That's not what I mean at all OTL I'm not writing a story about gay people. All of my characters are straight, period. I'm saying that if someone else wants to interpret my characters differently or write their own spinoff where there is that kind of content, the onus is on them and I won't...

It depends on how it's portrayed. Murder-mystery level, where someone is a mustache-twirling villain who just killed someone in a victorian mansion with a candlestick is fine. Writing murder/torture/gore just to be shocking and offensive? Obviously not a fan. Sorry, but your example isn't very...

Hey y'all, it's been a while :'^) I've come seeking some advice. I'd like to preface this by saying that since I am of the belief that homosexual behavior is(to the best of my knowledge)a sin, I'm looking for advice from Christians who believe the same. Not trying to be exclusionary per se, but...

Well, it's unfortunate I should be making a post like this only two months after my happy update in december--but the title says it all. Essentially, as if it weren't bad enough my husband and I were having marital issues and dealing with him being somewhat mean/uncaring to me the past month...

Hey y'all. I think my last official update was around september of 2020, so I just wanted to put out something more optimistic this time. This won't be terribly long, I think? Oh well, here we go.. So for starters, hubby and I moved states and are now living in his hometown. I have to say, I'm...

Most people tend to start this conversation with a somewhat of a snuck premise; that 'evil/suffering' is a non-necessity that, by allowing it to exist, would be in and of itself an evil or immoral act that contradicts the idea of a perfect, loving, benevolent being. The problem then becomes not...

I agree with the sentiment, but I don't think the problem is people not pointing out sins. Usually, the Christians who are lax about sin either don't stay Christian for long--or they developed incorrect beliefs as a way to cope with the crippling anxiety of being taught that sin is around every...

Contrary to popular belief, there is only so much God can do without violating the free will of His creations. Think of it in this manner; suffering is an essential part of the human experience. We would never change or progress without it. Instead of resenting the bad, take some time to process...

@2PhiloVoid @com7fy8 @Clare73 Thank you all for your input! I just edited my post to clear up confusion, as I am not the one who wrote all of the material in the post. I only reposted it from a staunch atheist's instagram page it for learning purposes and to hear rebuttals XD I don't know what...

Decided to continue a series of posts I started last year because I really enjoyed reading the answers y'all came up with. Find the first post here: (Atheist Arguments from History: 2#) The gospels were not eyewitness accounts EDIT: I see there's been some confusion--I am not the one who wrote...

Had a very strange, out of character dream last night and thought I'd share. Basically, I dreamt of a maze-like set of ruins. There were different groups of people (I assumed them to be urban explorers) traversing the maze until they came across a pool of water with a pillar hanging from the...

I added an edit to my previous post that addresses this. I do respect you immensely Bella, and I love seeing your take on topics here on CF--but in this area, I have to disagree. I've already explained why digital piracy is not theft in the sense that something is not being physically stolen...

Well, no--that's actually far from accurate. Nevermind the fact that intellectual property rights are a very recent invention(only in the past few hundred years, I suppose)and are equally morally dubious in how they're enforced. Piracy is more accurate to this; imagine if you had a cloning...

Mhm, I would agree. Though, I have seen some people pretty involved in politics falling for the Qanon conspiracy; I think the problem is that, anyone with an opinion on politics or who keeps up with it even in a superficial sense is 'political'. It is one thing to be political, and another beast...

Instead of asking whether or not the presence or absence of evolutionary changes on a micro or macro scale determine whether or not something required an intelligent mind to give it meaning...why not ask who or what created such a complex function, and the materials with the ability to do either...
