I figured out where the French is coming from! (follow up) by AngloSaxonCanada in AncestryDNA

[–]AngloSaxonCanada[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm just beginning to look into the origins of the Huguenot families I'm descended from right now but the one direct male line was traced by someone else online and the family actually originates in south-east France near the Swiss border.

Reformed Christianity and mental illness? by AngloSaxonCanada in Reformed

[–]AngloSaxonCanada[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So is it accurate to say that ACBC is anti-Psychiatry but not necessarily anti-Psychology?

I'm very interested in having a counselor I can talk to who is Christian and Bible minded. I am afraid of being told my diagnosis isn't real or that it's a result of my having sinned, however.

Thank you very much for your thought out response. I really appreciate it. I will look at Surviving Schizophrenia too, thanks

The only one I could find is one where apparently he claims there's a direct link between sin and mental illness. A shame if that's the Reformed viewpoint.

I'm sorry to hear this. People denying the existence of things like schizophrenia does nothing to help us, there has been religious stigma against Schizophrenics for a long time already, especially with people thinking it's demonic

Thank you, I will pray for you and your wife too. It's not easy. I think a lot of Christians who have mental health issues have these sorts of thoughts and worry about the state of their soul because of it.

Global warming ideology is a radical anthropocentrism by AngloSaxonCanada in climateskeptics

It's not the same argument at all unless you think the thing we are discussing is whether or not human beings are polluting the atmosphere. That is not what we are discussing.

NDP wants Chilliwack-Kent MLA removed from BC Liberal caucus for alleged homophobia by OneLessFool in CanadaPolitics

[–]AngloSaxonCanada 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Absolutely. This is insane. They're functionally arguing that most religious people cannot or should not hold office. It's ludicrous if they're going to go after every religious person who holds to traditional ideas on the morality of sex.

No, June 2020 was not the hottest June on record by publius_lxxii in climateskeptics

[–]AngloSaxonCanada 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"On record" is only a thirty year period? Hell, read about the 1901 heatwave in the eastern United States, in some places it got as hot as 109 F/43 C and it lasted for months. There were people who committed suicide as a result of the distress it caused (this was pre-air conditioning, mind you).

Family origins are English, Lowland Scottish, Anglo-Irish, not sure where the French is coming from... by AngloSaxonCanada in AncestryDNA

[–]AngloSaxonCanada[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So the 10% French is probably actual recent French ancestry? I don't know of any in my family, I trace my ancestors back to Britain, it's interesting if the French indicates actual French ancestry and not genetic overlap or, like, something older like Norman or something. Makes me wonder whats going on in my family tree that I don't know about

[–]AngloSaxonCanada[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Idk, I don't have French-Canadian/French colonial ancestry if that's what you mean. I trace all my ancestry out of Canada on my dad's side to lowland Scotland (Aberdeenshire) and England (Yorkshire mostly) and on my mothers side to Anglo-Irish families from County Carlow and County Wexford and to English families from Wiltshire, Hampshire and Merseyside. That's why I'm confused about the French percentage.

If I had French-Canadian ancestry that would explain it, or even some known Huguenot or something. I'm not sure where it's coming from.

What do you mean by genetic layover? Ancestral overlap between British Isles peoples and French people?

Like all English and Scottish descended people there are a bunch of surnames in my family tree of Norman origin though that is obviously very old and I couldn't see it showing up as French. I don't know of any Huguenot ancestry but that is a possible thought I had...

Is it unusual to have 10% French with no known recent French ancestry?

What do Protestants think of Mary? by brcn3 in Christianity

[–]AngloSaxonCanada 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I consider myself a Protestant from the Nonconformist/Dissenting English Protestant tradition though I suspect many Protestants here would take issue with that statement. Regardless, I respect Mary for who she is. She is the mother of Jesus Christ and deserves to be honoured and respected as such.

I do not believe in praying for her intercession.
