I’m 16f and am a Christian. People can be so rude about being a Christian on this site.. it’s weird. I’m also waiting until marriage, and people seem to get mad about people making this decision for themselves which is strange. I’ve never told anyone that they have to live how I…

The header is a little rhetorical, but discussion is obviously invited nonetheless. I have seen nothing but blasphemous, blatantly ignorant rhetoric about the Father, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit-even the Bible. I look at the tags of the commentators and think, "Okay, so obviously…

Satan never goes after someone he already owns, he only hunts those who are to God or try to know him. If you are distraced, in despair or simply don’t care he already won, will not even bother with you. His main goal is to literally make you think that you are extremely horribl…

I'm interested to know what the thought and behavioral process is like for American men specifically who are politically radicalized online--via social media content, videos, forums, Discord servers, etc.--and temporarily "lose themselves" to the movement. If that's happened to…
