What do you think is the true biblical explanation?

Thank you Amy. I will also point out that although I'm lucky because I've always loved and accepted myself... I used to get very frustrated with myself in the past. And I don't anymore. My self-compassion has increased a lot. I think the purpose of the past is to learn from it. So I see any...

I think the usual Christian response to this is that God has some sort of complex divine plan and he must have his own compassionate and justified reasons, and we cannot know the mind of God. Some people shorten this as "God's mysterious ways". The only other response to the problem of evil...

How many coincidences does it take for it to no longer be a matter of coincidences?

I am autistic as well. There are indeed bad and dysfunctional things about being autistic. But it's not all bad. There's a place in this world for neurodiversity. I cannot firmly assert that the world would be a better place if everyone were neurotypical. Some of the most talented people...

I think it's very tragic that you believe this. But what makes you think that you are deserving of Hell, or that such a place even exists? I should probably also ask: Do you believe in a literal interpretation of Hell?

Interesting. But nevertheless... is there anywhere in the Bible that says that gluttony is a sin?

Top 10 games off the top of my head at the moment: 1. Age of Empires 2: The Age of Kings 2. Age of Empires 3. Starcraft 4. World of Warcraft 5. Diablo 3 6: Diablo 2 7: Terraria 8: Magic Carpet Plus 9: Dungeon Keeper 10: Darkest Dungeon I'd say my list squares pretty well with my love of...

You'd be surprise how many coincidences there can be that seem too coincidental to be truly coincidental... but that are indeed still coincidences. V-Sauce did a fantastic YouTube video on this topic.

Develop Christian principles without adopting a belief in the Christian God (or in other words, be a so-called "Christian atheist") to start with, at least . . . . . . and if and only if logic and evidence lead you to believe in the Christian God sometime in the future, then do so, gladly...

I'm no Christian but Christians out there can correct me if I'm wrong: The Christian God, if he exists, loves absolutely everyone, right? In a word he is: Omnibenevolent.

I only turned 30 earlier this month, and I'm hating it already! But considering how unhealthy my lifestyle is, I wouldn't be surprised if I didn't live past 60, which, if true, would technically mean that I could already be having a mid-life crisis!

Thank you very much for your kind welcome.

Is the sin of gluttony biblically based? I'm not sure whether the whole notion of the Seven Deadly Sins come from. The 10 commandments are biblical (obviously) and the concept of sin is a biblical concept (obviously)... but what about the seven deadly sins? Where does that originate? I ask this...

Hello there. I'm a 30 year old male rationalist from England. Despite not being religious myself I do find Christianity to be a very interesting religion and I am particularly big on forgiveness and platonic love for everyone. Outside of the topic of Christianity and religion I am somewhat...
