Interesting point, and I agree. I recently told a girl I wasn’t comfortable being her friend anymore because essentially she’s a dirty slut, and while we get along and she’s a fun and sweet girl, she’s trashy and I don’t need “friends” like that.
She was obviously super offended, and asked what the big deal was and I told her our morals are incompatible. She thinks it’s fine to cheat on her cuck boyfriend and even tried to seduce one of our happily married coworkers. That is behavior that I cannot respect and won’t hang out with people like that. She still didn’t see the issue.
But if all the women in her life let her know she’s being trashy, maybe she’d clean it up.
Good for her, I wonder sometimes how much heart ache I could have saved just keeping my standards high.
I too have come face to face with values shifting for tolerance, something I’m working to sort out, with help from my man, bless him.
My dad warned me about pretty much exactly what we are seeing today, and I thought he was being silly or archaic and old fashioned. It took a long time and some serious reality checks to see that I was one of the frogs in the slowly boiling pot. (Raised with a little homeschool first, dad was a pastor, dabbled in liberalism for a decade before the 2016 election and what I consider my personal redemption and return to my roots)
While I no longer call myself Christian, I do still believe in ultimate good and evil, and we are in the midst of The Spiritual battle of our kind. Gotta be honest I’ve been struggling with my faith and the signs of the times. Can’t help but get those Revelations gut feelings about the end, the seven years tribulation, peace in the Middle East, sons and fathers turning against each other... definitely has me doing some soul searching.
Yeah not too excited yet haha, just paying close attention.
How interesting to find someone with such a similar background! Right down to dating a leftist with a huge chip on his shoulder about family and God. Really shows us how that ideology gets in and influences people. My very Christian father was very surprised by our last conversation, in line with possibly being more conservative now, about 5 years ago we stopped talking for a year or so over my anger at organized religion and my shitheaded liberalism at the time. I have some scars from my time in the church, so I’m not sure I’d go back, but I was always a believer in the personal relationship and faith, not really the community.
I guess a lot of my struggle with my faith is the question of God being all good and all knowing and all powerful, if he is all three how can there be so much pain? Why does a baby in a third world country never see his first birthday because bugs ate his eyes, it’s hard to see god in those cases yanno? My dad always brings it back to free will, which is frustrating, but filtering this conversation through that lense helps, as it is obvious that our free will and loosening our morals for tolerance has lead us to the issues in this post.
What kind of church did you find? I agree that many places of worship are in name only and aren’t really spreading the base message.
