I don't fear death and my faith is strong.
When you truly realize everything in life is a miracle that it actually works and how, you will believe in God.
"So, What Do You Do for Fun?"
She asks it casually, mid-sip. And you feel the floor open up, because the honest answer is work, gym, and a couple shows you're half-watching.
Women rarely say this out loud, but a man with a life is attractive before he says a word. The guy who spent Saturday deep-sea fishing and came back with photos and a story — he walks in already interesting.
The "22 Rules" pushed me to build a life worth talking about. Turns out the fastest way to be interesting to women is to be interested in your own life first.
Even the Bible warned us, Proverb 31

"I just moved here from Florida."
That sentence contains at least five follow-up questions she WANTS you to ask. Where in Florida? What brought you here? How long have you been in the area? What do you miss? How does it compare to here?
She handed them to you on a silver platter. And you said, "Oh cool. I come here every week. I love this band. Ummm... pretty crowded tonight."
She smiled politely. Nodded. And never texted you back.
I was that guy for years. Talking too much. Listening too little. Panicking about my next sentence while she was literally feeding me the answers.
Then I found 22 rules that fixed the whole thing. Rule number one: shut up and listen. She'll tell you exactly what to say.
Not really.
Didn't a man's sperm begin our life in the womb by putting us there?
If there is no God then how did the first baby survive, who cared for it and where did it come from? I'm seriously asking i cant figure it out.

As you guys know, I have been seeing a woman who has been giving me virtually zero problems for a solid year now, and I've mentioned our similar faith as being a prime reason.
When one gets their spiritual life in order, life is no longer meaningless (just like Solomon discovered and wrote about so many years ago). Chasing after the P is a complete exercise in dissipation and futility. It gives a man a temporary rush of power, and that's about it. The key word is temporary. It breeds emptiness, and I'm sure a lot of guys on this site experience that emptiness.

And yet you just happen to subscribe to a religion that promises eternal life. The luck! Gods be good!

You express "knowledge" that there is no heaven or hell, and you express "knowledge" about what a creator would value.
I would submit that you have no such knowledge at all (you are merely speculating in a way that makes you feel comfortable), and that your position is based on faith just as much as a Christian's position.

"Why Women Dump the Guys Who Try the Hardest"
You paid for dinner. You drove. You said "whatever you want is fine" every single time. All the effort, no expectations.
And she left anyway — probably for a guy who makes her pick up the pizza.
Painful. Also predictable. Her mind quietly concludes that anything requiring zero effort from her is worth exactly zero. You became a free sample, and free samples get taken for granted.
The 22 Rules flip the dynamic. Small shifts that get her investing effort, money, and time in you — until SHE'S the one afraid of losing YOU.
What religion? I never mentioned a religion. Religion is different from faith.
With all due respect im not here to argue God. I'm good. Not trying to sway or be swayed.
No one bullies me into anything.
Religions are set by men they aren't the same as faith in the creator. And most men in this life are lacking.
Either way I'm good on faith and not here to sway or be swayed. All is good
I dont care if someone worships a rock. Not my business.

For his invisible attributes, namely, his eternal power and divine nature, have been clearly perceived, ever since the creation of the world, in the things that have been made. So they are without excuse. - ESV
Sorry, you lose...only fools say, "there is no God".

We have proof that you are an obnoxious know-it-all who tries to tell other people what to believe, which is typical for an Atheist.
"She Wants a Man, Not a Boy"
You asked her if she wanted to grab coffee. Then you asked if the time worked. Then you asked if the place was okay. Then you asked if she'd prefer tea.
Four questions. Four chances for her to say no. Four signals that you're terrified of making a decision.
Plan it. Pick the place. Pick the time. Tell her where to meet you. She'll either show up or she won't.
Either way, you look like a man instead of a scared little boy.

Does it turn women on when you whine about your childhood and use it as an excuse to be obnoxious to people you have never met? Because that smells like pvssy repellent to me.

Good for you for quitting smoking, or whatever nicotine you use. I quit a long time ago. I bought a pack of menthol mini-cigars and told myself I could have all I wanted if I just smoked those and nothing else. I never made it through the first pack.

Humans are pretty simple creatures. We've been telling the same stories since the dawn of time. The meanings are pretty simple.
What's the "message" from the garden of eden story?
Do what you're told, or else.
Imagine an early leader of a small farming community. Everybody's got to bust their arse all day working. So they complain. They say "why do we have to work so hard? Why can't we laze around like the animals?"
So he tells the garden of eden story. What does it do?
We humans had it easy, but we were disobedient, and so we've got to work hard.
What's the deeper meaning?
Do what you're told, or else. It also presupposes that the story teller is somehow connected to the original authority, as ancient leaders were thought to be (King = God),
This is why stories like these have been told and retold for thousands of years. They WORK. They keep the social order, and keep the riff raff from getting uppity.

The Bible also tells you to go no contact after your BPD has discarded you.

Sorry dude, but some of it is a direct quote from Christ.. esp. books of Matthew, Mark and Luke. Find a Bible in which the words Jesus Christ spoke are printed in Red.
If the apostle Paul can be saved after the damaging words he gave during his life, anyone can. He became one of the Disciples.
"She's Out of Your League"
You've said it a hundred times. Maybe a thousand. And every time you say it, you train your brain to freeze the next time she walks into the room.
Leagues are a myth invented by guys who are scared of women.
She's a person. She has bad breath in the morning. She picks songs she can't sing in the shower. She overthinks her own texts.
Walk over. Say something. The league dissolves the second you open your mouth.

This is proverbs chapter 31(I know my bible)
Proverbs 31 is a teaching that king Solomon is passing on as wisdom other that was once taught to him.
This is roughly 1000 years before Jesus was born so no its not a direct quote. Hell its not even a direct quote from Solomon its third hand knowledge passed on
.
If its not in red or not from the LORD its useful info but not the word of god

I'm not a Christian but there are a lot of good versus in the Bible. The OP's #2 is another good one I had not yet seen.
My daughter (14) and I just had a talk about Mary. She is trying to figure her religious beliefs out on her own. I am agnostic and her mother is a Christian. My daughter asked me how Jesus could be the son of God, how the sexual intercourse went down. I said "Jesus is not the son of God, Mary fvcked one or more of the wise men behind Joseph's back". My daughter said "yeah duhh that makes the most sense, i think I will go with that". Who really knows the true answer, I'm only going with what is the most logical to me. Women cheat now, they cheated back then, and they will continue to cheat until the end of Earth.

Jesus was allegedly crucified in AD 0. The first gospel or the epistles weren't written for 30 years after that. That's sixty years of "word of mouth" between the Virgin Mary story and when pen was put to paper.
I see as more metaphorical, archetype than anything else.
Plus, the idea of a virgin birth isn't original to Christianity.

"Stop Asking Your Friends What to Text Her"
Your buddy Dave has been single for three years and thinks "hey u up" is a valid strategy. Your other buddy Mike just got dumped and told you to "just be yourself."
You showed them her text. You asked them to decode the emoji. You drafted four responses and sent the screenshot to the group chat for a vote.
She's been waiting forty minutes.
Put the phone down. Stop crowdsourcing your love life. Type something that sounds like you. Hit send. Then go do literally anything else with your evening.
