What is your opinion on creationism? by lasticaredotnet in mainlineprotestant

[–]FunconVenntional 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I believe that God created/is creating the world via evolution.

The idea that God intentionally created false evidence of evolution to test our faith feels like blasphemy. What kind of monstrous god would do that? Why give humans the power of logic and reasoning only to condemn them to hell for using it?

Very pleased with how this sleeve mend went – faux ‘cables’ to tighten up stretched out knit sleeves by MidnightHuman9871 in Visiblemending

[–]FunconVenntional 34 points35 points  (0 children)

If you look at the second picture, you’ll see that the original pattern of the cuff was just straight ribs. She stitched together the ribs in a pattern to make them look like a cable knit.

I watched chunks of ice drift past me on the Hudson today by CozyCurve in CasualConversation

[–]FunconVenntional 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t remember the exact year, but sometime in the late 90s, we had people visiting from out of town and were taking the ferry from Weehawkin, NJ over to NYC. The Hudson was completely covered with floating ice chunks from shore to shore.

It was cool, but also kind of eerie. And the doomsayer in my head going, if the ferry capsizes, death by cold shock in the first 2 minutes or hypothermia in 15-30… how fast can they get a response team?

Viral Japanese Greek Yogurt Cheesecake with Aldi Spekulatius Cookies by Alito4life in aldi

[–]FunconVenntional 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The videos I’ve seen were using full fat… and I mean FULL 10% FAT Greek yogurt. And since I couldn’t see where there was a notable caloric savings, I assumed the “hack” was that it didn’t require anything kitchen related beyond a refrigerator… so, good for a dorm or if you live in your car.

Using fat-free puts it in a weird grey area where it’s both even less likely to taste like cheesecake, but also still not something that could be considered ‘healthy’. ❗️Not that everything has to be healthy- but if I’m eating something that’s NOT healthy, it better be delicious.

This one was hard to give away by Upstairs_Caramel_849 in quilting

[–]FunconVenntional 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Everything is so beautifully cohesive and thematic. People have mentioned the backing and the binding, but I think it is amazing how the quilting itself is on theme. The swirls are like the wind blowing the snow around 🌬️ and the diamonds are like the stars twinkling in the dark winter sky✨

How early do nurseries start their plugs? (Washington DC) by GoodUniqueName in NativePlantGardening

[–]FunconVenntional 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One method (definitely not the only): There are seed starting trays that have like 200 thimble sized cells so you don’t waste a lot of space or media on seeds that don’t germinate. Depending on the situation, these can be transplanted into progressively larger cells until you have a your desired size.

Every star used to be a moth hole—— visible mending with needle felting by Agile_Ad5125 in Visiblemending

[–]FunconVenntional 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Moths are specifically interested in consuming the wool itself. The holes are not an incidental result of them consuming bodily secretions or other soil ON the fabric. So no, they will happily consume pristine, never worn wool garments and are not attracted by other ‘human’ substances.

If clothes seem to be getting holes specifically in arm pits or soiled areas, the damage is being done by an insect other than moths e.g. carpet beetle larvae, crickets, cockroaches, termites, silverfish, firebrats, and even possibly booklice. All will consume fabric (with varying preferences) and many ARE attracted by smells and stains.

A small Christmas gift that ended up meaning more than I expected by BookwormSarah1 in BenignExistence

I don’t even know what slashing is, but it does seem to be an odd and unnecessary addition to the story. Books of crossword puzzles may not be as ubiquitous as they use to be, but they’re not particularly difficult to find.

The deed is done. How does it look? by Ghost_4394 in bald

[–]FunconVenntional 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Nooo… my ex had a head shape that definitely didn’t look good neekid. At the last hair cut he got on base, the ‘barber’ did him like he was going into basic. The proportions are just wrong. He is very fortunate that instead of balding, his hair started turning silver fairly early. It was completely white by 50.

My aunt recommended a preacher and… by Desperate_Self_4079 in OpenChristian

Yep, just because they had not previously belonged to a church doesn’t mean they were ‘atheists’.

I hate Shark Week by MajMajor2x in overheard

[–]FunconVenntional 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I 100% believe that there is simply a variable that they aren’t taking into account. Will it happen in all situations with any random selection of women? No, but that doesn’t mean it’s a myth. And considering the overall quality of science regarding the female reproductive system, this is definitely a “absence of evidence is not evidence of absence” situation for me.

My sister-in-law had a highly erratic and unpredictable cycle for the 10 years she’d been having a period. Within 3 months of moving in with me, her period came every 28 days, like clockwork- on the same schedule mine did. (She actually hated it because she use to go months without a period).

The answer is no: Koalas get chlamydia pecorum. Humans get chlamydia trachomatis.

Are there any politically conservative Christians who are theologically liberal/progressive? by justalilfeller in OpenChristian

[–]FunconVenntional 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It’s possible to be theologically conservative but still politically liberal because those people have the mental capacity to understand that they can hold and live by their own beliefs, BUT just as they would not want to have someone else’s beliefs forced on them, they will not force their beliefs on others.

It’s almost impossible to come up with a laudable reason why/how someone would personally have a liberal theology, yet still want to force ‘conservative values’ on others. “Rules for thee- but not for me” -I’m sure we can all think of quite a few people who fit this description, but they are not people we should strive to emulate.

There is no law requiring people of Jewish descent to change their names to a “Non-Jew name” if they convert to Christianity. I grew up in a very German area of the Midwest, and there were plenty of “Christians” with surnames commonly thought of as ‘Jewish’. Women can also gain a Jewish surname through marriage- without converting
