Hazbin Hotel: Christianity slams vs My Defense

Let's get one thing straight first: I'm a fan of the show. It has an awesome person with my own sexuality in the cast (Alastor). It's not a constant string of dark humor and cussing and actually has a well concocted story with well built characters, unlike south park and family guy.

Of course...I am a christian. I've seen so people react to this that say "This is why Christianity is awful!" Ah ha ha...

I feel like I need to defend myself.

Yes, some branches of Christianity are very bigoted, strict, bias, and just horrible. I don't like associating with those people.

First of all: I'm protestant.

There's catholic and protestant.

Catholic believe in the trinity, and strict following of the bible and church going, of course they also believe the pope is someone who's word is god send, and do whatever their priests say will absolve them of their sins and get them and get them into heaven.

Protestants formed because they believed that people don't have the right to judge or absolve us, only god has that power. They are more believers of following religion and being devout on your own terms, that's why everyone has their own bible to read. Praying is more select and can be done whenever, anything to connect us to god.

Now for the sub branch, as some sub-branches of Protestantism are still pretty strict (I'm looking at you, 'god-fearing baptists')

My branch is called 'the United,' formed when several branches merged into one church. It's mainly Presbyterianism with some stuff added on, I still think Presbyterianism can be a bit strict, that's why I like my branch so much.

My branch considers you apart of the community even if you don't go to church all the time. They won't be mad at you if you don't go to sermons. You're allowed to pray at your own leisure and your own preference, I usually just give a dinner prayer every night.

They like it when you ask questions, because our main teaching is that the bible is interpretive. It was written a long time ago by people who had different views than we do today.

Our branch is super accepting of others, we don't even discuss the prospect of going to hell, so I'm starting to think we don't believe in it. If one is suffering, we don't blame them for their own suffering, we teach them god will still be there for them in their darkest moments.

Yes, my church is called the trinity, but I'm not sure how much we believe in it as we don't talk about it much. I grew up thinking Jesus was just God's son, like a demigod. Yeah, Jesus saved us, but we were taught he saved us from the strict society at the time who would kill people for the slightest moral wrong.

I grew up thinking the devil had nothing to do with the fall of man and it was just a snake being a jerk. I grew up thinking the devil and Satan worked for god to test people's faith and thus were not bad.

We don't uphold all the sacraments, just the bread and "wine" and Communion, not to mention baptism (it's not to save us from sin, it's to welcome us into the church. We don't believe in original sin).

My branch is about unconditional love and acceptance, taking religion in your own stride. We are taught to be a good person, that's all that matters. The commandments are an important lesson, (i.e. don't kill, don't steal, no adultery, don't lie, respect your parents and authority, ex).

Yeah my church upheld COVID laws, but that's because they didn't want their congregation getting sick. My mom and dad are pissy about it because they're anti government. I still have faith in them though.

TL;DR, People in the Hazbin hotel community say Christianity is the worst and full of bigoted, bias hypocrites. Don't hate on me please, because my church does preach unconditional love and acceptance.

How to get out from being assaulted!!

(ongoing post, please repost and like so it reaches more people.)

First of all, and the most important thing: never, NEVER turn your back on the attacker. Face them at all times and keep your eyes on them so you can see what they're doing.

Facing eachother, there's a possibility the attacker wraps their hands around your neck and tries to choke you. The most effective way to get out of the grip would be to, as quickly and sharply as possible, shove their hands away by the wrists. For it to work, you have to pair it with a knee to their crotch, both things at the same time. Especially if the attacker is a man, he'll double over in pain, so it's better to slightly lean back, to avoid getting hit with his head.

While they're distracted by the pain, you can either run away if you're able to, or hit them further. Grab their arm by the wrist, and make sure to push them back while you're kick them. They'll be too occupied with avoiding stumbling down to try to attack you again.

This video shows the defense, and also explains different techniques. Only four minutes, so it's worth a watch

Worst case situation: you fall down, or end up on the ground for whatever reason, while they're standing up. What you should do is thrash around as much as you can, make yourself as inconvenient as possible. Imagine how difficult is to pick up a child who's just trying to kick you when you approach.

When the attacker realises they won't be able to avoid you kicking them, they'll try to find another way. You'll have to spin on your back so they cannot find a way in no matter what. Keep note that you shouldn't keep your whole back on the ground, as it reduces mobility. Incorporate slightly.

If you're lucky, they'll give up at some point cause you suppose too much of a problem. If they don't, keep thrashing until you find a moment to stand up. Especially when you're standing up, don't turn your back on them.

Even worse case situation: they manage to pin you down, they're between your legs. To try anything, they'll grab you by the hips, and that leaves your legs free. Put one foot to their hip and use it as support/leverage to kick their face with your other foot. Extend your leg as much as possible during the kick so it does more damage.

When the kick pushes them away, quickly stand up, again not turning your back on them. You should be up on your foot before them. Just like before, you can hit them further or run away if you can.

Disclaimer: this of course won't apply to all situations. This post would be useful considering the attacker is only one person and unarmed. Even then, it's always good to have a certain knowledge of the basics.

The whole post is about krav maga techniques, a martial art mostly directed to women and guards. If you're a woman and thinking about picking up a sport, try it up. It's easy to find a bunch of tutorials or courses

Choosing the right concealed carry firearm is essential for personal and home defense. The best options balance reliability, ease of use, and stopping power. Whether you’re a first-time gun owner or an experienced shooter, finding the right fit can enhance your safety and confidence.

[wakingupmyself]

Sometimes I try to figure out if I am so developed as a person that I am quite balanced and resistant to pain, suffering, and things I can't change. Or am I just numb? I do care, but I do understand that other people's suffering is not mine and there are things I can't change so I accept them.

Always remain aware, no matter how comfortable your surroundings may be.

In his review of the Springfield Armory SAINT Victor 5.56mm Pistol, Dr. Will Dabbs evaluates the AR-style pistol's versatility and quality, highlighting its appeal for home defense and recreational use. The pistol, known for flexibility and high-quality craftsmanship typical of Springfield Armory, features a compact and maneuverable design with an 11.5” barrel reminiscent of the XM177E2 carbine, offering a balance between portability and performance. Notably, the pistol employs an SB Tactical SBA3 pistol-stabilizing brace and feeds from standard AR-pattern magazines, coming equipped with a 30-round Magpul PMAG. With its advanced features, including Springfield's Accu-Tite wedge system and nickel boron-coated trigger group, the firearm demonstrates superior handling and accuracy. Dr. Dabbs’ review accentuates its enjoyment factor and ergonomic design, making the SAINT Victor a commendable choice for gun enthusiasts accustomed to traditional rifles.
