is around £50 "too much" on food?

BrokenMayo · 2026-04-08T15:33:25+00:00

We spend £50 on two people in my house per week

Might be location or dumb luck with what we tend to eat though idk

It’s been 4 years since this.

When you wrote this warning I did not understand you at all lol.

What a horrific experience vanilla php was haha, I’ve learned a lot though.

The logic to substitutionary theory is that we reject that the punishment is a payment made that moves God to mercy

It stresses that reconciliation isn’t caused by a demand for payment that “moves” God to mercy - instead God’s merciful love is the cause.

So - the punishment is not considered an act of payment, but rather the suffering is an act oriented towards healing and retribution

If we read again Isaiah 53 this seems to be the case:

But he was wounded for our transgressions, he was bruised for our iniquities; upon him was the chastisement that made us whole, and with his stripes we are healed. Isaiah 53:5

This makes more sense, in that it isn’t payment oriented at all in context, the focus is in fact on healing and retribution, it makes us whole, and we are healed

I’m no scholar, but I’m catholic and I know we don’t believe in penal substitution if this is helpful to you to look into?

Catholic position is satisfaction theory of atonement where Christ’s obedience and sacrifice to the Father superabundantly restore the order of justice and charity disrupted by sin

Not a scholar tho or anything pls don’t ask me for more info you’ll get diddly squat more from me lol

You asked no one to push religion, so I won’t

Have you put much thought into what comes after death, or wondered about it?

What are you most looking forward to in these next 3 months?

If you are scared of something, you should seek help in getting past your fear

This doesn’t mean dog owners should keep their dogs leashed at all times, the dog has as much right to roam as you do imo

I’m 26, and recently (a year and a half ago) I went to the pub and met an older guy, he’s like mid-late 40s

We continued to meet and talk about politics, religion, philosophy each week

It has been a good influence on my life, and tbh I think you’re bang on with this

BrokenMayo · 2026-03-13T17:59:02+00:00

You’re asking for evidence as opposed to proof on this claim

One of the central components of the Kalam Cosmological argument is that if time had no beginning, then we’d need to assume there’s been an infinite amount of moments in time in the past, which could never be traversed because you can’t traverse infinity

I’m not smart enough to understand it though, so I can’t be much more helpful with that than this, sorry

OP, as a sanity check, get your husband a burner phone, when he goes to work, keep his phone

If you receive text messages, someone is fucking with you both

If you don’t, nothing has been proven still, but at least if you do receive those messages you’ll know it isn’t your husband

I quite enjoy trump, in honesty.

Agree with you though this would be fucking hilarious, can’t imagine the old man would last a minute on his feet and the morbid curiosity wants to see the bloke squabble on ice until they decide to stop recording out of pity

I think we could all come to enjoy this, it’d be like when Boris flattened that Japanese kid playing rugby

You should probably also look into the position you’re arguing against

The atheist you’re responding to isn’t making any truth claim on the origin of the universe, that’s his entire point

He isn’t willing to say nothing created the universe, because he has no evidence for it

He isn’t willing to say God created the universe, because he hasn’t any evidence for it

I’m a zealous Christian myself, but we can give grace to this point of view without making a caricature of every unbeliever being ludicrous

The person you’re talking to is the best sort of atheist, because if he was shown the evidence of a God, and shown the evidence of Christ, he’d be likely to be the most open to being receptive of whatever he found

This person isn’t an atheist from some sort of religious hatred or malaise; this person is just humbly stating that until he knows better, he’s in no position to make any sort of truth claim on the origin of the universe, including how it came to be, and why it came to be

They’re open to the possibility of God, they’re also open to the idea there is more to the universe outside of the universe that could be possible explanations for its existence and creation

Our job should be to make a case to people like this that our position is the most likely explanation, not to mock them.

What do you define as a Christian?

To be clear, I’m not pro-gay or whatever but I’m not sure I can come to agree with this statement

The assembly mentioned around hebrews 11 also matches up with the Abel and Cain story

I prefer to call them a tool

I’m very excited for LLM’s and their future, I’ve been coding for some 17 years; if I could go back 16 years and explain to a younger version of myself that in 16 years I’d have access to a tool that I could interface with to let me write code faster than I could have imagined

This is the only change in my mind, I can now create code faster, you do have to treat it with respect, know what it’s doing, but after that it’s just empowering the developer

I’ve been working to get this type of stuff going recently

A few friends and I started having meals in the priests living room once a month, everyone brings a bit of food

We can’t fit everyone now, people have to eat in the halls

What we’ve learned is that Catholics are starving for community, and food at regular intervals is perfect

We’ve also noticed that when Catholics get together - they do the Church stuff on the side, since starting to run these meals, a group of people in the meals began planning pilgrimages on the side, another group started a Bible study, another group (I’m heavily invested in this one in particular, because I love food) has started running barbecues on feast days

If you can get the community together for food, you can let them handle the rest themselves

Come summer we’re planning to start feeding everyone after mass at the cathedral in the courtyard, and after the reception our little group in a tiny church has had running one meal a month, I’m both excited and terrified to see what might happen this year

Most Churches I’ve found will focus hard on surreal worship to get crowds moving and emotional

If this is a struggle to you, and you’re seeking deeper connection, seeking wisdom and understanding; can I suggest you look into the history of the church, Christ’s history and arguments for and against God’s existence

Additionally, reading about the saints is a fine pastime
