You or @vhozonian?

He's talking about me.

Ah, bother.

Well, I shall pray for you.

Thanks, I guess.

I'm agnostic, but I still defend Catholic Christianity, despise degenerancy and barbaric/superstitious religions.

Agnostic theist?

I thought most theists were agnostic?

Unless they absolutely know God exist.

Faith is the evidence of things not seen

So agnostic then?

Or should the theist be convinced rather than have the knowledge?

What do you mean by that?

hey guys I haven't really chatted in the server for a while but these past two weeks have been insane. My sister (now claiming to be a man) came out as transgender over the phone after my mom accidentally got a text from my sister's partner (who is also transgender) saying to my sister: "Did Planned Parenthood get back to you yet?"... my mom called my sister the morning after asking what that text was about and she came out as trans to my mom over the phone like making a big deal out of it and stuff. She was going to get male hormones from a government clinic. My mom was crying and my dad just looked so disappointed. She is their only daughter. I don't even know what to think anymore. my brother and I are just so sad honestly

sorry to interrupt the conversation btw

There is no knowledge but scripture, what seperates the man of faith from the agnostic is finding adequacy in that and God

Also damn

Yeah that's messed up

Yeah I really dont know what to add except damn

Sometimes I worry for my brother's future

He is still young and can be manipulated by these people

my sister was indoctrinated at a private university honestly

Gosh I don't even know what to do

like for future family holidays i dont even know if they are going to be allowed at the house

If it's at that point I dont know what else you can do

Yes, did she suffer abuse as a child? Any history of mental illness?

Yeah, higher education is cancer

no my parents gave everything to her and i think that was part of the problem

Oh a spoiled child then.

yeah honestly

You don't even need abuse or a history of mental illness for them to infect you, anything less than a robust moral upbringing makes you vulnerable, and even then nothing is foolproof at that stage

When you have an institution of PHDs telling you something, it's easy to believe it, no matter how wrong

it's just honestly the fact that we had unregulated internet, i know she would look at degenerate stuff when she was younger. She is 6 years older than me

she was gay before the trans thing

and she married quite young to her first partner and i dont know it is just such a messed up situation

they are just straight up LGBTQ+ liberals, valiant atheists

These are fucked up times we live in

indeed I love her, I do pray for her but it is frustrated because, the entirety of my childhood I have been at odds with her.. and that is part of the reason why I am certainly Catholic.. having to develop arguments against atheism among other things at such a young age stirred my heart toward tradition i dont know

Don't know what else to say.

there is somewhat of an uncertain future for my family because like i said I don't know if my sister and her partner will be allowed at the house anymore idk. My parents seem to be fed up with them and their lack of focus/ambition for the time being. I am just now going into college and I don't think I'm going to have much of a relationship with them any more, it really hurts me to think about that though.

sorry for laying this stuff in <#435520935647248414> idk but there are very few people i know that would understand how i'm feeling about all of this and y'all are genuinely Christian
