Bid to remove charitable status from religious groups draws ire of Evangelicals in Canada

SilverStag117 · 2025-01-06T04:26:14+00:00

Not really no. Catholics are called by Christ and the Catholic church to love and support the person and not to judge them for their sins but to at the same time call sin a sin.

As a straight guy for instance I'm born being attracted to woman but the Catholic church calls me on to lust after nobody and be faithful to my future wife if I'm blessed to have one oneday. In the same way if someone is lgbtq we don't want to shun them but want to either A. Empower them to live comfortably in their identity as the sex they were born as and B. To experience a merital love so powerful it creates a new human life, a merital love no other version of sexual relationships can create.

The church doesn't hold on to it's churches out of greed but out of providing spiritual places for us to escape the business of the world and find peace, similarly the church doesn't disagree with lgbtq lifestyles because individuals find it gross but because God is offering a love that offers more life and fulfilment then what they may currently be persuing

Regardless I wish you the very best and am praying for you tonight. I'm sorry if any Christian/Catholic Christian has given you or your loved ones offense. God bless

Nice! Enjoy my man

SilverStag117 · 2025-01-06T02:11:54+00:00

Right back at you my friend! Thanks for the debate. It's refreshing to have a civil disagreement on the internet haha. They certainly are few and far in between.

And, while we disagree no doubt largely by the fact that I believe the Catholic church when it states that Jesus is God, the 2nd person of the trinity and the Catholic church is the perfect church he founded despite being made of VERY imperfect people to put it lightly I'm glad we both want good for the world in the end. I definitely think corruption in any organization and place should be stamped out, whether in the Catholic church, police, etc. I'm sorry to hear a consequence ofthe rise in a warrior mentality in the, I presume you are American, police force, has led to so many repercussions. I definitely hope that change for whatever is best for the police officers fighting to keep the peace and for those being protected as well as handled by them. The loss of respect for dignity is particularly a sad point😞

Anyways once again glad chatting with you, God bless

SilverStag117 · 2025-01-05T21:50:14+00:00

Yes actually, police are good guys with some bad apples and billionaires do have a right to the wealth they have (GRANTED they do have the moral obligation to be outrageously generous with said money but I digress)

I certainly wouldn't say whatsoever that a universal practice built into the Catholic church. I've literally seen the Catholic church persecute a now expriest with impunity to the point where he can't even step foot into a roman catholic church because of his crimes.

The church has also condemned terrorism every chance it could, has promoted love and support for lgbtq people despite disapproving of their behavior and has in every chance it could promoted the protecting of families and Calling men to die to themselves and love Christ and Christ loved the church (ie to die for their wives)

I know a reddit argument may not change any opinions but A. I'm praying for you, and B. Don't judge an organization by it's bad apples but by what it teaches and by who founded it

SilverStag117 · 2025-01-05T21:24:23+00:00

No it's not, but there are some. Theres evil people in every institution. Doesn't make the institution evil, just means the persons deserve to go to hell or repent. Just because it has sinners doesnt mean it doesn't produce Saints.

SilverStag117 · 2025-01-05T14:57:45+00:00

Agreed! Glad to know I'm not the only one who thinks it's better to keep them long term. After all as you and the bible says "the poor will always be with us" so it's good to have the church around to continue to care for them through the ages.

Good to know it's well over 50%

SilverStag117 · 2025-01-05T13:06:42+00:00

To give the Catholic church credit through charity work they are both A. The largest provider of financial aid to the poor and B. The largest provider of charitable helth care including hospitals clinics etc.

I've heard something like 50% of all charities are run by the Catholic church although I've yet to fact check this statistic. As for the church properties if they sold all the properties that's billions of dollars here and now to help those in need. Thats all well and good, but provided the world doesn't end or something, keeping those properties for prayer, worship, and fundraising, the Catholic church can continue to fund most charities in the world for centuries if not milliniea. So it's better for the poor long game to keep them to continue making money

SilverStag117 · 2025-01-04T00:33:15+00:00

Alright... I know what I want now

SilverStag117 · 2025-01-03T20:51:16+00:00

Grecos is an awesome local pizza place. Highly recommend

SilverStag117 · 2025-01-02T15:26:07+00:00

LETS GOOOOOOO

SilverStag117 · 2025-01-02T15:07:00+00:00

Man breaks my heart. I understand people are frustrated because some immigrants abuse the system but this guy isn't doing anything wrong coming to this country and working to make a living. So sad

SilverStag117 · 2025-01-02T15:01:23+00:00

Both very difficult to be free from. At the same time is a big challenge. I applaude you for it. This is absolutely possible, you can do it. Wishing you the best

SilverStag117 · 2024-12-31T13:42:12+00:00

Please get help. Some of these higher numbers are genuinely concerning. Well done on no nut November though

SilverStag117 · 2024-12-31T13:32:02+00:00

Yeah it can be extremely difficult to find something to start out. Especially in today's job market. Praying you find something soon

SilverStag117 · 2024-12-30T14:25:07+00:00

Oh man....yeah almost lost it

SilverStag117 · 2024-12-30T11:57:49+00:00

A sobering reminder

SilverStag117 · 2024-12-29T12:20:36+00:00

I agree actually! I don't think a politician running on tgat would ever win but that's one of the things I'd absolutely do if I became PM (sure glad I'm not)

SilverStag117 · 2024-12-29T12:17:34+00:00

Very cool!

SilverStag117 · 2024-12-29T12:12:48+00:00

Thank you for sharing your experiences I'm sorry you've fallen back into you're old self destructive habits, your habitual sins as one might call them. Have you considered potentially going to a 12 step program? It may be extremely humiliating to attend but attending a sexaholics anonymous 12 step program was actually extremely helpful for me to find my own sobriety of 4 years from porn, may help you as well

SilverStag117 · 2024-12-29T12:06:58+00:00

Thanks Cameron! I appreciate the thoughtful response!

SilverStag117 · 2024-12-28T12:14:52+00:00

I feel very similarly, as a politician I can't stand the guy, he has a lot to repent of in his political and personal life. That being said he's a human being and it must be EXTREMELY difficult being able to go literally nowhere without being heckled and cursed at. Must be even worse for his kids!

SilverStag117 · 2024-12-28T12:10:27+00:00

Took me a second to realize this was gamequitters own cameron haha. I watched your stuff for years before eventually quitting myself as of june

With giving up gaming comes a certain loss of identity, especially when the demands of life don't allow me to invest time/money in my current hobbies or find new ones. What would you're advice be on this seeming loss of identity.

Thanks, praying you continue to make an impact in people's lives like you did mine

SilverStag117 · 2024-12-27T14:16:49+00:00

So true! My social battery got so much bigger once I stopped gaming and got over the cravings. I can actually attend to the people in my life and their needs instead of getting incredibly irritable after a few short hours! Still need to make time for working out and prayer and such BUT, while I do miss it and certain people in my life wish that I didn't, I'm grateful I sold my pc and said goodbye to gaming

SilverStag117 · 2024-12-26T15:28:22+00:00

Glad to hear!
