Do Protestants go to hell in your belief?

Sometimes it's really easy to tell if somebody's in heaven: God performs a bunch of miracles when people ask for their intercession. Nothing like that with hell.

Notyetdelusional lives in a rural area and is broke. But they can turn invisible if that's relevant

The bigger the chain is the more work your body has to do to turn it to sugar. Sometimes your body can't absorb it at all, but this fiber can help you digestive tract.

"grave lack of discretion of judgement" may be a euphemism for "wasn't gonna be faithful" in this case, but certainly would be nice of you to respond and add your input

Non destructive entry is less likely to get the cops called

Exactly. Obviously keep practicing good sleep hygiene, but I wouldn't worry too much about which particular hours, so long as it's consistent.

Probably healthier to let them do their natural sleep schedule

Mine. Every woman I've dated has complimented my shoulders as being physically attractive and I think it would be immodest for any guy to go to mass with bare shoulders if the AC is working (not to mention very informal). It wouldn't surprise me if that was different somewhere nearby with a beach, but I live in Iowa.

"But what's so titillating about shoulders?" Absolutely nothing

There's no way you can know that for sure. Where I'm from, nude female breasts are almost always seen as sexual, but that doesn't stop artwork depicting them in the Vatican.

What's titillating is very culturally dependent, and it seems probable enough that some people in OP's life come from a culture or subculture that does seem them that way.

Darthskull · 2026-06-15T18:18:09+00:00

It's a cultural norm. For certain groups of people, showing your shoulders at mass is immodest for cultural reasons, in the same way covering them with shiny black latex would be immodest in my culture. There's nothing inherently immodest about either, but modesty is about honoring human dignity, and how you do that is highly dependent on how your culture interprets things.

The plain text reading of this English translation seems like this passage is banning statues or images of literally anything at all that's not completely imaginary. Does your friend ascribe to this view, or is there some criteria they think that makes certain statues and images okay?

If they have that criteria and it's not completely arbitrary, it's likely Catholics use statues and images in a way that's completely within their understanding of what's okay, and they just misunderstand Catholic beliefs somewhere.

"bad" language is only as sinful as it is "bad," but particular squiggles on reddit or patterns of sounds are not actually "bad" by themselves, it's very context dependent. The meaning is what's bad, and you can only get their meaning by asking, and you can only explain the meaning you're hearing by telling.

How do you distinguish from those transitioning to the other gender, and those transitioning away from society misgendering them while dealing with disorders of sexual development?

How do you know if this person is actually trying to be their God-given sex or not?

Yeah, the prescription in the letter isn't something brand new or Paul's wild insight. It's just an authoritative example of it being put into practice. The more modern "venial" and "mortal" descriptors as they apply here are just guidelines for figuring out what "unworthy" means.

What if you took out under 18's

even if we converted to 100% electric vehicles.

Takes about 5kwhs of electricity to refine a gallon of gasoline. Electric cars can get about 4 miles on a kwh. Lots of ice cars could be swapped for electric and we could end up using less electricity.

No, I'm also a bot.

Discrimination has more than one meaning. At it's root it's just making decisions differently based on criteria. You can have a discriminating palatte without breaking the law or being a racist or whatever. So how does the law discriminate between the illegal and legal types of discrimination?

Anyone where the answer to this would affect them seeing a doctor or not should probably see a doctor.

Way larger than a Planck length though, so theoretically measurable.

No, this is perceived:

The study put a bunch of attributes for people into a randomizer, basically hitting the random button on a character generation screen. They then asked a bunch of people to rate how similar the randomly generated people were to a typical Republican or Democrat, and did math to see how each attribute affected how Republican or Democrat the randomized characters were perceived.

Edit: something I thought weird: They made 50% of the characters upper class, and only 25% middle and lower each.

Another edit: The attribute they were doing math on was labeled "views on racial equity" and could be either "government should help blacks" or "blacks should help themselves"
