As a believer myself, let me try to explain why people tend to hate the Christian community.

Many of them don't practice what they preach. It's totally fine to believe in God, and to talk with others about it, and go to church, but Christians have a tendency to A. Make everything about religion; and B. Don't know when to back off.

As a trans woman, let me tell you what's off-putting to me. Being approached by a person and having them tell me "If you don't change your ways, you're going to hell!" I've heard this many times beforehand over hundreds of different scenarios and actions. God tells us to spread the word with love, not hate. So when you have people constantly shoving it down the throats of the "heathens and sinners", you're not doing what God asks.

Beyond that, so-called "Christians" tend to be very judgmental and look down on the "sinners." In the Bible, Jesus dined with sinners and said "let he who is without sin cast the first stone." I don't like calling myself a Christian due to the problems that come with the way those who claim it behave. I call myself, simply, a "believer."
I mean, sadly your right. A lot of Christians can be simply hateful. Just the sad truth.

Not going to lie, I've only seen that twice...When I go to Chruch, the people there seem to be really kind.

I can assure you, I don't know what other people think, but I certainly don't think about you that way.

Sadly, yeah.

I'd somewhat associate people with their avatars, but I don't give people voices. I stutter IRL so I "talk" on the internet to escape my voice, I think text communication is much different than vocal communication so I don't mix the two.

I don’t really read people’s posts in specific voices. It changes moment to moment based on the last thing i’ve Watched. Everyone here has been everything from John Oliver to Pink Diamond.

Looks like we got some snow this morning...



And of course no snow day. In south Japan where I lived previously, this would of been a few days with no school. Here in rural North Central Japan, this is just a typical winter day. And even if it’s a snow day, teachers are expected to go to school for work. We do so during the summer, spring, and winter vacations, on snow days, on days with typhoons, etc etc etc.

It’s not a problem until the snow actually crushes and kills a family from its weight...which happened two years ago.

What's a good dog for someone with -0 pet experience?
A cat. :troll:

While I'm joking, cats are relatively hands-off pets. Just be prepared for them to bring home rodents and birds if they're outdoor cats (it's worst during the spring).

There was a time a few years ago where our cat would bring home a living shrew or mouse every night for a least a week; you can bet I was angry by the end of it all.

Sadly, my story is the opposite. I do not go to church anymore because of how I was judged and shunned by other "Christians" in every church I went to. And believe me, if I were to go in there now, dressed in a dress with my hair in pigtails, I guarantee you they'd try to force me out for being "a Satan-worshipping tr**ny punk", or make some comment about how I'm "gender-confused". I've seen it too many times, sadly.

Japan sounds like a really cool place. I want to go there.

We're supposed to get snow tomorrow, but I won't hold my breath.

I'm a Christian, too, and it really bothers me seeing people claiming to be Christian and they start hating on/bashing people and stuff, the complete opposite of what the religion actually teaches, not to mention it's horribly rude/cruel. My family was taught that God loves all.

tbh I'm usually uncomfortable with religious discussions online because they usually tend to go down in flames 'cause people can't get along, whether there's a troll or huge disagreements...it's nice to see that hasn't happened here yet.

I mean, it all depends on where the religious institutes are geographically from my experience

Speaking from an ex-Muslim perspective here, but mosques in more homogenous areas tended to be more homophobic while those not there weren't. And from what my sister's christian gf (is that allowed? i have no idea) says churches in the bible belt tend to be a lot meaner whereas those in populated cities are more tame, and it's a coin flip on suburban churches.

Also, I had a miny heart attack this morning. I was cleaning off the cars when I turned around and saw my one year old daughter undo the front door lock, come outside, and fall directly into the snow. We live right next to a river too so we are gonna have to get like an extra childproof lock...

The only way I can describe my IRL voice is by comparing it to Christian Bale’s Batman waking up after a huge night of party where he got drunk and broke his voice to some extent having breakfast.

I can’t think about any other way to describe my voice.

Yeesh... snow is serious business in Japan.

At my college all it does is rain, rain and rain some more.

How often does it snow in Japan though? I'm not very knowledgeable on the climate there.

Ya the pastor at my church was forced out of a holiness church because he owned a tv it's very sad how you can be shunned by a church for stuff like that and it also sucks that there also must be different denominations with different beliefs

I completely agree with your post.

I am catholic, and i got the luck of knowing other believers who are actually dope people.

17 years old actually.
And yes, it is weird.

On a personal level though, I actually just read out the comments on this site in a generic internal "voice".

Whether or not I associate a person with their avatar depends on how long they've had it, what it is, and how it relates to them.

So basically, not that often.

I wish it snowed more where I live. Though probably best it didn't cos my hands always get wrecked in cold weather, regardless of gloves or not.

Also, why are ice levels in games like always the best with 10/10 music (apart from Joke's End from Superstar Saga which can go **** itself)

I’ve never seen the snow in my life.

The Canary Islands are a place where the weather tends to be either hot or just a bit cold with the air or rains.

Imagine a stereotypical "New Joisey" accent that's constantly fighting to sound proper.

That's my real voice.

I'm also black as Hell but I can't speak a lick of "ebonics"
