It doesn't break faith in the protestant end of Christianity, it just counts as a bad thing that can't be taken back.
I dated a Muslim once... I guess i should have asked more questions.
Muslims do have a heaven-like thing, and it is largely based on being faithful, but god is great, and it is mostly based on whether or not he finds it in himself to treat you well
Theoretically being faithful should cause god to judge you righteous
but I think Islam is very big on the completely and utter sovereignty thing
The woman I dated was much of the opinion that everything that happened, including her falling in love with an atheist like me, was Allah's will
Very big on the complete and utter sovereignty thing. That said, she sounds like a ~~heretic~~ some sort of person who isn't completely right on their dogma
She wasn't strict in a lot of regards.
For example she didn't really go to mosque, and had sex outside of marriage despite living in Malaysia, where Muslims are more strict than say the western world
But she still wouldn't eat pork, yet would drink alcohol
I've dated people from Malaysia, the US, the Netherlands and Australia. Perhaps I'm subconsciously ticking off a list.
Oh, and Czechoslovakia
I once worked for a Muslim, probably the only time I have actually experienced genuine sexism, was an interesting experience
Muslim men do tend to have quite low views of women. One of the only occasions I agree with feminism on sexism, not that they focus on it like, at all
By sexism I mean directed at me specifically
To be against Muslims would be sexism
:/
Racism***
He was an ass, I didn’t like him at all
The thing is, I think feminism has bought into the racism thing so much they are completely blind to the attitude other cultures (such as Islam) hold against women in general
Sexism against women hardly exists in the western world. If they really wanted to fight against it then they'd aim their view toward other cultures
What do you think regarding that @Abbysol?
Yeah, I agree, it was annoying, because I get social anxiety I preferred being up the back stocking the alcohol, the boxes where never that heavy but women don’t lift, so he got the scrawny 15 yo high school boys to do it, that annoyed me especially when I was already half way through the job, he would legit come out with one of the boys and tell me I couldn’t do that xD
Not like I was doing groundskeeping before that job or anything
Oof, yea, not like you could do it! Noooo, women are all fragile little things who can't do Fuck all >.<
It's confusing how feminists rotate from basically that opinion and insisting that women are strong, independant, and don't need no man
Like ummm... Pick one
@InsaneCaterpilla I suffer with ideation very frequently but i don't think legalising it would make me want to do it any more or less. For me it's more about the current dread and weight of life. Some days I'm ok some days it's just a constant level of hopelessness, dread and regret. I think opting out would still feel as shameful. Although part of me wonders if there were "suicide pods" or whatever maybe there would be enough change in the conversation.
That being said i agree with a right to sue for the terminally ill but i think it shouldn't be extended to mental health
Ideation? I suffer from depression too
Well half the time I have "flashes" that I can't control where I watch myself do it. But other days it's more voluntary to think about.
Dying isn't a bad thing. I think it's a hurdle to overcome. It always happens, when doesn't matter
I'm half playing devils advocate rn
That's fair. I know there are definitely arguments for it but I think that's a Pandoras box is rather not open. I just focus on silly things like survival skills and prepping. It's a good way to remind yourself that you actually do want to live. Plus zombies are a never ending genre
That's what I meant before by saying it makes you more open to talking about death with others. Make it something not taboo and people will feel comfortable doing it.
Did you see the video of the woman at dignitas?
No
I think it should be in place for people who are terminally ill or in constant medical pain, however I think to get approved you need to have lead up sessions is a psychiatrist and they are the ones who get the final say.
She's a hilarious old lady who just ate a bunch of chocolate as she fell asleep
What a great way to go. Eat awesome chocolate and sleep
@Abbysol the problem with assuming that someone wants to die must mean they have a mental disorder, is that it's completely untrue
Life is hard
