Pellisworth posted:My point is that even if you genuinely don't think you're being combative, you are. I'm sorry man but I was responding to Senju who openly stated that he was 'shitposting' at me, so i'm not really feeling too bad about that particular (poo poo)post. I'm not the only one being combative. Also, I'm not especially interested in having an argument about sexuality and Christianity; I am, once again, responding to an argument that Gail began.

HEY GAIL posted:the Alaskan saints are as American as it gets, what about Peter? I've thought about Peter since I've always a weird love for Alaska. Pellisworth posted:Hmm do you have any particular historic, ethnic, or national leanings? As in, would you have even a slight preference for e.g. Slavic, Greek, Americans, Church Fathers? Regarding ethnic leanings, since we are going to give him the saint's name as his middle name, I'd rather not go with something SUPER Greek. My wife is Indian so we were also considering St. Thomas the Apostle, but other than that, no strong ethnic ties. So maybe American or one of the Fathers? Since I suck at being Orthodox and my prayer rule is horrible, I would like to foster the opposite traits in him. Also care for the poor and needy.... So maybe St. Basil or St. John Chrysostom. EDIT: Also, thanks for the congratulations!

chernobyl kinsman posted:Will do, but I'd appreciate it if you either didn't come at me for being combative or came at everyone in the argument That wasn't really my intention, I'd composed a post including something along the lines of "tbf Senju also tends to get pretty argumentative" but ditched that. Several posters are responding to you specifically, yes they're also being combative but you can't seem to let anything pass without a snarky reply. More than your beliefs, I think you're struggling with being a new poster to the thread. We mostly all know Senju, Lutha Mahtin, and HEY GAIL while you're an unknown quantity. I do genuinely hope you stay active in the thread, but I suggest you learn to brush off some of the shitposting directed at you and also think twice or thrice before hitting Submit Reply. I'm a gay Lutheran. We disagree on a ton of things, but I don't take it personally. This thread is driven by the mutual understanding to agree to disagree. Posters here represent a wide variety of backgrounds, experiences, and beliefs, including pagans and buddhists and agnostics oh my! We're not going to run you out for your beliefs, unless you're a Nazi or adhere to prosperity gospel, which ain't the case. But, please don't needlessly antagonize other posters, it's tedious and shits up the thread. Lurk more, post less imo. Understand who you're talking to and whether they're shitposting or being dead serious. We have a lot of highly educated theologian-types and a bunch of shitposters like me, it runs the gamut. Okay I think I'll end my participation in this slapfight there, cheers. chernobyl kinsman posted:chrysostom rules and the experience of reading the mystical writings of one's saintly namesake would be really cool, imo. the downside is that there are a lot of St. Johns and that may dilute the attachment to any one in particular yeah this is great input and thanks for shifting topics! I guess my overall point would be if you're diving into hot water with your posting, be extra double triple careful you're not coming across as an rear end in a top hat. because that's not interesting or helpful Pellisworth fucked around with this message at 05:27 on Oct 25, 2017 |

Worthleast may or may not be, because they've been extremely loving burned by the central authority of mainstream catholicism before, so what's their incentive to trust them in this? Where am I?

Holy huevos, ignore chernobyl people  Caufman posted:60 new posts never means the return of Christ. Humans are the dawn of what I would call a less perfect spirituality. Animals, plants and rocks aren't good or bad, they just are, which, left to their own devices, is usually a good thing. We're more or less the only creatures to abstract away our reasons for destroying our home planet and each other, which is really loving unhealthy - but I would posit that it happens because we've lost touch with our interconnectedness to each other and all other life.

Tias posted:Holy huevos, ignore chernobyl people Life in the universe (and therefore the universe itself) certainly doesn't look like it's done metamorphosing. On this planet, humans are new in that they call things good or bad. More as an attitude rather than a discovery, I choose to call the entire cosmos good and behave accordingly. And the sapient existence of humans is a part of that unbroken reality; we're not here as a mistake of natural law. However the history of humans plays out, I'm optimistic about the ultimate meaning of the cosmos. Between now and then, though, every kind of tragedy and disaster is possible, maybe even Cthulhu-esque disasters. But none of that optimism should narcotize me into early inaction, though it's easy to see why I'd want it to. The work has got to be done, or else the kibble just spreads.

HEY GAIL posted:but we tend liturgically conservative https://youtu.be/fvJ73WJU6KA That's a song (a prayer for those who have it rough, essentially) from the best Mass ever, The Finnish Mass. We have all kinds of specialty Masses here, from metal to dance and everything in between and they all follow the core liturgy. The Finnish Mass does too, but it's more like a total conversion mod than one that only adds overpowered units to the player.

HEY GAIL posted:You are correct. I won't quote the rest of this but my hot take is basically that faithful Catholics don't really have to be constantly reminded of Church teachings on LGBTQ+ issues because they're not some sort of secret. It's something that they have to work out for themselves. The Church's teachings on usury are so strict that anyone who works in finance shouldn't even be taking Communion (imo), but somehow there isn't any equivalent of LifeSiteNews or Crisis that talks about the "banker agenda" or "gilded mafia in the curiate."
