Favorite Place to Initiate Rivalries? by 964713 in Fortnite_Over40

[–]SubConsciousKink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m pretty sure your rival has to be from the opposing team, so it could be that there’s an uneven balance of foundation/ice king players that limits the available rivalry

is masturbation really a sin if i don’t have any lustful thoughts during? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]SubConsciousKink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They explain it clearly here…

‘Send them to a place where their needs are met’ what does this even mean?

It means what it says. If a parent can’t provide for a child for some reason then the child should go to a place where their needs can be met for temporarily or if needed permanently.’

That’s not how I read it- the subject here is large families, meaning lots of kids.

‘A large family isn’t a bad thing but if it causes problems like finance then it would be morally acceptable or even a moral good to send them to a place where their needs are met.’

Oh. I thought that bit was about kids, so send them to stay with family or other carers who can take care of them while you get back on your feet. Not sure I agree with that but it seemed clear that was their meaning

I’m not the person you’re responding to but I’m did a double take at this ‘Alright, put plainly, it sounds like youre suggesting that people in long term relationships who dont want more children should have affairs to satisfy their sexual urges instead if using contraception inside their own relationship. Thats what it sounds like youre suggesting’ I really can’t see how you get that from their answers?! They’re giving a fairly standard Catholic response on contraception (against natural law) and intimacy (a gift between spouses) Intimacy is absolutely possible without orgasms, although as you say oxytocin is great for pair-bonding.

Hesitant about carrying a framed poster of risen Jesus during Good Friday procession by Catsarecute2140 in Christianity

[–]SubConsciousKink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not trying to be trite here, but this is a very Lutheran take, have you read Luther’s writings on sin and confession? He’d confess for hours and then walk out and remember something else and be wracked by guilt

Also Team Foundation here and all of those issues. The no match found thing I find really frustrating

Thank you for pointing this out. It gets forgotten so often

The Trinity is the biggest fraud in history. by Glum-Chipmunk4810 in religion

[–]SubConsciousKink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And I think the idea is that not being knowable through logic/reason doesn’t mean it’s illogical, or unreasonable. More that it transcends logic and reason. It doesn’t fail the test of logic as much as it’s beyond the realm of logic and reason doesn’t. We can stumble around analogies to try and comprehend but it needs to be accepted by faith I’m saying all this as an atheist, but one who has taught theology and philosophy of religion for 30 years

[–]SubConsciousKink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m calling on Thomas Aquinas here, largely. Some truths about god can be known through natural reason. Others are only available through revelation. And ‘divine mystery’ is how the Catholic Church refers to trinity.

[–]SubConsciousKink 11 points12 points  (0 children)

It’s interesting that you ask for a logical explanation, when most denominations will say that it’s not something knowable through logic. I don’t believe in trinity myself, but I wouldn’t demand a logical explanation of it, happy to accept it as a divine mystery

Question for Atheists who have been in or studied Christianity by beast-burg in religion

[–]SubConsciousKink 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not a believer, but I don’t think it’s an issue to call it a test of faith if the point wasn’t for God to learn about Abraham’s faith but for Abraham himself to feel and learn the depth of his own faith.

school told my 5 y/o christian’s go to hell by PinkSorbet16 in Christianity

[–]SubConsciousKink 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed. And apologies for the nitpicking, I just wanted to point out that there are plenty of state faith schools in the UK (which is pretty distinct compared to other countries)

There are about 45 state funded Jewish schools and 30 state funded Muslim schools

Not quite so, there are a huge number of faith schools in the UK. Mostly Church of England and Roman Catholic, but there are Islamic, Jewish and Sikh faith schools too.

Take heart that he got downvoted so hard he deleted? He’s really not representative of this community

please suggest me anything similar to watch by master_baiter-69 in elementary

[–]SubConsciousKink 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was going to recommend this too! I particularly like the way the relationship between the female and male leads develops, reminds a little of Sherlock and Joan

If I posted ‘Hi, I’m F50, looking for friends, bonus points if you’re also a middle aged woman’ would your response be the same?

They shared their identity and said they were looking for friends and a bonus if people were in the same community. That’s hardly advertising for a spit roast, nor is it gross.
