Pastors in media: solemn, conservative, take their job way to seriously
The pastors at the last two churches I’ve been to: screams water puns while waving a plastic shovel , throws dirt on the ground to make a point, uses shrek for a sermon at least 3 times, casually snacks on the communion bread during service , has sermon titles such as ‘shit happens’ and ‘does god take selfies?’
Hope for God
When was the first time you realized that there is a higher being than yourself?

What is Spiritual Warfare and how to overcome it with the help of God?
• Spiritual warfare is the idea that there's a battle going on between good and evil forces. In Christianity, this means a fight between God and His angels against the devil and his demons. It mainly happens in our minds, hearts, and spirits. It’s about resisting bad thoughts, temptations, and influences that go against what God wants for us. Though we believe that Jesus has indeed already defeated Satan by dying on the cross and coming back to life, the enemy still tries to lead us to sin in order to push us away from God, thus spiritual warfare.
• “Symptoms” vary since the devil attacks you where it hurts the most, to make you as vulnerable as possible; but here are some of the most common ones:
- believing that your not worthy of having a relationship with God or talking to God therefore feeling the need to distance yourself from him
-self destructive / sabotage / harm temptations
-paranoia / overthinking
-strong headaches / body aches
-temptations towards sin such as lust, gluttony, laziness, anger.. etc, depends on your weaknesses
-self hatred & self doubt / doubt in faithfulness
-hopelessness, fear, anxiety
-random depressive moods & replaying bad memories … the list goes on!
• Living a life more aligned with God’s will is seen as a threat to Satan and his purposes, leading to increased attempts to discourage or derail one’s faith journey. With a deeper relationship with God often comes a greater sense of purpose and mission, attracting more challenges and obstacles from evil forces trying to prevent one from fulfilling God’s plans. Our Father allows these intensified battles to refine and strengthen our faith, helping us rely more on Him and grow spiritually.

Oh,,, well I'm.... eheeheehhh.......... Ughhhh..... Ahhhh ....... I dunno how the truth happened, I was already fine with Pruina until something came to me and and and a and an.......
His name is Mai and and andnsdsndnnand It's more secondary, I don't want to give so much importance to a self-insert..... Mai was part of Vanguards but we already know what happened— I still can't decide if her Atma Avatar will be Svaha or Soma/Chandra, I have the design but I'm embarrassed to show it (it doesn't convince me at all, Pruina's one left me with a very high bar)
Mai is the most socially anxious n autistic thing I ever done, and his dynamic with Heat is like "D': / >:P"
Ma has no self-esteem, he feels a strange masochistic "attraction" for Heat (Mai, please, love yourself a little)
Enemies to Lovers be like:333333

The Psychology of Atheism & Agnosticism
By Author Eli Kittim
Atheism is the position that there’s no God. According to Bart Ehrman, a renowned Bible scholar, atheism is a *belief system.* It has absolutely nothing to do with scientific evidence or empirical knowledge. It’s as much a belief as Theism.
Agnosticism, on the other hand, is the view that the existence of God is unknown or unknowable. According to the biologist Thomas Henry Huxley, who coined the term agnostic in 1869:
It simply means that a man shall not say he
knows or believes that which he has no
scientific grounds for professing to know or
believe.
In other words, whereas explicit atheism refers to “the absence of theistic belief,” agnosticism refers to an *absence* of knowledge. In the former case, an individual refuses to believe in the existence of God. In the latter, the person doesn’t know whether or not God exists. In either case, the person refuses to acknowledge or accept the existence of God, let alone God’s revelation (aka the Bible).
The common thread among atheists and agnostics is their *continual denial* of any evidence for the existence of God (e.g. the cosmological or ontological arguments). I’m particularly interested in the psychological *causes* (rather than the philosophical arguments) of militant atheism, which denote a defiant and persistent rejection of God. To present a valid argument against God’s existence is one thing. But the need to reject God’s existence at all costs is quite another. So, what is the prime motivating factor underlying this psychological repudiation?
Answer: 2 Corinthians 4.4 (NLT):
Satan, who is the god of this world, has
blinded the minds of those who don’t
believe. They are unable to see the glorious
light of the Good News. They don’t
understand this message about the glory of
Christ, who is the exact likeness of God.
