Atheist here.

I don’t hate Christianity at all (most of my family and friends are Christians), but there are aspects of it I strongly disagree with.

I struggle to accept claims about God, miracles, the resurrection, heaven, and hell without evidence that I find convincing. I find the idea of eternal punishment (especially punishment for disbelief) morally troubling. I also question religious authority influencing laws that affect people who don’t share those beliefs.

And one of my biggest questions remains: if God is all-powerful, all-knowing, and perfectly good, why is there so much (apparently pointless) suffering?

So I’d genuinely like to have a conversation about this. If you’re a Christian and think I’m misunderstanding something, tell me why. If you disagree with any of my points, challenge them. Ask me questions, give me your perspective, and let me ask you questions in return.

I’m not interested in insults or trying to “win”. I’m interested in an open, respectful conversation between people who see the world differently.

So, Christians: what do you think I’m getting wrong?

Hey, guys!

I'm looking for recommendations for a proper waterproof headlamp, ideally rated IP68.

I’ll be using it for fishing, hiking/running in heavy rain, camping, and general outdoor use, so I need something that can genuinely handle getting soaked rather than just being “splash resistant.”

Ideally looking for:

• IP68 waterproof rating
• Red light mode if possible
• Good brightness + decent battery life
• Comfortable enough for running/hiking
• Durable and reliable for outdoor use

Rechargeable would be a bonus, but I’m open to anything that’s proven reliable.

What headlamps have you actually used and would recommend?

I'm curious because Greek yogurt is strained and generally lower in lactose than regular yogurt. If you're lactose intolerant, can you tolerate 0% Greek yogurt?

For me, if it does affect me, the symptoms don't show up immediately. About 15–20 hours later, I get diarrhea and my gut becomes really sensitive, and it can stay that way for a few days.

• What brand do you eat?
• How much can you have before you notice symptoms?
• Do your symptoms happen right away, or are they delayed like mine?
• What symptoms do you get (if any)?

I'd love to hear your personal experiences.

Let me know if you agree with this list/guide below:

Polo Green

The original Polo fragrance. Rich, woody, and unmistakably classic with pine, leather, tobacco, and oakmoss. Best suited for cooler weather and more formal occasions.

Polo Blue EDT

A clean, fresh aquatic fragrance with melon and cucumber. Easy to wear, versatile, and a safe everyday choice.

Polo Blue Parfum

A more refined version of Polo Blue. It keeps the freshness but adds deeper woods and better longevity, making it suitable from day to evening.

Polo Black

Smooth and slightly sweet with mango, patchouli, and sandalwood. Great for evenings, dates, or whenever you want something a little more dressed up.

Polo Red EDT

Bright and energetic with citrus, cranberry, and saffron. Youthful, sporty, and easy to wear.

Polo Red EDP

A richer take on the original Red. Warmer, spicier, and better suited to evenings and colder months.

Polo Cologne Intense

Fresh herbs, mint, grapefruit, and vetiver give it a clean, modern barbershop feel. One of the more underrated fragrances in the Polo lineup.

Polo 67 EDP

The newest addition to the collection. Fresh citrus, pineapple, and cedar create a modern, versatile scent that works especially well in warmer weather.

Cheers,

I placed an online order and paid with my debit card. The next day, I cancelled the order and requested a refund via email. The merchant told me that the refund would take 4–10 business days, but it has now been about two weeks and I still have not received my money. They keep giving me the same timeframe of 4-10 business days every time that passes.

Because the refund was delayed beyond the promised timeframe, I filed a chargeback/dispute with my bank to recover the payment.

After learning that I had filed the dispute, the merchant threatened to report me to the authorities or sue me for defamation, claiming that my actions were damaging their reputation.

My position is that I only exercised my legal right to dispute a transaction after my order was cancelled and the refund was not processed within the promised time. I have kept records of the cancellation and my communications with the merchant.

Is twisting/rotating a piercing essential? Is it optional or mandatory?
