Yeah that's why those exist. Of course that has the extra baggage of Christianity being dominate in Europe so long, and White Europe making themselves synonymous with Christianity.

Funnily enough, Europe is the least religious continent in the world now, with Africa and South America leading the numbers far as Christianity goes.

Of course, you also have White Evengalism in the US and the way it spread its cultural influence all over the globe, so in a way nothing changed, we just rearranged the furniture a bit.

Guys, I need help again, sorry.

You say I am loved, when I don’t feel a thing. You say I am strong, when I think I am weak. You say I am held, when I am falling short.

I had another bout of uncontrollable thoughts, and now I’m feeling the urge to “confirm” them.

You say I am loved, when I don’t feel a thing. You say I am strong, when I think I am weak. You say I am held, when I am falling short.

Yes.

You say I am loved, when I don’t feel a thing. You say I am strong, when I think I am weak. You say I am held, when I am falling short.

Stinks. I'd say to tell whoever is treating you for it, but treatment can only do so much? Remember that it's your brain glitching and not you.

I’m talking with one of the pastors at my church and have sent a message to my MD. I’m going to beat it this time.

You say I am loved, when I don’t feel a thing. You say I am strong, when I think I am weak. You say I am held, when I am falling short.

I have a lot of trouble with anxiety, so my trick for when my brain starts cooking up stupid shit to scare me with is to personify the thoughts into something I can easily dismiss.

In my case it's a noisy, stupid parrot called Captain Paranoia. He says the stupidest shit. But he doesn't understand what he says. He just repeats shit. Because he's a parrot.

[up] That might actually work for some moments, and I might try it. But part of OCD is that it tricks you into thinking these are your thoughts.

You say I am loved, when I don’t feel a thing. You say I am strong, when I think I am weak. You say I am held, when I am falling short.

"Do not boast about tomorrow, for you do not know what a day may bring."

Proverbs 27:1 NIV

This verse came up to me regarding not just with the election, but in everyday application. We can never be truly certain on what tomorrow brings, lets just wait and hope and pray.

Hey Christian tropers. I assume the American Christian Tropers have heard about Biden winning? Must be nice to have an actual religious person and not a charlatan now right?

He's an Irish Catholic, and in no way comparable to Trump besides being an old white guy.

I have seen tons of cultural Catholics. Although the difference is that Trump is a cultural Protestant.
