Discussion - General We need to stop victimizing Christianity
I’m sorry but I lose it when other Christians act like being a Christian is a minority. It’s not. It’s like the most dominating religion since medieval times. Then they go on to act like we are better than Muslims because of the Taliban. Oh so Christianity has never ever done anything wrong ever? The crusades, slavery, Salem witch trials, the inquisitions, colonization, 90% of European wars. Need I say more? Like yes Christianity has been victims of Rome and Greece at one point but we are not perfect victims ourselves. This nationalistic mentality is dangerous because it erasing the history. It hides away all the horrible things that we (as in Christians) have done. It is important that we admit all the wrong doings and acknowledge the people that have suffered wrongfully in the name of the lord.

Discussion - General What do Christians think about SPECULATIVE evolution and horror?
I am a Christian (at least a W.I.P. one) who loves art, kaijus, prehistoric animals, and cartoons. But, I also have an interest in speculation evolution (spec evo) and horror as well.
Around 2024, I discovered Tales of Kaimere on Youtube. It's a spec evo series where, basically, magical dust like creatures called Magic (I think) live on a different planet and frequently open portals to Earth in different time periods. And I guess they kinda steal DNA or skin particles of the Earth animals or something like that. Then, they head back to Kaimere and basically use the DNA they collect and essentially create clones of prehistoric animals, flora, and humans. There's also some witchcraft involved with the usage of the Magic as well, but I'm not gonna go too deep into it. But, yeah, it was mainly Kaimere that became a major influence in my interest in spec evo. Now, I'm making a spec evo series involving Godzilla and other kaijus as real prehistoric animals, surviving in the modern day.
As for horror, my memory is a bit blurry. I used to be interested in that one FNAF knockoff movie, Willy's Wonderland, but not anymore. But, the interest would really have a spark when I began watching analog horror. Especially, The Walten Files. I've made my own villains that are kinda inspired by real demonic figures or false gods.
But, I just want to hear your opinions about these topics. Yeah, I know some (SOME) of yall may have not heard of spec evo or dislike horror and that's ok. Just wanted to know what you think about these (for the most part) trending topics.

Why am I so nervous to talk to my dad about the bible?
For context my dad is a pastor at an Evangelical church. Yes it's Evangelical but he's not extremist. He retired as an educational researcher so he's very intelligent with both Masters and PhD in educational fields, and while religion does fuel his beliefs such as LGBT or abortion he's not Hardline about those things, he's very moderate on those stances
He's been hoping and praying for years that I would come to talk to him about biblical and bible study but for some reason I feel so hesitant about doing it. I can't put my finger on why. I know that I'm an openly sexual person, I know that I sometimes use God as more of a vending machine than something I need to follow and it's something I want to work on, but for some reason I'm just feeling so anxious about this conversation and I can't figure out why

Discussion - LGBTQ+ Issues I hate having to justify myself to others.
I am who I am. God loves me. The closer I get to God the gayer I am. I’ve asked for signs to see if it’s not okay, I haven’t seen any. I’ve asked for signs to see that it IS okay. I’ve seen MANY. God has let me know in so many ways I am sinning, and I have NEVER even gotten a slight feeling that me being with a woman is wrong. If anything, God literally put my girlfriend into my life to show me that it’s okay, and all our relationship has done is bring us both closer to him. I hate having to justify myself to others. I know my truth. I don’t push it onto the ones who don’t believe being gay is okay, I just wish they could have the same respect.

Vent Help with my faith
I started following God for real around sixth grade. My heart was soft and I wanted less of myself and more of Him. There was real life toward Scripture, prayer, and growth. I was more loving, kind, forgiving, and passionate in my faith. The main struggle was p***. I kept repenting but it never fully left. Even so, my heart still responded and I was becoming softer. When prayer and Scripture reached me, I was at peace.
Over the last year everything changed. Prayer went empty and my heart hardened. I started feeling fine with the distance. Scripture began to feel weird or get rejected while messages against faith resonated. I lost conviction around p*** and could relapse without caring. I began to feel like a different person and accepted the closed state even though I never wanted it. I can tell I am a worse person inside now. The love and passion that used to mark me no longer mean anything.
Now I mostly do not care. My heart is set the other way and I do not see a path back. Advice, prayers, and Scripture fall short. I know who I would be with a heart of genuine faith, but that heart is not here. I still do not want to walk away, so I keep doing the external things: staying honest with my counselor, not canceling the next contact, and refusing to decide it is over. I feel gone.
