i’d argue trauma kinda does the exact opposite, it makes you a worse and weaker person. I developed alot of negative traits that’ll probably stick with me forever no matter what i try to do to alleviate it thanks to my wonderful and amazing parents
yes my goat
“god has a plan”, or anything like that when someone has experienced things that are only the worst of humanity.
Don’t group all religious ppl as literally only christians do this and no one else. It’s honestly really annoying hearing “religious ppl” and being generalized like that. I’m really sorry you had to hear that and go through all that and be told that 
it really sucks. I hope you’re doing better
No, I mean all religious people - doesn’t matter your faith, manners are still a thing.
It’s been said to me by a jewish person, a few muslims, a pagan once, and mormons. Don’t stereotype christians while you’re at it.
I mean anyone religious, do not use someone’s grief and pain as a way to preach. I did not mean to offend, but anyone can end up doing it, regardless of faith. I’d rather be practical and say ANYONE than just christians. That way, I don’t single out Christians for something that anyone who’s very religious could do.

the point is literally nobody says this 
i take personal offense to being grouped like that lol sorry if i took it the wrong way/personally but i hate this whole idea that every religion is exactly like that one and that we’re all “like that” when that’s the furthest thing (i promise you literally no one else would tell you that. it’s only an issue with them not everybody else)
wtf really? damn okay I’m sorry i had no idea 
ignore what i said before this. that’s extremely bizarre idk why those ppl would do it it’s just strange
yeah i agree sorry that i didn’t understand what you meant at first. i was confused because in my life I’ve only ever seen one group spout that garbage bcuz idk it’s taught to them lol and i could personally never even think of saying something so shitty to someone. like i swear if someone part of the same religion as me told me that i’d probs give them a couple not so nice words because literally whyyyyyyy would anyone say that
this is not a good like… ig standard for that? as being very religious =/= being insane, suffering psychosis, and spouting bs. i like to think of myself as extremely religious but as i said i’d never even dream of forcing my religion onto ppl by saying shit like this (only happens in a specific group bcuz of specific reasons that have bled to other groups bcuz of reasons i won’t get into as i don’t wanna piss them off cuz ik how this goes)
i just feel like there’s a very… big bias ig? like when someone is “very religious” they’re automatically horrible and completely insane which is just… not the case? unless ofc you’re insane but then again most ppl who are crazy like that aren’t actually very religious nor do they follow the religion like they should. they just use it as an excuse to be an attention seeker (seen this myself in pagan spaces it’s really annoying)
but erm yeah idk sorry for like ig assuming i understand you didn’t mean any offense it’s cool
I consider myself quite religious and it really pisses me off when people of the same faith as myself jump into the most random places to preach suffering and brimstone for absolutely no reason.
I could not imagine doing something more counterproductive.
Telling people “REPENT NOW OR GO TO HELL.” isn’t making anyone convert, its making people generalize us as fanatic cultists. Like seriously, how far off the mark can you possibly hit???
Same with “Your suffering was all part of the plan, get over it, and be happy you were part of it”.
Just know, I don’t think most of us like these people either.

i find the whole idea of needing to convert ppl extremely stupid. people are happy in their current faiths/lack thereof and they don’t care nor do they wanna be converted to anything. it just baffles me that this is something that’s just accepted. i personally think it’s harassment. as you said all it does is that it just makes people feel extremely bitter and angry. like i go out of my way to block every single person i see who says this kind of shit online without any questions and i see it constantly. my block list is thousands of people long cuz under EVERY POST/VIDEO/ANYTHING with a diff religion than the most widely practiced one every single comment is like “convert convert now or buuuuuuurnnnnnn this god loooves youuuu but you’ll buuurn you filthy evil heathen” or smth and it pmo. just like how during the olympics they had to make it all about themselves even tho fun fact the olympics honor the greek gods and that’s why what happened happened. this obsessive need to be the center of attention in every single aspect of life is extremely unhealthy toxic and vile imo like constantly forcing everyone into it.
i just can’t understand why they can’t practice like a normal person without being absolutely insane constantly. and ik not everyone is like this but when it’s all you see you can’t help but start to resent a bit and get certain ideas. have hella respect for ppl who can act like normal human beings and not be completely batshit
Yeah, just beat them with hammers at this point.

I do understand the feeling of needing to because if you understand their beliefs, you understand what they truly believe they’re trying their hardest to prevent. (eternal suffering, hellfire, etc etc)
Their intention is admirable and respectable but holy shit they’re so fucking bad at it and they need to shut up.
Conversion isn’t something that just happens because you read a comment on youtube, its a very long and difficult process, much much more so if its some random stranger on the internet.
You don’t just restructure somebody’s entire understanding of the world overnight, that’s just not how it works.
Kind of an interesting question but is to enjoy the practice of combat against another person in any given context technically a form of sadism?
Like, martial arts
(Asking kind of just everyone here as a general philosophical nugget to ponder over)
i always find the idea that yahweh is all loving but if you dare not kneel before him have fun burning forever and suffering forever really weird
that’s why when i was young i threw up my middle fingers and cursed him out and left the faith forever i think living in this fearful mindset that if you touch yourself you’re gonna burn is just really traumatic and bizarre. i used to hate myself bcuz of that but it’s fine i left and then was an atheist for a decade afraid of any religion i won’t get into allat now cuz bleh it’s pointless. i personally cannot even fathom saying a deity is all loving and just perfect and kind and amazing and yet if you don’t worship them you could cure cancer but still fuck you burn it’s just… idk insane to hear. but maybe that’s just me in a religion without any real rules except literally “use common sense and don’t be rude” i could never imagine living in constant fear like that. like i miss prayer for a day and i feel bad i don’t fear for burning forever or smth insane like that cuz the concept of hell isn’t even the exact same and i don’t even believe in an afterlife
trust me iiiiik it’s not just a “today i am this religion” oooh noooo it took me MONTHS to even accept that i wanna be religious again after being an atheist for so long. it started with me learning about the religion i am part of and then consuming content on it for months then finally thinking “i can pray once what’s the harm in it?” and then i had a spiritual experience and was like “wow that’s crazy” and then over time very slowly i started to really believe it and build it up and only MOOONTHS later did i finally say “y’know what? fuck it I’m officially part of this religion now” and it was probs one of the best decisions I’ve made in my life ngl
I asked my question at a bad time what the gyatt is this vro…
also i wanna make it clear that i mean no offense at all to anyone with this lol believe what you want but that’s my perspective on it that being fearful like that is just very harmful to your mental health idk
Read a recent interview about Touhou 20 using AI, and it looks like it’ll stay in the game. Now I’m sad.
