I’ve had this idea over a few things, I think sometimes when people do sinful things, that maybe there is something healthy they could do instead
like if someone does drugs to feel good, they could instead maybe exercise and that can make people feel good hormonally and even give a “runner’s high” to people (this shouldn’t be abused or become an addiction in itself but I think sometimes it could be a beneficial alternative)
So perhaps in this thread we could discuss alternatives to certain things that people do, like sins people commit that could be given some alternative.
For example what do you think about tarot card alternatives? People play with the cards and try to tell people’s futures. Could they play a card game instead? I guess the tarot cards were originally used just for card games? Could they play some kind of card game that isn’t fortune telling? For some people, it might be best to stop certain activities entirely, so they’re not tempted to do the wrong thing.
I’m not a christian at all. Grew up going to church until 16 and noped out of there as soon as my parents let me make my own decision. Not sure what the obsession with other people sinning is? Let them make their own mistakes if that’s what you see them as.
This would be a combination of things, though, right… Some people talk generally about sin, and others take it personal and thus view it as Chrisitan imposition on their way of life.
At other times, Christians are making observations about the direction of society, and again, it is interpreted as a judgment of specific individuals.
I think what we see mostly, though, is people self-conscious about how they are failing the standards that their parents and other people they respect put on them, and instead they reverse it: No, the problem isn’t my substance abuse/fornication, it’s the fact that it bothers you.
Let’s take a trip on DMT. Welcome to the Dank Microwave Taco or DMT for short. Anything and everything goes in here. Be sure to share your experience on DMT with your friends, family and social media. @WiggleHard bans nothing and exiles nobody (Dont doxx wolfballs users, no posting of porn/nudes or foot fetish material unless it involves political scandals, no ads for sex sites or dating sites; do that on your own time, no solicitation for pyramid scams, no posting job advertisements unless from official job sites, no posts supporting pedophilia, not all love is love) also: (we cannot allow violations of the patriot act concerning how we speak, no calls for violence, suggesting you are personally harming someone ect. These things are not free speech protected by law but actually against the law and could get the website shut down.) (no spam posting, especially spam posting of what could be considered symbols of hate) examples: guy posting nazi flag 5 times in one day, guy posting “whitey is the devil over and over, im going to use my best judgement on this one rule)
