I'm so sick of all of this negativity about people getting ready for Christmas early. Yes, it can get annoying, but you know what else is annoying? People getting ready for Halloween in JULY!! If we can't do Christmas early, then we can't do Halloween early either. It's just such a negative way to live your life. I actually remember last year one of my friends said when they went out Trick-Or-Treating they would egg any house they saw that had Christmas lights on it, and I responded back: "Do that and I'll egg your house, dick!"
Yes, let's be negative to each other instead of having good holiday vibes early on.
I personally am already super excited for Christmas. And Halloween!
I'd say I don't like any holiday outside its respective time frame ((which I kinda don't)), buuut I just watched the Christmas special for American Dragon this morning, so :p
Meanwhile I just get bothered when my mom starts listening to Christmas music in February because it's just so annoying >.<
Ugh I miss Sarah so much. I have no idea what happened to her, but I hate to think that she abandoned me after so long of promising she wouldn't do that. I know I will never be able to find another RP partner to RP what we were doing. Moreso, I won't be able to find another partner who actually wants to be my friend outside of the RP and find me funny and help me through all of the tough stuff in my life.
WHat sort of stuff did you do again? I cannot for the love of me remember >.<WHat about me and Sera?
It was a fandom RP of one of our ships and it was about them basically having a big family together and the various shenanigans they get into together. We also started doing another one on the side that only makes sense if you've seen the source material. Sarah and I have been RPing for two years, the longest we've had an RP partner ever. I haven't known you guys that long, and no offense, but you two aren't exactly the best at helping me with stuff. Plus everyone has been so busy lately.
Come talk to me after we've been RPing for two years....if we even make it that far.
That's rightI know i've been busy...but that's not something i can control. My dad forced me to start working and that's my responsibility :\
I had meant we're your friends outside of the RP. I'd say I'm even more of a friend outside of RP than inside *Shrugs*
This one, I RP in my email, and I'm also on RPNation. But I haven't checked anything for nearly a week.
I'm most likely in a lot of trouble with my partners for just randomly ditching them like that, but I haven't really been in an RPing mood. Not to mention someone on that site was being rude to me a few days ago and that really didn't help.
A Mod in one of the RP threads deleted my characters randomly and informed me it was because I didn't get them done in time, but they NEVER told me when the deadline was. Hence why I was slow in getting them done. She said she told me what it was three separate times and I repeated that no she didn't, and it was fairly inconsiderate to delete my characters without my permission anyway.
Today I'm actually going to read and respond to RPs. I should reward myself if I follow through on this goal.
One of my friends on here liked a review done by a woman who was extremely upset that a book she read mentioned a homosexual relationship. She said she didn't want to see such things mentioned and that it's not God's way and that any book like that automatically gets a one star rating from her. See, stuff like this is why I keep my own sexuality under wraps and why I get kinda nervous when people say: "Well I'm a Christian." I'm always worried they're going to be like that. And this woman makes me mad.
She doesn't have to agree or approve of my lifestyle or my choices, but she should at least RESPECT them. Because if she's not going to respect me, then why the hell should I respect her?
I can understand your way of thinking.Nowhere in the Bible does Jesus bash homosexuality. And last I checked, being a Christian is about following JESUS and being like JESUS.
1 John 2:6 reads "Whoever says he abides in him ought to walk in the same way in which he walked."
Jesus was all about love. He forgave the people beating him to death and mocking him. He forgave the criminal who asked him to. When he lived he hung out with the depraved. He was with sinners and tax collectors and less desirables. He loved them just as much as people who devoted their lives to him.
Yes, both Testaments bring up homosexuality. One instance is in the OLD Testament and the rules there ((save the 10 commandments)) aren't followed by Christians. If "Christians" bring up Leviticus, ask if they eat pork or shellfish or have clothing with more that one fabric or shave their facial hair or get body piercings and lots of stuff. If Christians do any of those, point out that they're breaking the rules according to Leviticus.
In the New Testament, it's Paul I think that condemns homosexuality. But news flash: Paul isn't Jesus, nor is he God. He was a mortal just like us and we are to follow God's law above a mortal's words. And God's law is a law of love.
John 13:34-35 reads "A new commandment I give to you, that you love one another: just as I have loved you, you also are to love one another. By this all people will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another.”
So Jesus says to love others as he loved us and people will know they are Christians by their love. It sounds to me like he's saying people who do not show love towards others are not his real followers.
There is also this picture I've seen.

If you want, perhaps bring up this topic in the CFD group we're in. I'm sure they can explain far better than me >.<
What makes it even worse is that they were reading a Christian book where the main character was a Christian. When the main character sees the couple show up to her wedding, she just says: "Oh, they're gay. Well whatever," If the book is more accepting, what does that say about you?
Props to that book for having a Christian character who resembles what Christ himself stressed: love.
https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/6... Apparently the author has included other LGBT scenes in her other books that are supposed to be taken in a positive way despite writing Christian fiction, but I say good for her!

WHat do you mean they're "supposed to be taken in a positive way despite writing Christian fiction" ?
Well she writes Christian fiction, and I've noticed a lot of them don't include LGBT scenes, or if they do, they're shown in a really negative light. But her books portray LGBT people as.....people.
Were they shown negative because they were LGBT, or because the person was bad and being forceful or something like that? BAsically, was it the concept or the way the characters performed it?
I think it might be a little bit of both? I think maybe some Christian authors want to include such scenes but are pressured by the community to not put them in, so they end up having to show them in a bad way, even if they don't want to.
If they feel pressured to do it and not good at it then yeah it'll be done poorly.I had actually meant is the concept of LGBT portrayed as evil, or were the characters involved supposed to be the bad guys and so the relationship might have been toxic?
OhThen those people need a reality check because SPOILER: Jesus didn't say anything about homosexuals. He DID say to love everyone.
Ugh that pizza made me feel so sick. It feels like a huge rock is sitting in my stomach, and my stomach keeps churning and grumbling around really loudly.
I probably won't. All the times I think I will throw up, I don't, and all the times I think I won't throw up, I do. I have a strong memory a few years ago in the summer when I woke up really early feeling absolutely miserable and dragged myself downstairs to watch TV and felt really bad, but I thought my stomach just hurt. I then threw up on the floor a few hours later and Mom thought I did it on purpose, even though I had no idea I was sick, and by the time I did it was too late.
