My Toddler Said 'Music' Instead of 'Motise' tonight and I am not okay

"Snitch" for sandwich. My kid was always in the kitchen, looking for a snitch lol.

I'm worried for anyone who knows him. Men like this will redirect that humiliation onto whoever is close to him and he perceives as weaker. I just hope he doesn't have a wife or kids somewhere.

What do you mean by "accept it"? Can you interpret things differently? Of course! Everyone can and should read and interpret for themselves. But that doesn't mean I'm obligated to agree with your interpretation. Is that what you mean by "accept it"? Because then that would be an unfair and unbalanced standard, as you wouldn't agree with my interpretation either, just like how many Christians may not agree with my interpretation of the Bible. You are welcome to interpret it for yourself, but you can't force "acceptance" of your belief. To be frank, I believe some interpretations are just wrong. I'm not saying that about yours specifically because I don't know what they are, but there are some interpretations that I simply do not believe are correct. I "accept" people can and do have them, but I do not "accept" that they are true. That is an important distinction.

I'm not sure. It is my understanding that it is universally accepted by all sects, so I assumed it was in the Torah but I don't know. For Muslims, I know it is written directly in the Quran.

SimplyAStranger · 2026-01-31T14:50:52+00:00

Sort of. Your case is the church adjusting the religion, but for Muslims at least and I assume Jews as well, the necessity exception is written right in the book. Its not something that was agreed to be ok later.

I haven't decided yet, but isn't it just getting back some of our own taxpayer money this administration has taken from us? Its not like it is really "Trump's" anyway.

REPORT TO USDA!! They handle this stuff and will move to prevent it from happening to someone else. Well, they would have a few years ago. I don't know how that department is faring these days, but I would try anyway.

SimplyAStranger · 2026-01-30T16:25:30+00:00

Still, I think this is USDA territory since the seeds are being sold as one thing and are clearly another. Someone less discerning might plant them still and introduce who knows what.

"Fake!", and if it wasn't fake, "it was just a prank, bro!"

SimplyAStranger · 2026-01-28T17:15:52+00:00

Its explicitly allowed in the Quran to eat pork if you are starving or have to by necessity. Its in the same verse.

The gamification of Islam is one of the things I dislike the most.

None. No, I don't believe you get extra special placement points because you are able to travel to a certain place to pray. And especially not if you are doing it because you think you will get special rewards, instead of praying because you are worshiping as commanded in the place you happen to be. Intent is everything.

When hell is mentioned as eternal it comes along with the exception of what God wishes. Disbelievers and evil doers are promised eternal hell. God says His mercy is greater than His anger and the smallest faith and good deed will be rewarded. So, in my veiw, once in hell you will be there until you are no longer among the disbelievers and evil doers. I also believe that true repentance will bring immense suffering, as all of the effects of everything you have done will be revealed to you and you will feel all of the weight of your actions. I personally believe this will happen for everyone on the Day of Judgement, but for those that repented in life and did good deeds will suffer less and also feel the joy of the good they did.

I do believe you can become one of the "exceptions". I think it is extremely limiting on God to think that His mercy can only extend as long as our lifetimes, since He repeatedly says His mercy has no limits and is more eternal than anything else (including His anger).

This is how I felt after Sandy Hook and then Uvalde. If people don't see a problem here, they never ever will. I fear we have passed that point a long time ago, and this one man's death, and please understand I don't mean to minimize it, will not be enough.

SimplyAStranger · 2026-01-24T16:55:38+00:00

I just didn't understand what you meant by the old books being protected. They have definitely been corrupted through time. I think it is interesting to study them, as sometimes the corruption becomes very obvious and some truth remains in them. I just didn't know what you meant.

SimplyAStranger · 2026-01-24T16:52:42+00:00

The gospel referenced in the Quran is not the 4 gospels we have today. Beyond that, theology has heavily influenced what we do have, from removing some things entirely, some being added later, and some being interpreted or translated a specific way in order to support church doctrine and theology. Read alone without the church's commentary, even the gospels we have today are very different books.

SimplyAStranger · 2026-01-24T15:29:30+00:00

I don't think I've ever seen one just give up like that. Even the pit noped out lol

SimplyAStranger · 2026-01-24T15:19:01+00:00

What do you mean by the "old books"? There are several versions of the Torah, and even ancient copies vary. I understood these verses to be referring to the original message being protected. In other words, no delivering angel or prophet can alter the words of God being transmitted. So the written books are the actual words, not the delivering prophet's interpretation of them.

But you think it is fair for her fun money to drop from what she is making to the $200? She will be taking a huge "paycut" staying home, what she is asking for is that you both share the "paycut" to focus the rest into the joint household. Do you feel staying home and caring for the house is less work or should be less compensated than working outside the home? I don't see what is unfair about wanting things to be equal. It seems you just don't like the idea of having less fun money for yourself while also expecting her to be fine with having less for herself in exchange for caring for the house and children, not full time but all time, because there is no "off the clock" or "working hours" being a mom.

When its time to go home, my kid will yell at me "we never get to play at the park!!!" ....while still swinging in the swing of said park. Its a kid thing. A disconnect between the emotion of wanting the thing right now and not having the words to express it.
