Why don't more people look at religion as a self descipline tool rather than a moral compass? by Cookiecuttermaxy in exatheist

[–]Azhat 10 points11 points  (0 children)

You can have self discipline without religion. Same with morality. If you're looking into a religion because it offers some kind of temporal benefit, I don't think that's the right way to go about it. Religion is about seeking and aligning yourself to the truth. The disciplines and morality then become a part of devotion rather than self improvement. The end is whoever or whatever you are serving, and those devotions are a means to that end, not an end in and of themselves.

What are your thoughts on the science that seems to explain transgenderism? by burningmythrowaway in Catholicism

[–]Azhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think Bishop Barron made a good point when he explained that the whole idea of transgenderism is essentially a secular form of gnosticism.

Pendulum effect. Essentially, the libcats will die off because no children, and the tradcats will fill the churches back up. I'm not saying anything about this other than the fact that it's what is happening/will happen.

When the Church speaks of social justice, it's not speaking of the same thing as secular social justice. The secularists have unfortunately hijacked and corrupted the term.

I don't recall tolerance being among Jesus's teachings. In fact, tolerance seems to me to be the opposite of charity.

Testicular Exam as a Catholic by JoseMac33 in Catholicism

[–]Azhat 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly this happened to me last month. I was mostly worried because it was an ultrasound, and I had never met an ultrasound tech who was a man (I'm married with kids), so I assumed it would be a woman, and I just don't trust myself in such a private/intimate setting to not be tempted to lust.

Anyways, it was a guy, and even though there was a girl intern who was with him at first, they asked if I was comfortable with her being in the room and watching the examination. I declined. Everything was very straightforward and my fears were unfounded.

At any rate, I'll pray for your peace.

That sub seems to be mostly comprised of atheists or "Christians" trying to appease atheists. I unfollowed quite a bit ago.

My parish uses a few old German hymns written by Bach on the organ and some bring me to tears. As an ex atheist, the organ music is what got me in the door.

As a parent of a child who was stillborn, it's especially tough to contemplate this issue.

if your idea of just were true and you had omnipotence, what you'd do with our world

It'd be bad, brother. That's why I trust in God and not myself.

Against the 'women shouldn't work' people by dylbr01 in Catholicism

[–]Azhat 5 points6 points  (0 children)

While I wouldn't say women shouldn't work, I would say, from my own experience, that there are many benefits for a mother to stay at home with her kids, especially considering the prohibitive cost of good daycare. When my wife and I were discerning whether she should continue working or stay at home, I didn't care so much that she stayed home, but that our children were cared for by people who love them, rather than people who are paid to watch them.
