    Game dev in need of a bit of advice?

    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...

    Husband lied about spending time with another woman

    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...

    Really weird dream

    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...

    Piracy and abandonware

    Hey everyone, So I'll try to sum this up real quick; basically, I've been feeling pretty convicted aboutdigital piracy as of late. I agree that it's a pretty gray area morally since it's making 'copies' and not stealing anything tangible, and most of my conviction comes from the fact that it's...

    Difficult concerns questions about pregnancy

    Hey, So as some of you may know, I got married back in June. Because of that, my husband and I have been talking about the elephant in the room; children. We've both always wanted children, and we've agreed that our late 20's would be the best and most appropriate time to start trying to...

    A little update

    Since I've slowly been coming to this site less and less, thought I might as well do a small little update for those who may(or may not)be wondering how things are going. I know there's a strong sense of duality in my mannerisms concerning my posts. One moment I'm very relaxed and happy, the...

    What defines romantic love?

    Question I've had for a while; what separates 'romantic love' from 'non-romantic love'? For a good while, I've been of the opinion that in order for something to be classed as romantic love, there needs to be at least some kind of physical/sexual attraction present. My reasoning being that the...

    I think God saved my husband and I's lives

    The past few days haven't been good. I've been in severe emotional turmoil and my mental state was a mess--after a really stressful suicidal episode I had the other day which almost marked the end of my life, I started openly doubting whether God was even there. I know it was my fault. All of...

    Shameful

    Just take a look at this comment section, yeah? NF is one of the only rappers I listen to. I love his music, because he's very open and honest about what he's going through--and he's obviously going through a lot--and aside from that, he's a Christian. Is he anywhere near the level of some...

    (Atheist Arguments from History: 1#) Jesus was a political tool

    Hello everyone! I found an interesting instagram page with a person who apparently is very much into studying extra-biblical sources of scripture and pointing out 'contradictions' or misconceptions in the bible. I enjoy picking my brain over these things and wanted to get some input from people...

    "I used to think that way too"

    I had an interesting discussion today with a mutual I know, who is a bisexual-ex christian-feminist-humanist-anti white supremecy-woman of color....and I suddenly made an interesting connection between her and a lot of the other nonbelievers I've debated with. It seems as though there are times...

    I'm done (heavy vent/semi controversial possibly?)

    "I want you to live"

    Context: The piece below is part of some dialogue from a conversation between two people in a story I have. It's totally open to interpretation, and while I do have a set meaning in the context of the story itself--I've kept it somewhat vague on purpose to keep people guessing as to the message...
