    The first cause argument

    How is that a non-answer? I don't think actual randomness (as I understand it at least) actually exist, but it seems to me "because the coin flipped" is a valid answer, that's the cause of said event.

    Tennessee sees new step in wave of anti-Trans bills

    Well if it's complete chaos and anarchy I don't think it'd be very neat, but indeed.

    Where are you going to celebrate Christmas?

    I will likely eat good food I make for myself and go to Mass, although I detest the Christmas Mass. It has so many people who show up who you've never seen at the parish before, the large crowd stresses me out. I'll try to go to the earliest one in the morning to avoid it.

    Jesus allows no divorce for his followers why?

    Sacramental marriage has no divorce because it is an image of the Lord Jesus and His Church, and He does not divorce the Church ever. Moreover He also gives His reasoning for it saying: "From the beginning of creation ‘he [God] made them male and female. Because of this a man will leave his...

    Gen Z

    As an early Gen Z member (1996-2000 = early Gen Z I've been told) I think our segment is awesome. I think those younger than me are intolerable. We (early Gen Z), separated 5 or 10 years apart, are not the same as them. I guess some of them are fine.

    Big Mama Said "Hi"

    I was scrolling through an RF thread and my mom saw the site, she said "tell 'em Big Mama says 'hi, and God bless you on your journey.'" Not sure where to put this, journals seemed appropriate. I guess I'll actually journal also. I got up before 5AM, prayed, and ended up cleaning and...

    I don't think we should hide the woman.

    That is in fact how monks interpreted the verse of the Psalms which says: "be angry, and sin not." That is: be angry, zealous, passionate against evil, and don't do it. That the anger rightly directed can go harshly against evil, in fact it is commanded to, mildness does not suffice. The anger...

    Politics and religion, interaction in individuals

    I agree with that fully. The reasoning that Pope St. John Paul II seems to give is practical, and elsewhere the Vatican said: "the existence of the State of Israel and its political options should be envisaged not in a perspective which is in itself religious, but in their reference to the...

    Politics and religion, interaction in individuals

    Ignoring any nuances, all of that is compatible with Zionism as I understand it. For to me it is to say "the state of Israel rightfully exists and should continue to exist." The modern state of Israel has nothing to do with those ideas because it is not the fulfillment of any of it, neither is...

    Balkan Memes

    For some reason Balkan people (and those around the area) are particularly entertaining to me due to my experience with them in my life. The following are a few of my favorite memes concerning them.

    Politics and religion, interaction in individuals

    The government can institute and support public celebrations of Holy days, assist the Church in punishing heretics, and so on. As for which God, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will do. If people disagree about these happenings that's on them. I disagree somewhat with God over His choice to...

    Politics and religion, interaction in individuals

    The state of Israel is not even as old as the Hagia Sophia, there were no views on it at all before the 20th century (and whenever the period of the conception of the idea of it manifested in men). What did you understand to be the traditional view on it?

    Why I often consider myself a loner...

    I have the same approach but on steroids, I don't think it necessarily makes one a loner though and I don't get the connection to fascism. I think even a year or two or three years of knowing someone (unless something great and binding happens in that time, but even then I might not consider it...

    Send Me Your Money

    I am confused as to what you mean. I'll restate: I consider the following idea to be false: "God will not allow me to suffer, and will even give me prosperity, because I sent money in [to a Church, these pastors, etc]." This idea is in my experience prevalent among those who pay the tithe to...

    Politics and religion, interaction in individuals

    It definitely changed me. The first thing it changed was it caused me to accept violence in just wars and self-defense, whereas previously I had a very Tolstoyan idea about violence. Self-defense and just war are moral acts according to God's Law to me, so I judged that I judged incorrectly...

    Send Me Your Money

    For example, that idea that God send suffering and illness to you because you gave money. I have had to individually aid someone who was suffering through the idea that God will not send suffering to you because you did X or are Y, it is immensely damaging to the spiritual life and is contrary...

    Send Me Your Money

    Depends on the Televangelist. The only thing I really care about in it is people who have a false idea of God due to the theology, and the heresies promoted by many of these individuals. That's my opinion on it at least.
