My strangest fear was the fear of chicken soup. Did anybody else ever have a very strange off the wall fear? just wondering

Lol i have soocd so that's why i was afraid but at that moment i didn't know why.

@Ioana9 A few of your points differ based upon denomination. For instance, a lot of the head covering and no entering during period stuff only takes place in the Catholic faith. I’m a nondenominational Christian, and I never knew they still did a lot of this stuff. The actual Bible never says anything remotely close to having your head covered in church, and the whole bleeding thing was only before Christ, as the concept of being spiritually unclean based upon physical things was nixed by His sacrifice. And the physical aspect of it was a safety precaution, but now that we have modern day technology, there’s no need for that. And as for keeping women surpressesd, idk what church you’re going to but Jesus was actually revolutionary in His teachings to the ancient world (and in the time-transcendent nature of the messages of the Bible, today) to actually honor women equally to men. In fact my church has taught multiple sermons on honoring and valuing women. Might I recommend them? In addition to teaching their sermons in person, they post all of them on YouTube for anyone with access to the platform to see. They’re called Southland Christian Church. And also all that stuff about God not being as good as we thought and the evil one being more innocent, I don’t know where you’re getting that from.

@Ioana9 Well I won’t say my home state, but let’s just say I’m from the Bible Belt. But I’ve never heard of a Christian Church doing that... Southland is the kind of church where they take the Bible seriously, but at the same time, they don’t care if you show up in your pajamas. Or a skirt, sweatpants, muscle shirt, etc.; the preachers preach in a hoodie half the time. But they don’t do any of that stuff you talked about, I think you could benefit from looking them up sometime. Here’s the link:

@Ioana9 Ohh I see. Well in the United States, that’s not a thing Christians normally do. In fact I’ve never heard of that. Sure there are some people who need a bit of help, but the Biblical Christian faith says that honoring women is of utmost importance.

@Ioana9 Oh, no, I’m not irritated at all! And I’m not being sarcastic, either; tone is lost in text, sorry. I live for moments when I get to share with others what the actual teachings of Jesus say. You know I don’t put much stock in the religious “aesthetic,” if you know what I mean. What I’m saying is that anyone can be a Christian, not just your stock society members with done-up hair. I once heard a preacher say that “God’s army will be made of people with Mohawks and nose rings” and I agree with that sentiment wholeheartedly; Christianity is about what’s on the inside. That’s why I love Southland so much. They speak “really.” I know I come off as some kind of a televangelist recommending this church, but believe you me, the reality and clarity and truth and equality and substance that these guys spoke with were essentially the things that brought me to Christ in the first place; they would be worth watching a few sermons from in your spare time in the very least. Also I’m sorry if I came off as irritated, it’s just that time is lost in text I love these kinds of conversations! ;)

@When nothings sacred, there’s nothing to lose Might I also add, one of their staff members is a man with blue hair and black fingernails; not that that matters, that’s the point. That’s this kind of church, but everyone is has on e thing in common. A real, genuine love for Jesus that spills out into real, genuine love for other people. The same kind of love that punk rocker showed your mom; he would be all more than welcome at this church, in fact, they’d be delighted to have him.
