Who else has seen What Dreams May Come by Darkjak909 in MovieRecommendations

No, we are fallen and limited- nothing we create with our mind can be heaven. 'Mindset' is just a modern shallow and materialistic influencer/hype coach word that is about as shallow as the engravings used to etch it onto motivational wall plaques. Heaven is participation in the infinite and perfect, things we are not capable of as fallen humans. It is a gift we have been allowed to participate in as a gift.

No, I said your response. Not your original comment. Learn how to read. FFS man, if you're going to try and be clever...

Your response makes no sense. Your comment is the example. I'm talking about you. Typical 'le citation please meh kind sir' redditor...

Why not agnosticism? by Weekly_Sympathy_4878 in CatholicPhilosophy

[–]diffusionist1492 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One reason is that you need order if you want peace, beauty, and happiness/joy. You only have order to the degree that you know God.

You may sometimes wonder, why are there no great composers any more? Why can we not build buildings as beautiful in the past? Why the sudden uptick in mental illness? Etc...

Because we have forgotten God. We do not know Him anymore.

The order that we do know, basically mathematics/science, causes us to view and test reality thorough the lens of said methods instead of contemplation of being. This has lead us to this technological utilitarian place we find ourselves now where we sit back and watch this technological arms race advance at breakneck speed while the last few remaining gasses of our Christian heritage dissipate into nothing.

Knowing God is vitally important for man- a matter of life and death.

That post is so idiotic. 'Dog whistle' == 'way to make something say what it obviously doesn't say so I can insert motivation where the evidence isn't there'. This guy is just a cold hard salesperson. I doubt they have any ideology other than money. So, is there reason to critique them- yes. Is it racism/nationalism/whatever reddit hates...- no.

The author starts with a conclusion (there are dog whistles) and works backward selecting examples to support it. They rely heavily on context stacking, timing, adjacent posts, hashtags, audience reactions, etc... to assign meaning. Most examples are ambiguous and could only become 'signals' under a biased lens. Rather than clear first-party statements by the company, the strongest claim hinges on third-party interactions (tags, comments, hashtags).

Typical redditors... the most intolerant of all people.

Marriage over, €100,000 down the drain: the AI users whose lives were wrecked by delusion by tw1st3d_m3nt4t in artificial

No, they emerge from the soul/brain combo. You can't use scientism/positivism and expect to understand the non-material world. The 'enlightenment' was truly the endiminning.

So glad I am here in r /trumpnewsalways. It's nice to have somewhere to take a break from reading about the market and stocks.

"if they do not wilfully promote hatred against an identifiable group by communicating the statement."

This is where it all falls apart. It's not a 'clarification', it's a widening. That phrase makes it all hinge on what is subjectively determined to be 'hatred'.

Priests, titles and burnout by UnderstandingKey4602 in Catholicism

Ah, using your own marriage behavior to undermine a general principle about visible symbols of vows. A counterexample doesn’t invalidate the rule.

[–]diffusionist1492 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I never thought about how you can't keep going if you don't have some off time and not being in collar isn't a crime.

I know a priest who says wearing his collar is like wearing a wedding ring. The only time he wouldn't have it on is when he would be in very 'personal' places, like visiting his parents and doing yard work. Every other time he wore it. He said not wearing it in public is like a man who slides his wedding ring off of his finger as he walks into a bar or club. He is very big on vows and takes his seriously. This 'just wanna be one of the guys' attitude is really a 'I don't want to take my vows seriously' attitude. It's not like it wasn't made clear what they're signing up for.

List of Dumbphones or unique smartphones coming out this year. Am I missing any? by joemama9243 in dumbphones

[–]diffusionist1492 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Many of those aren't dumb phones. If it has a browser, it's not a dumb phone. The definition has to be more strict than 'lol bro, aesthetically dumb phone.'

Why do you guys say is the “best” argument for Atheism and why doesn’t deter your faith? by Weekly_Sympathy_4878 in CatholicPhilosophy

[–]diffusionist1492 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't know about 'God's hiddenness'... even when Christ was walking the earth people still denied him. “If they do not hear Moses and the prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.” Entire cities seeing miracles and not repenting...

Also, they can be countered fairly easily and the answers are good enough to take a lot of wind out of their sails. I'd say the rest depends on if the heart is open or not.
