    1. Christian women: Is a man struggling with masturbation a turn off?
    2. Just watched some motivational video that my generation (gen Z) could change the world into way better than it is right now...should I be skeptical? Will this earth never be a good place according to the Christian teachings? Should we only hope for the Heaven and be pessimistic about this world
