Yes, Christianity brainwashed me.
Now I want to:
- Stay away from drugs
- Stop watching porn
- Stay married to one person
- Forgive and pray for my enemies
- Be more like Jesus
Maybe everyone needs some brainwashing.
Solomon had 700 wives and was still searching for satisfaction… you think what your flesh is chasing after is enough?
Jesus only satisfies.
Your FLESH does NOT care about your ETERNITY because it is NOT going with YOU.
Scientists say they can prove Jesus' resurrection is real
Paolo Di Lazzaro, an Italian physicist and chief researcher at the ENEA Research Centre in Frascati in Italy, spent five years attempting to reproduce the body image seen on the Shroud of Turin.
The relic is believed to be the burial cloth that wrapped Jesus after he died on the cross and is said to bear his image left after the resurrection. Di Lazzaro and his team attempted to recreate the image using powerful ultraviolet lasers.
Researchers fired intense bursts of ultraviolet light at clean linen fabric similar to the shroud, altering the chemical structure of the outer fibers and turning them faintly yellow.
Despite successfully creating small areas of shroud-like discoloration, the team found that recreating the full body image was beyond modern technology.
Their calculations showed that producing a life-sized image would require an enormous burst of ultraviolet energy delivered in an extremely short time, far more than current laser systems can generate.
The findings were recently discussed on the Shaw Ryan Show, where biblical scholar Jeremiah Johnston said Di Lazzaro estimated the process would require extraordinary energy.
He said: 'Paolo told me it would take 34,000 billion watts of energy traveling in one 40th of a billionth of a second to change the chemical makeup of a fine linen shroud to leave that image. 'And he said, "We don't have that power on Earth.'"
Muslim mindset: “I’m fasting, don’t eat in front of me or I might be tempted.”
Christian: practices self-control and doesn’t make a public show of fasting.
Muslim man: sees a woman who isn’t fully covered and says, “Cover yourself or I’ll be tempted.”
Christian man: sees the same thing and says, “I need to guard my heart and discipline my eyes so I don’t sin.”
Christianity deals with the heart. We emphasise self-discipline and self-control. Islam, on the other hand, tries to control the environment instead, asking others to change because the individual hasn’t learned to master himself.
When the heart is truly transformed, temptation loses its power. Self-control means taking responsibility for your own desires, not placing the burden on others. A disciplined heart governs the flesh, not the other way around.
Jesus didn't "want to" go to the cross.
He dreaded it, he cried about it, he prayed for it not to happen. Yet he chose not to stop it.
That's how much he loves you and me.
Why does God even want worship? Isn’t that… needy? I was rewatching The Chosen weeks ago, the scene with the Samaritan woman and that question wouldn’t leave me alone. Jesus says, “The Father is seeking those who will worship Him in spirit and in truth.” It hit me harder than usual. Almost made me teary.
And then an intrusive thought slid in: Why does He care so much about worship?
So I sat with it. And slowly, something started to untangle.
We live in a world obsessed with creators and ownership. Artists sign their paintings. Musicians copyright their songs. Companies defend their patents. Architects protect their signature designs. Not because they’re insecure. Because authorship matters.
We instinctively know that to erase an author’s name from their work is wrong, and to twist their creation beyond recognition is violation.
That clicked for me.
If flawed humans protect the integrity of what they make… how much more would the God who authored galaxies guard His?
Reality itself is His masterpiece. Every law of physics, every spark of beauty, every heartbeat, signed, authored, claimed.
So when Scripture calls God jealous, it’s not describing a fragile deity craving applause. It’s describing a Creator who refuses to let His signature be erased from what He made.
Not insecurity, integrity. Not ego, essence.
He is jealous for us, not of us. Because when creation forgets its Creator, everything breaks. Meaning unravels. Purpose distorts. Worship misfires.
God’s “jealousy” isn’t about Him needing attention. It’s about Him refusing to let us live on lies. He knows that life only works when it aligns with Truth. And He is that Truth.
So when Jesus says the Father is seeking worshipers, it’s not desperation. It’s love. It’s rescue. It’s the God who authored reality inviting us back into alignment with it.
Divine jealousy isn’t proof of God’s weakness. It’s proof of His love. A love that protects. A love that refuses to hand us over to counterfeits. A love that will not let His creation forget who made it.
The universe is a signed masterpiece. Erase the signature, and you erase meaning itself. God refuses to let that happen. That’s where I landed. And honestly? It made me worship more, not less.

Absolute based answer. For Celtics coach Joe Mazzulla, faith always comes before basketball. Unfazed by NBA stardom, he stays grounded through a distinct pre-game tradition: praying the rosary with beads made from the historic Boston Garden floor. Mazzulla consistently points to God as the source of his success, proving that even at the highest level of competition, his spiritual conviction remains his top priority.
