    Without Jesus Creation Isn’t Possible IMO

    I have a degree of sympathy for Protestants in that not all Catholic/Orthodox doctrines are explicitly spelled out in Scripture, but I have no patience for Muslims, Baha'is and others who seek to convince Christians that the Church failed to understand the very books it canonized as inspired...

    Question for Catholics on ordination

    Clerical celibacy is hardly new. The difference is that unlike celibacy, the male only priesthood is considered a dogma of the Catholic faith. None of the ancient churches allow female ordination. They never will.

    Question for Catholics on ordination

    The simple answer is tradition. The Church is meant to be the custodian of sacred tradition. And that tradition has never allowed for female clergy.

    AI chatbot shows promise in talking people out of conspiracy theories

    The AI is an establishment shill.

    Drop bears are the reason I lock my doors at night.

    I'm Leaving

    I'll have you know that the death adder in my backyard and I are on amical terms. No murderous intent on either side.

    I'm Leaving

    @Rival You're among the few posters I enjoy reading here but I understand your decision. I'm only intermittently active here for similar reasons. All the best.

    Russia threatens to turn Kyiv into a "giant melted spot"

    I expect Putin to trip over and land on a magazine's worth of bullets long before Russia launches nukes. The Russian elites and top military brass are not going to allow a nuclear war for the sake of Putin's nostalgic land grab. They may be scared of Putin, but I doubt they're willing to die in...

    Christian sects with belief in reincarnation

    I'm actually sympathetic to the possibility of reincarnation being real, but the narrative pushed by the OP annoys me. (Christianity as a conspiracy theory). The claim that early Christianity taught [insert eastern religion] until Constantine/Nicaea used the state to remake the religion is a...

    Why is the modern world so dam hostile ?

    There's no such thing as utopia but the modern world is pretty awesome compared to even the relatively recent past. The fact that you can post inane threads on the internet; communicating instantly with people from all over the world is itself a technological marvel that would have been near...

    If God has free-will, then he's less likely to be attached to any single religion

    To be frank, I've come to question if God has had much to do with any religion.

    Posting on the Internet

    In the multitude of words there shall not want sin: but he that refraineth his lips is most wise. Proverbs 10:19 What good does it do to speak learnedly about the Trinity if, lacking humility, you displease the Trinity? The Imitation of Christ - Thomas à Kempis There is much I have come to...

    The Division in Christianity

    I think some religions are more credible than others. But in any case, I have no pretentions of being able to "prove" Catholic Christianity, especially in a culture predisposed to reject it. I myself have struggled with faith (still do) but I think there's real truth to Christianity's claims...

    Those of you who read the whole of the bible, what did you gain from all the genealogies...?

    I don't think it's impious to admit that certain parts of the Bible make for some rather dry reading. But it's silly to expect modern standards of entertainment value on what is an anthology of ancient texts. The Bible is meant to be studied and prayed, not read as a novel.

    Why do men and women have children by accident ?

    This may sound harsh, but if that knowledge hurts your feelings, then you need to grow up.

    Is it smart to claim "my Religion is superior"?

    Christianity at its core is neither a religious philosophy nor a school of thought. Christianity at its core is a historical claim: a claim of divine revelation. That a little over two millennia ago the one and only deity became a man and paid the penalty of sin on our behalf. This claim upsets...

    Why do christianity get so much hate?

    Secular progressivism is the predominate faith of this site's userbase. It's to be expected.

    Is it smart to claim "my Religion is superior"?

    I don't think all religions are equally true or valid.

    Jesus thought polygamy is OK!

    That question had nothing to do with polygamy.

    Jesus thought polygamy is OK!

    Jesus always speaks of a man's wife in the singular and references Adam and Eve as the primordial marriage. The implication being that monogamy is what God intended. Polygamy was never so much permitted as rather overlooked.
