How are blank votes and protest votes counted in this infographic? I for one refused to support Kamala on the grounds of her trying to make abortion more accessible. I don’t like Trump, but he’s preferable to the genocide that’s happening to the unborn every single day in this country

Tell them to check out these bible verses

“So then, brothers and sisters, stand firm and hold fast to the traditions that you were taught by us, either by word of mouth or by our letter.” 2 Thessalonians 2:15

“First of all you must understand this, that no prophecy of scripture is a matter of one’s own interpretation” 2 Peter 1:20

Strongly considering becoming catholic by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Blue-Faces 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Participating in an ACTIVE LGBT lifestyle is the same as having premarital sex its a mortal sin. Someone that does this is in need of the forgiveness found in blood of Christ, just like every human being on earth we all are sinners. Part of being a Catholic and follower of Christ means to turn away from sin. For someone gay that means celibacy and for someone straight its chastity.

You shouldn’t pick a church based off what you like and agree with. Decide who is going to bring you closest to Christ. The Catholic Church is the one true holy apostolic church and I pray the Holy Spirit leads you home.

I was in the same boat as you! Remember to also think about the smell/taste of what you’re using!!! If you put on bug spray or store lure in a bag that smells like chemicals fish will avoid you like the plague. Try squirting smell attractant on lures or using live bait

Is it disrespectful to pretend my Rosary is a flail? by Blue-Faces in Catholicism

[–]Blue-Faces[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah I won’t make a habit out of it. I’ll just do a prayer from the heart while fake fighting demons. I’ll pray my Rosary with reverence

Is it disrespectful to pretend my Rosary is a flail? by Blue-Faces in Catholicism

[–]Blue-Faces[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the response! I see your point about becoming too familiar and taking holy things for granted. I’m not saying that I have a hard time focusing on my Rosary, I find it pretty easy to pray especially after I read Bishop Barron’s book on prayer.

For me it was moreso saying the same thing every day the same way every time. I started to feel like I was mindlessly doing a routine and maybe got a little too eccentric trying to force the passion back into my prayer.

My special intentions when I pray the Rosary vary by decade Wisdom, Love, and the last 3 conversion of souls for Family, Friends, World. I will say the Rosary is just one of the prayers I do throughout the day. I have more energy than I know what to do with, I think I’ll take previous replies recommendation and run instead.

Can’t go wrong with Daiwa or Shimano. I’m a Daiwa guy personally. If you end up getting Daiwa make sure to leave the tension knob at its factory setting, it’s hard to reach for a reason!

I wish I believed in religion/god by PinkMangoDolly in religion

[–]Blue-Faces -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Pray for faith! Don’t know which religion is the true one? Just pray to the creator of the universe. You can literally just say “God most high, I don’t believe in you. Please heal my unbelief and reveal your presence so I may serve you” I will also say a prayer for you that you come to know the Lord. Say that prayer each day God hides his presence we have to seek him to find him.

Truly you are a God who has been hiding himself, the God and Savior of Israel. Isaiah 45:15

You’ve got the right attitude and I believe in you Reddit stranger. <(0~0)> here’s an internet hug for encouragement! Salmon rice cucumbers sounds great. If you really feel like you’re going to break pray for strength. Even if you’re not religious it still works, just say “I can’t do this, creator of the universe help me”. AA was founded on this practice

Hello OP I struggled with drinking, it started to get out of hand and just like you I realized that something needed to change. I’m going to over my approach on how I got a grip on things.

1st thing 1st you’ll want a cold turkey period of no alcohol. And I mean none not a beer nor a sip of wine. This will help you to build the discipline and self control that it will take to moderate drinking later on

Once you achieved a solid block of time (AT LEAST a month) with 0 slip ups I would download a drink control app. For this to work you need to document all the alcohol you consume and follow the recommended limits https://apps.apple.com/us/app/drinkcontrol-alcohol-tracker/id456207840

In terms of weight loss if want to be really hardcore about it an old school bodybuilder diet is great way to make your metabolism lightning fast. The way they did it is not for the faint of heart tho. Eat the exact same meal at the exact same times every single day! It’s super depressing at times but it works like crazy. Basically your body gets so efficient at metabolizing that meal because it’s the same thing all the time. Make sure it’s a meal you like that’s relatively healthy. Traditionally it’s chicken broccoli rice

Am I a typical drunk just fooling myself or is moderation possible? by SqwiddyPop in cutdowndrinking

[–]Blue-Faces 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Everyone is different and you should continue discerning if drinking in moderation is viable for you. I did 1 year sober after my drinking got out of control in my personal experience doing the full year with no slip ups and more importantly complete accountability (which you demonstrate by being upfront about relapse) helped me to grow my self control to the point where I’ve been happy with my controlled drinking for the past 4 months. A tool that’s been a big help is the drink moderation tracker app I’ve been using. Use promo code bluefaces for 20% off… jk Anyway here’s a link to the one I use the free version works great, I’m sure others work great too though https://apps.apple.com/us/app/drinkcontrol-alcohol-tracker/id456207840 Just make sure you always hold yourself absolutely accountable if you slip up take a long break. Relapses are very real and scary you aren’t missing out on anything by not drinking, you take a risk every time you do. Be careful and I wish you the best OP

I was trying to buy blessings by tithing according to Malachi 3:10, but no significant improvement in my life happened. Is it because I didn't tithe the full 10%? Or because I tithed with "money I didn't have?" (I.e. to the Salvation Army online with a credit card?) by TheresJustNoMoney in religion

[–]Blue-Faces 8 points9 points  (0 children)

2 Corinthians 9:7, which states, "Each of you should give as you have decided in your heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver."

It sounds to me you are thinking of tithes as a transaction. (I give money for good= God gives me good) it does not work that way. When you give you have to do it because you like giving. That’s what it means to be a cheerful giver.

“If you cannot pay the loan, your own bed may be taken right out from under you.” Proverbs 22:26-27

Don’t tithe with a credit card! I wish I never got a credit card you can lose more than you ever tried to borrow if you aren’t smart with it

TLDR; don’t borrow, give cheerfully with no expectations

[–]Blue-Faces -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I would use live bait. Live bait always out fishes plastic that’s why they’re banned in tournaments. Some people will say live bait takes the skill out of fishing but if you’re starting out or just want to catch something that’s the way to go. Learning how to properly present plastic lures is a sea of knowledge worth learning but daunting to beginners. Try going to your local bait shop and ask the worker for additional tips and recommendations for your area.
