    The feel-good (and still very fake and gay) greentexts were always the worst, and largely because of these cringe messages. Implying becoming Christian was the first step. I wouldn’t be surprised if these types of posts are just grassroots conversion attempts from various evangelists.

      I refuse to believe anybody actually reads the Bible. It’s not really laid out in such a way as to be readable, it’s just a bunch of events that ostensibly happened that you’re supposed to gleam some sort of lesson from. It’s really boring actually.

        I’m not a Christian, but I think you’re misunderstanding how “holy” texts are supposed to work. They aren’t designed to be a riveting story, or even to make any sense in order. They’ve been translated so many times that they are a labyrinth of words compared to whatever the original intent was. The only way they function now is like sifting through word salad to find the occasional insightful line that resonates with you.

        That isn’t necessarily bad—it can actually make the kernels of wisdom more impactful when you’ve been using your interpretive brain to get through the rest of it—but the problem lies in people finding meaning or justification in the horrible bits.

        I actually think Jewish scholars have the right idea in a way: they treat the Torah as a story, a mathematical puzzle, and a secret code all at the same time. The wisdom is in the interpretation, not the literalness of it. People are supposed to question it because there is no predefined truth to swallow from it.

        It also jumps around a bunch, with several people telling, supposedly, the same story but it happens differently each time.

        Great point. The idea that a relatively normal person would completely turn their life around just because they read the New Testament is fairly absurd, especially if their issue is depression and not something that’s talked about more directly in the text like how you’re supposed to be compassionate and forgiving instead of hateful. Maybe if you’re already very religious and your old church is always preaching against compassion and forgiveness.

      I’m so full of purpose I don’t even notice the need to masturbate which gnaws at my consciousness every moment, which always sings its endless siren’s song of sin, I go the entire day without paying a single thought to my aching cock which throbs urgently for release by any means. It’s so great bros

    If you’re a Christian and meditate 15 minutes every day, you’re doing it wrong!

    Unsupervised meditation will put your soul at risk of the devil’s temptations!

    Instead, rely on the good old cathomaxxing method: 666

    • 6 hours of mass and prayers
    • 6 hours of work in silence
    • 6 hours of masturbation mixed work and prayers

      All for only $666.66 in a 6 hour online course.

    • echodot@feddit.uk ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      And that still leaves 6 hours to, er, “spend with the kids”.

    Sounds like they just stopped dopamine saturating themselves. If you’re constantly seeking dopamine-producing activities, your receptors straight up stop being able to uptake more dopamine, and I’ve heard that dopamine overproduction can wear out your pituitary gland so that it stops producing enough (this is mostly noted in drug abusers). So there’s a school of thought that bot engaging in dopamine-inducing activities helps you have a healthier baseline where your brain experiences more enjoyment out of regular activities.

    I have only ever encountered these talking points in passing so i have no clue if it’s true.

      It’s overly simplistic. It does help, but it’s more about changing habits and developing new ones.

      • sunflowercowboy@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        True but fasting generally is a system reset. Sugar is essentially in everything and Americans over indulge it, so imagine going your whole life with a way higher tolerance to dopamine due to your diet.

      It’s certainly doesn’t help that AA has a religious component. I think that turns a lot of people off of it.

        which is funny cause the original creator direcrly said the god stuff isnt necessary, you just have to admit you have a problem that you need help fixing

        Also seems to indoctrinate a lot of people if they aren’t turned off from the get-go. IMO it’s predatory.

      Though I’ll admit that secular organisations rarely have the knack for creating the kind of organisation that churches have

      That’s because secular organizations generally aren’t looking to make giant cults that they can coax 10% of their income from

        The churches in my country are fairly humble compared to that …

      Secular organisations do have them, it’s called going to bars, taking up a hobby club, and so on.

      source
      • rumschlumpel@feddit.org ⁨2⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

        ‘going to bars’ doesn’t have organisation and rarely has community, and it encourages problematic drug use which is just about the last thing people like this need. Hobby clubs are much harder to find than churches, and I’d say due to social norms they’re generally not as willing to go into dealing with emotions as churches tend to be. Even if churches are too eager to manipulate you into feeling certain things about certain topics.

        IMO, even a worker’s union would have been a better example than yours, but it’s obviously much more single-topic than a church - they don’t usually get involved in marriages or burials, and they tend to be just as gender-segregated as the trades they represent.
