Hey y’all. I’m in a precarious situation right now. Yes, I am falling in love with someone and I want to approach this in a faithful way. My previous relationships included me putting the other person above everything basically, but I want to put God in the first place this time. It’s probably healthier this way. Any Christian books about phenomenology of love or falling in love that you know of?

      I think they’re trying to say that god isn’t real and is just a boogey man to scare people into behaving in certain ways.

        So, God not being real is the reason he’s being a dick to religious people for no reason? I’ll stick to God then so I don’t do the same

          Where am I being a dick to religious people? I was posing a possible answer to your question. I did not even downvote your post.

          I think it’s more nuanced than that. Religionists are pushing their beliefs on other people on many fronts. (Not you, per se.) It’s been happening for thousands of years, and non-believers are tired of it.

          Stumbling into a true believer in an otherwise very secular online forum (Lemmy) is a painful reminder that true believers exist and support the machine.
