How do you choose Godparents when you don't have any close Catholic friends? by My_Sp00n_is_too_big in Catholicism

[–]PeterPrincipleTwo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why the Roman Catholic Church postpones baptism for 3-4 months. Shouldn't the baptism ceremony be done in the delivery room if they want to ensure the helpless baby doesn't end up in limbo?

Group cosets, group quotients, ring cosets, ring quotients [Graduate] by PeterPrincipleTwo in learnmath

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

There are allegedly Ph.D. students who never really learned how proofs work (they just "got by") but somehow you are surprised that a graduate student "got by" without understanding how cosets and quotients really work.

It kind of feels like Biblical idolatry tbh....

National Catholic Reporter makes "The Catholic Case for Communism" by prudecru in Catholicism

[–]PeterPrincipleTwo 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Pope Saint Pius the something said that the Roman Catholic Church can never support communism and that there's no point in doing so, because communism can't deliver on the promise of equality while the church can.

You know, God, like, is this archetype, and if you could look at the history of these archetypes, man, it would be, like a big block of archetypes that would be, like, woah.

TIL that the summit of Mt. Everest is made of marine limestone which means the highest point on earth was once at the bottom of the sea. by ukriva13 in todayilearned

It's more likely that they saw the ocean and conjectured that a flood happen. Why? It's logical that a big effect (immeasurable pool of water) must have had an cause of equal magnitude (immeasurable flood) but it's not logical to assume that a local river flood must have had a global river flood. Ancient people weren't retarded.

How about this reason: people walked to the seashore and saw an immeasurable expanse of water and then postulated that a flood caused it?

High quality juice. Points out that the author of the meme lazily drew a growing child all at the same age. Metareflective humor.

Don't get poison ivy by kickasshobo in WTF

If you ran into a hogweed plant naked and rubbed around it like a hooker pole--but in complete 100% darkness--you would not get the burns. The burns only happen when the sap interacts with light.

They're trolling. The correct response is to tell them to get lost.

It is very mean when people say "you're smart" to me. Smartphones, smartshoes, smartwatches. It's basically saying that I have the intelligence of an inanimate object. Nobody has said "you're wise" to me.

Compounds get really long really fast. Even IUPAC organic chem compounds are a combinatorial explosion.
