I'm not sure I follow everything you just said OP.

My suggestion to anyone that has a person in their life that is bringing them down is to confront that person to de-escalate the drama and failing that to exit that person from your world. Life is too short to put up with someone that is causing you the distress it appears to be causing you. This could be hard if its family or a boss. If this person is your boss then it could require courage and still not might be worth it unless you have alternative work opportunities. But if the person is your friend or a neighbor you might be surprised that many would respond with grace to asking for some space.

If someone is trying to manipulate you away from your chosen beliefs and you don't like that then the simplest response is to not be around that person.

Done and done in the kindest most assertive and gentle way. No threats. No telling them they are bad etc. Since had zero consensual contact with the individual and been in contact with a detailed report to my therapist.

Christians are supposed to turn the other cheek. You suck at your own religion.

Did. Many times over. I'm leaving now to my brother's for safety.

This person likely never will understand how far backwards everyone in our family has bent over for them. Because they are full of pride and jealousy and shame they will very likely never have gratitude or even be able to fathom the sacrifice and forgiveness levied there way.

I expect once they have no more targets and figure out that they will be the sole occupant of this house illegally. When the police arrive. They'll be on there way.


Family and neighbors coming together on this.

Definitely we need to reopen the insane asylums in this country.

I suppose we could focus our prayers on person X being able to be honest and truthful and sensitive and becoming able to understand Jesus Christ and his message on a personal level without all of the extra uneeded suffering. And maybe to respect others and Jesus himself for starters.

Just single handedly keeping the forums interesting.

Don’t get too comfortable. We’ll be in Taiwan soon enough, doing God’s work for the cause of freedom. Amen

Doubt it. Arizona will come online and our interests will change. But hey you could be right if we're slow to build and we are.

Taiwan is a long way from Istanbul though.

I agree.

We'll likely abandon Taiwan anyway. We don't need speedy chips to drop nukes. In fact speedy modern chips are so sensitive and fickle they're honestly a detriment to nuke dropping.

It's only really research and development that matters at this level and between us and Japan we have it licked. Google and pals doing QM and u.s. gove just needs to open up the market to some old patents to keep the kids in some shiny tablets to play Farmville or whatever Facebook games to keep the masses happy.

It's odd to me Bethesda chose to optimize to current gen hardware tho. They got a lot of faith in the hardware markets. Starfield is fucking beautiful tho!



Anyway toooo big to fail probably a few rich folks may lose money butt there's people waiting in the wings to ride their coat tails after the inflation dust settles.

The Chinese aren't good at state of the art or reliability just quantity. And scale.. sort of.. Maybe they got a leg up in QM. Unlikely anything other than impractical showroom pieces though. They'll never get to market.

We got Musk and the Aussie spacers on our side. So gg. There.

What if their beliefs are that you should be abused, neglected, or inconvenienced for the sake of their own simple desires to do whatever they please?

They should be loved and have compassion, they should also not be permitted to abuse other people.

We live in a world sadly that is FULL of evil and it is OUR RESPONSABILITY to protect ourselves and other Christians from this type of evil and abuse.

No one here is arguing that satanists should be tortured. They should be cared for and or excommunicated.

Satanists, Agnostics, Athiests and Me dont go around spreading the word of satan or nogod.

Most gender nonspecific people just get the fuck on with their lives HOPING some crazy christian person doesnt try to "save" them.
Granted, some lgbtq etc folk DO like to spread their word vociferously but the same can be said about christian types.
Conversely, many christians DONT constantly spread and force their beliefs on others. As it should be.

In short WE DONT NEED OR WANT YOU TO SAVE US OR TELL US WE ARE GUNNA BURN IN A FIERY PIT OF HELL.
We just dont care what ya dumb fictional book says.

What we do want is for you to feel good that you will be saved. And that you feel fullfilled in the knowledge you know something we dont.

We are pleased that you do, we just dont care that you do.

As a Christian you should follow the philosophy of Jesus and stop judging people. People are human beings and everyone has the right to be respected no matter their beliefs. What matters is your actions and how you treat others. There are plenty of Christians that claim the title, don't follow it and treat it as a get out of hell free card. You have the freedom of religion and the freedom of speech. But you don't have freedom to impose your beliefs on people or the consequences of people's reactions to your fairy tale. Peace.

13. Now We consider another abundant source of the evils with which the Church is afflicted at present: indifferentism. This perverse opinion is spread on all sides by the fraud of the wicked who claim that it is possible to obtain the eternal salvation of the soul by the profession of any kind of religion, as long as morality is maintained.

This is the dumbest fucking thread ever by the way. I almost think this guy is trolling us, it's just too dumb.

“There’s a passage I got memorized. Ezekiel 25:17. “

“The path of the righteous man is beset on all sides by the inequities of the selfish and the tyranny of evil men. “

“Blessed is he who, in the name of charity and good will, shepherds the weak through the valley of the darkness, for he is truly his brother’s keeper and the finder of lost children and I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers and you will know I am the Lord when I lay my vengeance upon you!”

“Now… I been sayin’ that shit for years and if you ever heard it, that meant your ass. You’d be dead right now. I never gave much thought to what it meant, I just thought it was a cold-blooded thing to say to a motherfucker before I popped a cap in his ass, but I saw some shit this mornin’ made me think twice. “

“See, now I’m thinking: maybe it means you’re the evil man and I’m the righteous man and Mr. 9 mm here, he’s the shepherd protecting my righteous ass in the valley of darkness. “

“Or it could mean you’re the righteous man and I’m the shepherd and it’s the world that’s evil and selfish and I’d like that, but that shit ain’t the truth. The truth is you’re the weak and I’m the tyranny of evil men. But I’m tryin’, Ringo. I’m tryin’ real hard to be the shepherd.”

Tarantino has some stellar dialog that's for sure. Mace Windu really knew his bible quotes.

How do you deal with people athiests or satanists who don't want to understand you, disrespect you and your boundaries, and lack all integrity and trust worthiness?

First thing is fix the question you asked cause by singling out one group isn't right. As far as how to deal with people, start with love, kindness and be forgiving.

[magnetaress]

I agree with aussenseiter, you are equally culpable for letting a *XYZ trigger warning bad person who does bad things to other ppl* go to go on doing the bad thing if you just turn a blind eye.

I know the church isn't stellar in this regard, butt like all hooman organizations they try and the bad action is bad and against the ten commandments. The U.S. government still has no success at this either and are even more oppressive in that they do not allow individual people to defend themselves through the necessary force that is required when a satanist comes into ur life and tries to forcibly remain there and hurt u and manipulate u away from G-d.
