I really hate these kinds of Christians. I'm a type 1 diabetic. They block stem cell research because "muh religion", taking away any hope I can be cured of this debilitating disease. They are cruel conservative blowhards who vote for people who are against lowering insulin costs and they are vehemently anti universal healthcare. They are the reason why my lifesaving insulin retails for $3,000.00 a MONTH and there is no safety net. Then, they have the fucking gall to say "why isn't insulin free then?!" knowing that people die because of the cost, when it comes to the vaccine. AND THEN, they act like they are VICTIMS, while I'm forced to live under the consequences of their religion usurping our political system, just because they can no longer discriminate freely against gay people or people they don't like (even though they still fight every day to be able to do so). So excuse the FUCK out of me for saying FUCK these people and good goddamn riddance.
Seems like itβs not going away and Iβm getting kind of sick of it. If this keeps up weβre just going to be a Christian version of Iran. I know there isnβt a perfect place to move to but even in many other countries where Christianity is the dominant religion they donβt seem to be out for jihad and complete takeover like they are here.
That's like having your mom post the ugliest photos of you on her facebook for all of your friends and relatives to see

A few years ago Bulgaria and several other League members announced their guarantee of Albania's independence and territorial integrity. It appears the Greeks have forgotten this, so the league asks them to withdraw. They have until the mods give us permission to honour our promise to Albania to withdraw.
And guess what?? In order to get into the show, you must provide either proof of a negative covid test, or vaccination status.
One might think, wtf? the most evil, dark, anti establishment, satanic band requiring a covid test??
Nope, just going along with their master's plan...does it all make sense yet?
I used to sleep around a lot before I got married and had a son. When I say a lot, I mean a lot. I follow a woman on Instagram who posted a photo saying how basically fornication outside of marriage will send me to hell. I have repented from all that Iβve done but idk if thatβs enough. I feel like I have already punished myself enough to by calling myself a whore, trashy, and beating myself up for years over this. I canβt imagine a God who would send me to hell for this. I just feel so lost.
This is something that's always troubled me. Once the game is very late and I'm controlling pretty much everything around the Papal States, what should I do with them? I apparently need to maintain good relations with them so I can maximise my gain of Papal Influence, for the variety of benefits it provides. But to do this (right now) I need to ally them, using up a diplo slot which is annoying at this stage of the game, since I'm over diplo limit with all my vassals that are eating the remaining world and looking to remove diplo slot users where possible.
Is there some way to get rid of them entirely but still have the Papacy mechanic active for free bonuses? That said, even if they hated me I'd be doing ok since I picked up Religious Ideas so I gain a lot of Papal Influence with my endless converting.
This is my current game around the Papal States:

Austria and Commonwealth are both mine under a PU.
I currently have the Papal states allied as I'm finishing off the HRE and don't want them to gain too much AE, plus I'm a hegemon so if I cancel the alliance it may be difficult to return to good relations.
At the moment my plan is to finish off the HRE, Italian states, Sweden and the Livonian Order, then cancel my alliance with the Papal States for that diplo slot back since I reason once everyone around them is gone they won't gain AE from my activities.
But I'd also like... well all of their clay. These are my questions;
Could I just remove the Papal States entirely if I get to the point of being the sole occupier of Europe? What happens if I do?
Should I conquer almost everything, but leave them with Roma to avoid the debuff?
Should I just leave them alone entirely to keep my Papal relations high for maximum Papal Influence?
Is there something sneaky I could do?
Can I vassalise them?
Is there anything I can do BEFORE conquering the remainders of Europe but still keep my relations with them high whilst cancelling the alliance?
Let's get this out of the way: no one should watch Game of Thrones. The ending was so abysmal that it killed any rewatch value for the series. If, for some reason you feel compelled to, only watch the first six seasons and assume it ended there and HBO Max is mistaken when it says there's an additional two seasons.
With that out of the way, the question of "should Christians watch X?" Is a question I grew up hearing in the church.
"Should Christians read Harry Potter?"
"Should Christians listen to Fall Out Boy?" (I'm aware I'm showing my age here.)
"Should Christians read comic books?"
In the clip I saw of Paul and Morgan, they had a guest on who said that she thinks it's a red flag when a (Christian) man she's interested in watches Game of Thrones. This was likely from a few years ago. But, Christians are notoriously behind the times (until Lil Nas X releases a new song, then they're suddenly pop culture savvy) that they could think the show still has relevancy.
I know hypocrisy runs rampant in these circles, so I have to ask, if a Christian isn't supposed to watch a certain show, how is a cringey youth pastor supposed to compare Jesus to Geralt of Rivia?
Telling 30-year-old Christians what they should and shouldn't watch is incredibly infantalizing and really emblematic of how growing up in the church is really nothing more than having your social-emotional development levels be about the same as a preteen.
To the point that, when we left the church, that is when we began to start growing up and it's an ongoing process.
Are you all familiar with the question of "should Christians watch X?" What were some things you were told a Christian wasn't allowed to watch?
