posts go here Thread Rules: 1) Don't be an rear end in a top hat 2) No abortion chat. Grand Fromage posted:So this thread generates the vast majority of the reports in A/T and I've been thinking about how to handle it. I was inclined to gas and ban the thread entirely but have changed my mind. mod edit: We're currently talking about the directoin for this thread. I'm using the space below as a holding pen for good ideas. If you think I've missed something bring it to my attention. Fritz the Horse posted:1) No abortion chat. Period. Paladinus posted:What I would add to OP is a reminder that people in the thread are mostly just ordinary lay people to set correct expectations. Cythereal posted:
Nessus posted:I think the "this is a space where you can believe in a religion without irony or apology" factor is a real big thing here and might be a good thing to enshrine in a future OP. I don't know how to distill it exactly, but the idea is, people believe (in general) in this thread - YOU PERSONALLY don't have to, but you ought to accept that they do, and take them at their word without calling them idiots or fascism-enablers or anti-rationalists etc if you're going to post.

I can't dislike pretty churches even with the fact that I'm not a very visual person and usually prefer plainness. There is a love for God and a desire to be inspired to beauty that just speaks to me in them.

Hmm, I don't like brutalism, but I *do* like places that look like the settings for a post-apocalypse fable. So conflicted! My best friend works at Senate House, which was the Ministry of Truth in the 1984 '1984' movie. It's both hideous and wonderful. Here's a picture of it creeping up on Russell Square.

When I went to confession yesterday there was a uniformed police officer standing in the line. The church had a separate chapel for confessions, (no reserved Eucharist), but I hated that a firearm was in the church. But I have a thing about firearms in general, and I want everyone to receive sacramental forgiveness and reconciliation, so if that’s the only time he could bring himself to confess, that’s more important. Note this is would not be my opinion for civilians with firearms.

This is very tangential, but I'm at my cousin's wedding (she's the bride) and hoooooly poo poo her husband went over the top with the proposal. So, they're Minnesotans, and almost everyone in MN has or shares a lake cabin, it's just a thing. Even if you're working class and of modest means, you and another family or two share a lake cabin somewhere out in the boonies and spend weekends in the summer and vacations there. A couple summers ago he takes her to his family's lake cabin and out on the boat for a picnic. He's super into social media so he's streaming the whole thing (with her consent, he does this a lot). While they're eating, a drone comes buzzing in and lands on the boat. This guy and his friends are really into pranks and elaborate surprises, the drone belongs to his friend and he pretends it's a surprise. Oh what's this, the drone has a note attached that says "want to go on a scavenger hunt?" with some lat/long coordinates. She says okay sure I'll play along I wonder what goofy prank this could be. Her now-husband has his own drone on the boat (these are upper-middle class kids so they have a lot of fancy toys), she takes the remote and pilots the drone to the location on the note his friend air-dropped in. While she's operating the remote controlled drone, he slips the ring into his pocket. When she gets the drone to the location... he and his friends had spent several hours a day for an entire week driving railroad stakes into wooden planks to spell out "WILL YOU MARRY ME CARRIE" on the bottom of the lake. When she sees that he breaks out the ring and proposes. They played the video at the wedding reception. I was like, holy crap, that's the most elaborate and clever proposal I've ever heard. And of course he later went and cleaned up all the planks and stakes from the bottom of the lake and built their wedding arch, altar thingy, bed frame/headboard, and a bunch of other pieces from the wood and stakes.
