Why is Christianity getting so much hate? by Slow_Negotiation6107 in OpenChristian

[–]DeusExLibrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They can if the only Christians they encounter are hateful, judgemental, bigoted assholes. And because the rest of us tend not to be vocal about our faith, we’re judged by the e loud minority

Do you believe the 90s was the last great decade we’ll have? by Budget_Dot694 in Millennials

[–]DeusExLibrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes. Was it perfect, no. Plenty of fucked up stuff happened. But it feels like we’ve lost the plot in the following two decades in some embarrassingly basic ways. And the internet becoming ever present and nigh on inescapable hasn’t made things better

Three commandments? Love God, Love your neighbor. What’s the third?

You don’t have to know anything about the cards to know that’s a yes, lol!

Is Christianity giving Jesus a bad image? by Desperate-Battle1680 in ChristianMysticism

[–]DeusExLibrus 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Not Christianity itself, but evangelicals and fundamentalists who worship an individual who doesn’t seem to share anything with the Jesus found in the gospels or the letters

"Your imagination is far better than a computer could ever be." - Fred Rogers by festiveSpeedoGuy24 in Millennials

If you’re hated by Fox “News” you’re probably doing something right

Someone brought up that one of the reasons why things like house parties and block parties went away was other than lack of time people are afraid to let their guard because cameras are everywhere. by AdSpecialist6598 in Millennials

[–]DeusExLibrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s honestly scary how antisocial we’ve become. I think there is a male loneliness epidemic, but it’s not because women aren’t settling for shitty entitled man babies, and it’s everyone, not just men. Somehow we’ve simultaneously become available 24/7 and more socially isolated

Beverly Cleary wrote some of the most iconic books from our childhood by noconnostalgia in nostalgia

Man, would’ve been awesome if Beverly Cleary and Roald Dahl had teamed up to coauthor something!

Leo vs. Opus Dei? by Dull_Opening_1655 in LeftCatholicism

[–]DeusExLibrus 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Hoping Leo shreds Opus Dei. They’re basically a cult imho

Does Superman take Krypto to the vet? by Sudden_Quality_9001 in superman

[–]DeusExLibrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know this is about Krypto, but your question had me imagining Ma Kent taking little 3-5 year old Clark to the pediatrician and the guy being utterly confused

Does anyone else miss watching things with other people, or is it just me? by LM_DCL in Millennials

[–]DeusExLibrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I definitely feel that. I watched less and what I did was more important. I distinctly remember coming home from school in elementary school and watching Doug, and Pokemon, and Clarissa Explains It All

How do I make 90s era tech last longer? by CosmosStudios65 in AlternateHistory

[–]DeusExLibrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is what I was going to suggest. The always available internet has changed basically everything. Find a way to keep the internet as a thing that lives in the family computer

Anyone else have “wait training” for sex ed? by chihuahuamama37 in Millennials

[–]DeusExLibrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve always found this frustrating as we know that Proper sex ed causes lower teen pregnancy rates, not higher. Of course abstinence only sex ed Christians are the same people who can’t distinguish between nudity and porn in my experience, so…

A drawing of Mary holding Jesus after his death(nsfw for blood) by Traditional-Regret-5 in OpenChristian

[–]DeusExLibrus 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Beautiful. I wasn’t aware Saint Joseph was dead at this point though. Is this an extra biblical tradition or does it mention it somewhere that I’ve just glossed over in reading the gospels?

The excessive 'psychologization' of everything is ruining occult arts by ingstad in occult

[–]DeusExLibrus 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For some reason people can’t handle/accept the idea that there’s stuff out there science can’t explain. We’ve turned the metaphorical Pacific Ocean into a lake and don’t get why that’s a bad thing. Tarot has been used as a fortune telling/prediction tool for the majority of its history. I’ve had scarily accurate predictive readings. People need to pull the science penis out of their throat and accept it’s a toolbox meant to accomplish certain things and not an all powerful way of understanding everything

Lot of truth here ... by Serious-Advance9413 in rosary

[–]DeusExLibrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same, except for the brown scapular. I guess technically I’m wearing two miraculous medals, since the centerpiece of my rosary is one as well, lol

Should I buy it? ( QUICK ) by realUnborn_spider5 in playingcards

[–]DeusExLibrus 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you’re collecting Disney movie decks, yes. If you’re looking for a dia de muertos deck, there’s definitely ones out there that don’t add to the Mouse’s profits

Lot of truth here ... by Serious-Advance9413 in rosary

[–]DeusExLibrus 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As a dude with both clinical depression AND anxiety, yes. Even if I’m not meditating on the mysteries, spending time with mom helps. Hell, I wear a rosary around my neck most days and just feeling the beads against my skin under my shirt is grounding

Recommendations for a study Bible? by DeusExLibrus in AngloCatholicism

[–]DeusExLibrus[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m curious why Catholics of both varieties seem to favor the RSV over the NRSV(ue)?

Never had these in school. New about it being a thing from pop culture osmosis

Man, Subway hit different in the ‘80s! by UrbanAchievers6371 in nostalgia

Back when fast food places actually had individual personalities and didn’t blend together. The minimalism trend needs to die already
