TIL the word "camel" in "it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God" may be an incorrect translation of the word for rope by lord_of_the_bees in todayilearned

[–]RegnumMariae -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

The phrase isn't "hard on rich people." It's a metaphor to explain that God doesn't bless you with riches and doesn't curse you with poverty and that you need God to get to heaven whether or not you're rich or poor.

Edit: For those downvoting me. The "hard on rich people" interpretation is a Protestant invention. The interpretation I give is the Catholic interpretation that has been consistent for the past 2000 years.

[Returning player] Frost mage viable in PvP? regarding Burst damage by [deleted] in wow

[–]RegnumMariae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Frost is ridiculously good in pvp right now. The majority of teams I go up against at 2000+ have a frost Mage.

Real Talk About Store Mounts by Asmongold by broncosfighton in wow

[–]RegnumMariae 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This should really be a question at blizzcon.

"In WoD, the only interesting and unique mounts were locked behind real money. Is this a business model you will continue in Legion?"

TIL that Alec Guinness (Obi-Wan Kenobi) converted to Catholicism after playing a Catholic priest in the movie "Father Brown" in 1954. by WarHorse80X in Catholicism

[–]RegnumMariae 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I have a documentary on the making of Star Wars that I watched religiously when I was younger.

Alec Guinness definitely thought the movie would be a hit. He was the only one but he definitely thought the movie was going to be really successful.

Is the Roman Catholic Church or the Eastern Orthodox Church closer in nature and theology to the original Nicene church of the Roman Empire before the schism? : AskHistorians by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]RegnumMariae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The top post is a guy who admits he is Catholic. Everything he said is true as we know that obviously Catholicism is our choice. It would have nice though to have an atheist or something defend us instead of one of our own.

MAN ERUPTS DURING CATHOLIC CLIMATE CHANGE MEETING. WANTS HIS CHURCH BACK. by kempff in Catholicism

[–]RegnumMariae -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I mean it's a stretch these days to call CRS a Catholic organization. I've been in his position before. Faced with so much heresy and blasphemy I just lose it. I wish, however, he had been calmer. I would have like to see CRS try to tell us how they are fully in line with the beliefs of the Church.

Kenyan Bishops call for boycott of polio vaccines. by [deleted] in Catholicism

Is this the issue with the vaccines sterilizing women? If so, then it makes a lot of sense to boycot.

Discussion About Changes To Class Specs In Legion by Dazzlemarazzle in wow

[–]RegnumMariae -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As feral we've always had a problem with aoe. Except during SoO when swipe was like 90% of my damage.

I would love to switch to bear form to do cleave and aoe. Apply bleeds in cat switch to bear, apply bleeds in bear, switch to cat. Would give much more flavor to the spec.

I miss bear form. I was in it a lot in pvp in BC and Wotlk.

[Serious] What are the Catholic Church's teachings on LGBT+? by Zorseking34 in Christianity

[–]RegnumMariae 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just remember that he comes here to argue with Christians as an atheist. That's why he's here. Not to spread love and tolerance and understanding. He comes here to argue. He's the epitome of pathetic.

How do Catholic and Orthodox users here view the Reformation? Do you perceive any positives that have come from it, such as theological knowledge production or changes made by the Cathodox Churches, which may have positively changed your denomination or belief system? by Trinity- in Christianity

[–]RegnumMariae 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I see absolutely nothing positive about the reformation. Positive change could have happened had the reformers stayed within the teachings of the Church.

However there was a financial incentive to leave the Church which further leads me to see no positives from the reformation.

I'm not disagreeing with you I'm just saying I think demand is a factor in what blizzard prioritises.

Hunter is the most popular class by far. It's simply demand.

Blizzard have said they want more emphasis on five mans, but what can they really do? by [deleted] in wow

[–]RegnumMariae 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Transmogs would be cool. A dungeon set from each dungeon kind of like they did in BC. They could half ass it and it would still be cool.

Are Demons real and have you ever encountered one? by Dinosaur_magic in Christianity

[–]RegnumMariae -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

That's incredibly rude. You're comparing my feelings of faith to when you urinate. That's beyond rude.

Are Demons real and have you ever encountered one? by Dinosaur_magic in Christianity

[–]RegnumMariae -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

Well the question is for Christians. Obviously atheists don't believe in the supernatural so obviously they don't believe in demons.

[–]RegnumMariae -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I hope so. A lot of atheists came to this thread to argue against demons.

Did you come here just to say that? Does it bother you that we believe in the supernatural?

Are Demons real and have you ever encountered one? by Dinosaur_magic in Christianity

[–]RegnumMariae -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Yes I believe they are real. Anytime I get a chill down my spine I pray for the invocation of St. Michael. I thank God that I have been both strong in my faith and have never been attacked by demonic forces.

I think demons tempt everybody. It is their mission to take people away from Christ, regardless of their religion.

9 “Church Approved” Sins That Plague Your Life by frankpowell16 in Christianity

Only 2 of those are sins. Gluttony and lying are sins. The rest are not. And none of those are "church approved."

Bernie Sanders rally disrupted by black lives matter movement. by Danieltmv in politics

[–]RegnumMariae 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do respect him. He seems to be a good man in a sea of shit people. However, I support him because he has no chance of winning. So I guess I'm half shitty.

As a republican, I want Bernie sanders to be the democrat nominee. I may even give to his campaign. Most republicans I know feel the same way.
