord can call us to Himself in an instant. His Grace is sufficient, and His Word still saves.

i have to remind myself of this everyday. there is hope. there is hope.

This is why I hate when people say "puberty blockers are fully reversible" because they just ignore the fact that the person still has to live with the side-effects.

this is actually pissing me off so much. why does therapy language have to suck the eroticism and desire out of everything

[theconstitutionisgayculture]

Because marriage is supposed to be a lifetime commitment, Dr Emily. Putting in a backdoor that essentially says "I can leave whenever I want" kind of defeats the whole purpose. Also yes, fuck therapy language. Very little has done more to make people absolutely insufferable than the proliferation of therapy words--usually used incorrectly too--into daily language.

It's astounding to me how obvious the human necessity for religion and ceremony is.

I was just forced to sit through a class on stress management and the two primary (and supposedly scientifically backed up) suggestions of the session felt so ironic coming from the presenter. They were: meditation (which involves focusing on the repetition of a word or phrase), and mindfulness (which means to focus on taking in the world around you.)

That meditation thing? Gee, it's almost like we're supposed to try and pray without ceasing. That mindfulness thing? Gee, it's almost like we're supposed to appreciate all the small, mundane things of beauty God loves to stuff into our everyday lives.

In other words, these "techniques for stress management" are really just putting religious practices back into people's lives, simply repackaged with a secular sticker stamped on top.

I don't know. It's just fascinating to me.

The world aches for God but would rather die than admit it. Truly we are a stiff-necked people.

I have a blue button that creates kittens. You want a kitten, so you press the button. You notice many others are pressing the button and creating kittens. But then you also notice the other people who press the blue button, creating a kitten, and then they drown the kitten in a bucket of water. And they do this over and over and over. Create kitten, drown kitten. You ask why they would drown the kittens. "We don't want kittens," they say. And you wonder why on earth someone would press the kitten-creating button over and over if they didn't want a kitten.

"Maybe we just like the color blue," they respond. "Maybe we just like pressing the buttons."

"But every time you press the button, a kitten dies," you plead. "What if you didn't press the button at all? What if you pressed the button and let the kittens live?"

"We want to press the button, and we want to kill the kittens."
