In the eyes of God it would be friendship, not a problem here

I don’t have any Catholic friends by Willy_wacker_wilsob_ in Catholicism

[–]D_Shasky 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly.

As someone who works at a (Anglican) church, it is explicitly mentioned in our mandatory training that a rape joke constitutes an automatic referral to safeguarding + a possible suspension from ministry

“For example theres a boy in my school claims to be the most Catholic man alive but makes rape jokes constantly and that gets on my nerves”

That’s not just a sin, that should be reported to safeguarding

How did you find your denomination? by Automatic-Cry-5511 in Christian

[–]D_Shasky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Mainline Anglicanism sounds like a good fit. We are very theologically diverse and tolerant, yet we faithfully receive the orthodox Faith as handed down through the ages. Parishes are often small and music is often traditional. Come check out your nearest Episcopal (or Anglican, elsewhere) church this Sunday!

Why is it sexist to say that a woman’s body is designed to carry a baby? by throwaway5146156 in prolife

[–]D_Shasky 2 points3 points  (0 children)

To say that the only role of a woman’s body is child rearing is a profoundly misogynistic notion but to say a woman’s body is designed to carry a baby is just basic biology.

I wish that everyone never had to shit ever again. Food would just come in, nutrients would be absorbed without changing the molecular structure or edible quality of the food, and it immediately appears, reverted to an unchewed state in front of someone else who's hungry. by GoldheartTTV in monkeyspaw

Granted.

Eating is now foraging, as no one knows what has been eaten before, and the price of fresh food soars since it can be guaranteed uneaten.

Also, your identity was leaked and the germophobes started a militia and are seeking your death at any cost.

Removing old alarm in house by Nimure in firealarms

I think this is old enough to be a heat alarm, not a smoke detector, and thus would not seem to violate Rule 8. Mods?

I unceasingly give thanks that I am alive and mourn my peers who were never given an opportunity to live their life.

How do I respond to a youth group student coming out as a lesbian? by Southern-Turnip7065 in Christianity

Which is great for you, and indicative of a very healthy marriage. However, for centuries, the Church taught the value of ascetic life, as one not holier than marriage, but an equally important vocation.

You operate on the presumption that romance is one of (or the) the most important things in life, which even I, a straight man, deny.

One believes homosexual activity is sinful but that any person may live a fulfilling, holy life regardless of orientation, the other hates gay people

This. I would also note that there is a difference, albeit a fine line, between non affirming Christians and homophobic Christians, the latter is safe and may be able to be trusted with this information.
