    How many people on here like the movie Inception 2010 with Leonardo DiCaprio?

    I love it and I watched it again recently. The music is really good too.

    Why do believers love God?

    Inasmuch as anything exists it is loved by God, correct. I answer in that vague way because St. Thomas says at one point that to the degree that sinners are sinners they do not exist (and some Fathers say the world isn't fully real yet concerning other things), so this causes me to question the...

    What do you pray for?

    I don't think they are conditional or that we have failed, nothing is new under the Sun says the Preacher. I think it is rather unbecoming for God to fail. Neither do I think that we are insignificant, but rather are the crowning point of creation. Such is my opinion. As for what I pray for, I...

    Everyone voting? The horror!

    IIRC they consistently win the popular vote and the Reds continually have to use voter suppression methods or straight up stealing the vote (Bush v. Gore) in order to stay in, and they are dying as a party. So if literally every single eligible adult could vote I'd expect them to just win. I...

    May he pray for us and may the Good Lord save us by his prayers, amen.

    Everyone voting? The horror!

    Dems would win (???). Country would still be a Hellscape. That's about all I think would happen.

    Israel as Jesus and as Job, Resurrection Equal to Repentance

    St. Theophylact of Ohrid, I should have clarified. Currently I am studying his commentaries which are massively enlightening, I wish more of them were in English. I agree about the not keeping it to ignore the spiritual aspect of it, but essential to keeping it is the Christocentric nature of...

    Why do believers love God?

    Trying to escape pain usually, at least in my experience. Can also be to send a message to someone and a myriad of other things. Who has tried to force you to love God in this thread?

    Why do believers love God?

    Because every being which can choose seeks good for itself in every single choice they make, this requires existence. Not only that but if you really analyze your own will you'll see that it is directly impossible for you to directly will non-existence, even in the act of doing so you're aiming...

    Vegetarian, good for the body 'and' the soul?

    By the time I'm about 70 I should be on your level. I'll catch up eventually!

    Definitely not me. Probably won't ever be me.

    FDA wants 55 years to process FOIA request over vaccine data

    And some wonder why certain folks don't want to receive it. We live in a clown world.

    Why do believers love God?

    They do not exist in my opinion, it is impossible to not want to exist. They just want an end to their pain. I do not see how that is the case, but I suppose that is a fundamental worldview difference.

    What is better conditional level or unconditional?

    I like St. Thomas' answer on whether or not God loves some more than others and I think it is related to this topic: "Since to love a thing is to will it good, in a twofold way anything may be loved more, or less. In one way on the part of the act of the will itself, which is more or less...

    Why do believers love God?

    I think it is proven in every moment. Things exist therefore they are loved by God. To exist is good in itself, willing the good of another is love, therefore as things exist and are preserved in existence they are loved by God. The bottles on the floor in my room are loved, as am I and all...

    Why do believers love God?

    It's not even about the Incarnation for me but simply that we exist. Perhaps the chief reason I think we should honor God by giving out being to Him without reservation is that He made us. This is most like the reason why we should honor our parents (fathers especially) because they made us. It...

    Why do believers love God?

    A, B, and C for me. A is obvious for Christians "God is love" being one of the most famous assertions of Christianity. B is due to the existence and preservation of things, the glorification of the Saints, and so on, and everything concerning the Lord Jesus, which all show that He wills good to...

    Israel as Jesus and as Job, Resurrection Equal to Repentance

    I agree, although this does then ask what keeping the Torah is, for I would say I do it, but in a manner that Christians do. St. Theophylact says in his commentary on St. Matthew's Gospel: "'The way,' that is, the highway, means the Gospel. The 'paths' are the ordinances of the law, which are...

    Madonna, 63, faces backlash over steamy bedroom photo

    Abby Shapiro is just being a snowflake probably inconsistent liberal and her brother is a living meme/ghoul (this is literally the USA look at a billboard "steamy photos" are perpetual here), of course this was an attempt to be relevant (she achieved her aim), yes it is degenerate, I know...
