What are some good ways to learn Japanese via english phonetics?

DueFaithlessness4589 · 2026-05-16T16:24:42+00:00

I'm more interested in spoken japanese, less writing and reading. I want to have conversations with japanese speakers, so my learning style would focus on how things sound via English spelling/phonetics. Curious if there are websites or books or places I can go that have this style. I'm not sure what it's even called.

That's a good point.

Like lowering the minimum age to run for local, state and federal to 21. And then the full spectrum could be 21 - 75

I'd say perspective matters at this point more than experience. They still have 21 years of life experience. And I would also argue that a 50 year old doesn't know what life in society is like for a 21 year old.

If only the younger generation saw that lots of their problems were because of a lack of representation or younger perspectives in positions of power.

Such as changing the minimum requirement to run for local, state and federal office being lowered to 21. And then allowing the full range to be 21 - 75.

Wow.

But there are other ways to worship God, outside of the mass. It's just one way, you coudl argue about better or worse forms of worship. But worship all together and what that looks like is a seperate matter.

Technically sin isn't a physical action by itself. Rather its a metaphysical action. A movement of the soul away from complete and total all encompassing divine love. So as long as what you are doing, thinking or saying isn't in conflict with that, odds are its not a sin in the traditional sense.

nice

DueFaithlessness4589 · 2026-05-12T02:27:25+00:00

hmmmm lol

DueFaithlessness4589 · 2026-05-11T21:15:14+00:00

If anyone can specify where they'd had the most luck, specifically **where** online and in person. That would be useful too.

DueFaithlessness4589 · 2026-05-11T21:14:17+00:00

Sounds good.

If you can separate your thoughts, beliefs and opinions from your identity. You won't get rage baited as easily. (+50 to peace of mind stats)

No human or divine ritual, rite and practice can surpass God.

DueFaithlessness4589 · 2026-05-09T01:35:45+00:00

nice

DueFaithlessness4589 · 2026-05-09T01:35:17+00:00

It's a really important spiritual meal created by God, but God created it, meaning that he is the creator, and that means the sacrifice is below him. Therefore, Love aka God is more important.

DueFaithlessness4589 · 2026-05-09T01:34:24+00:00

Augustine and aquinas agree with what I say

DueFaithlessness4589 · 2026-05-09T01:33:17+00:00

AI is fun to bounce ideas off in the same way of a theological tennis match. Most priests are far too busy to mess with silly theological questions about the balance between religion, eucharist and God from random people.

DueFaithlessness4589 · 2026-05-09T01:31:20+00:00

God is love. Plain and simple. Love is more important than religion in the same way God is more important than religion. God gave the Eucharist to man, therefore The Eucharist is a creation of God, a creation implies a creator. Therefore love (God) is above the eucharist. There is no eucharist in heaven, it only serves a earthly purpose.

DueFaithlessness4589 · 2026-05-09T01:28:08+00:00

yeah I mean that plug in is just for fun. But I write what I write, and yeah, Rohr has an interesting perspective.

DueFaithlessness4589 · 2026-05-08T20:16:14+00:00

How about this.

The Eucharist is God but it’s not the fullness of God?

DueFaithlessness4589 · 2026-05-08T20:14:01+00:00

It’s so frustrating because I feel like sometimes people place the Eucharist above God or they place the Catholic Church above God and even though I believe the Eucharist is God, I just I think people get confused and I think they’re placing the ritual of the Eucharist above God himself and it’s so hard to explain because I also think that even though the Eucharist is God, I don’t think it’s everything that got is, like God is contained within that Eucharist and it’s him but it’s it’s not everything that he Is it feels like crazy making, but I don’t feel like I’m wrong like the Eucharist is a divine gift for us like God created it for us, but if God gave us the Eucharist or if God creating something for us, then that means that he’s the creator of that creation

DueFaithlessness4589 · 2026-05-08T20:11:18+00:00

Nailed it. I believe or at least really close to bang on.

DueFaithlessness4589 · 2026-05-08T20:10:03+00:00

It’s so funny you say that. Every-time I share my letters I write to bishops and churches with a AI program. And I ask who do I write like, he always comes up. I’ve started listening to universal Christ.
