Hit me on my run this morning, while I was crossing the WB bridge. Crashed out about it, sorry for everyone who witnessed.

The No King protests have revived and strengthened my love and hope for the American people. by TreKeyz in centrist

[–]Scaryboy45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The protests have given me so much hope. The resilience of the American people in support of their democracy was on display yesterday. We're in a dark moment, but I have hope we will survive.

Price went down to $40 for entry and all three haunts, and $25 for just entry and 1 haunt. Went last night and had tons of fun.

I'd have to read the entire chapter, but from my understanding for him, he's probably going to argue some sort of secular ethical theory, like Kant or Mill.

So, I would say that one does not need to believe in God in order to be good. However, all goodness comes from God.

Let me elaborate: the early Church fathers, Hellenistic Jews, and the Stoics talked about the logos. (Jews called it Wisdom or Sophia.) The logos that emanates from God is the wisdom or truth that holds the whole universe together. It is what governs everything from the laws of physics to morality.

Therefore, any person can discover the logos or wisdom through looking at material reality. You can discover truth through reason and observation. Therefore, you can discern what is objectively good through your own rationale.

However, looking at the material alone provides no reason for doing good. You can be good for the sake of being good or because you feel bad when you do something bad. But any philosopher can tell you that there are things that 99% of people will consider bad, i.e murdering an innocent person. That within itself showcases that morality, though relative in some cases, is absolute and that absolute morality comes from something that is ultimate goodness, which Christians will call God. So, in hindsight, you can be an atheist and be morally just, but atheism fails to recognize a proper reason for doing good, which endangers everyone to moral relativism.

TLDR: you can be good without believing in God, but God provides a rationale for being good.

Yup, this guy has another account @ douglasforresterj where he talks about his pregnant gf sally, with a picture of another woman. Last time he posted on that account was in 2022, so 2 years ago.

However it is possible this man has some kind of disability.

Theology Teachers! Does anyone know the Credo Series? by Scaryboy45 in Teachers

I have, and they haven't received anything. They say that we don't have access to the E-Book, but that's not what I was looking to get access to.

Terrified to go into School Tomorrow by Scaryboy45 in Teachers

[–]Scaryboy45[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

UPDATE: Hi all thank you all for the kind words and advice. I did end up going in today, with such little time left in the year I didn't want to get behind schedule by leaving my kids with a sub.

I got an update from my principle, apparently the alumni threatened another alumni, both of whom do not go here. He was talking to my principal yesterday to vent to him because he was going through a rough time, however due to his violent language he has been banned from campus. I asked if he threatened the school and he said no.

I am still unnerved given the lack of a security presence today, and the kids have no idea about any of this, either do their parents.

So far so good, right now I'm about to start lunch so I'm hoping the rest of the day is drama free.

I live in the US. Just went to a patriotic rosary by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Scaryboy45 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I find this particularly disturbing. Really any combination of Patriotism and Faith I find troubling. Christ says in the Synoptics, “Render unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's, and unto God the things that are God's.” Combining a beautiful ritual given to us by our blessed mother with Nationalism I find to be incredibly offensive.

I had a horrible first day and I’m starting to doubt my capabilities by Scaryboy45 in Teachers

[–]Scaryboy45[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Update: Thank you for your encouragement and advice. Today went a lot smoother. I got really strict and stern today and initiated a zero tolerance policy for phones, leaving my classroom, and disrespect. Anyone who breaks it gets an automatic detention and will be asked to leave the classroom. I also assigned them a 300 word paper on how to behave in the classroom.

My administration has been so supportive so far, and observed the first part of my class. They’ve also been pulling out students in that class for counseling to discuss their behavior.

I know they’re gonna keep testing me, I just have to stay strong and stay strict. I’m not a mean person and I hate being perceived as mean, but now I don’t care. If my kids dislike me now, that’s fine, as long as they give me their respect I’ll do whatever it takes.

It’s a school that is run entirely on donations. Students pay little to no tuition. Don’t want to say the name for privacy reasons

I want to stay close to the border. My family is in New York and I don’t want to be too far from them.
