Don't worry, no offense taken, I just thought you were some random noob who I'd never spoken to insulting me lol.

You entered this thread. You gave your take. Back it up. Change your mind if you're wrong. If you didn't come here to see what others have to say about your beliefs, why share them?

Brother, I'm fine with people calling me fat, but who the hell are you? I think I've seen your name like twice ever. Figure you'd at least buy me some peanut butter with butter waffles or ramen before insulting me, smfh.

I recall a shirtless ripped one when I was there years ago.

I'm very glad to know that most "smart" christians don't believe in an absolutely literal interpretation of genesis. Like how do you even justify that?

I know as I struggle with faith, my current position is that I think there's some kind of God and if that God is the Christian God and I keep my heart open I'll find my way to him eventually, I find it really hard to reconcile genuine facts and beliefs I have about the world with what the bible thumpers say. For instance, I have family members who think the earth is like 8000 years old, and I think that's fucking crazy, but if you take genesis completely literally that's the only logical conclusion. And there's a lot of crazy shit that is hard to believe actually happened, like the fact that Noah got EVERY animal on his arc, including every species of insect or whatever. And then there's the beliefs that I have to "These are beliefs of the Church, not God", because I genuinely can't believe in a God that views gay and trans people as abhorrent. Because I simply don't believe that is true, and therefore the idea that God thinks that has to either be wrong or the God can't exist, because I can't believe him to be all good otherwise. Even though my morality isn't what determines if he's all good. The best of both worlds on that point is my aunt who views being gay as a sin, but no more so than drinking or lying. I think that's the only way you can start and reconcile this.

I'm grateful to not be banned (currently)

Currently in Taiwan, so it isn't celebrated, but my program held a dinner at a resteraunt in celebration. It was nice and I had an excuse to dress up, which was fun. I had a burger (American food for Discover America Day), it had deep fried fish on top and a beef patty. It was big and thick, authetnic American expierence.

I literally looked up if this was some kind of copypasta. Also, isn't your story better suited to Edutainment? I haven't read it, but from the premise it sounds like

Taylor tries to steal the pie, though she does so under the condition that if she succeeds she will give her item to the cook and take the pie, eating it herself, since she can no longer heal in battle. Assuming they agree to those terms, she’ll attempt to steal it. (There’s also the chance the pie heals everyone) She’s also very glad that FOR ONCE a skill other than might is being used
