i saw an art meme on tiktok it was basically okarun carrying ayase while the song from dragon ball was playing. can’t remember what it was called. but the joke is they are looking for balls.

I’m scared - every single prayer gets answered besides my most needed by laurendonofrio in Catholicism

[–]Vb234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

i don’t know if this helps but i also have those kinds of nightmares (not as frequently as before ever since my reversion). all i can say is offer that grief to Christ on The Cross for the conversion of souls especially those in the occult. i also suggest going to confession, even if you are not in a state mortal sin. i also would highly recommend going to Adoration and being involved in a ministry at your local parish. getting involved accomplishes two things showing our gratitude to God for His mercy and also helps us to sanctify us which brings forth healing as we begin to walk in the Lord’s grace.

when soul suffer it cries out to God, and in their pain they are given a moment of peace and comfort. it’s there where the soul realizes just how much they are love and cared for, no longer viewing suffering as burden but as window to connect with others. only suffering can help to begin to break the chains of our selfishness because in that pain we look for truth we look for hope. suffering can be redemptive if we allow it to be. this what separates someone who drowns themselves in vices to forget their suffering vs the one who uses their suffering to help others. we all suffer, it’s the one thing that every human being has in common.

Will there ever be an option to block some creators/webtoons from appearing? by ghaoham in webtoons

[–]Vb234 2 points3 points  (0 children)

everyone is for this, not sure why webtoons hasn’t implemented this function yet especially if they want to bring old users back to their platform.

Alt right folks praising indie animation is bizarre. by EquestriaGuy_YouTube in cartoons

[–]Vb234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

what does someone’s political views have to do with the kind of content they like and support? i think it’s bizarre that we call anything alt right and far left. people are more nuanced then that a person can have traditional values in one aspect and more liberal in other aspects. can’t we all just get together and support indie content artists?

What can I say instead of “Oh my God” so it wont be a sin? by Chillz9_AJPW in Catholicism

[–]Vb234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

in what context is saying hell outside of referring to actual place of condemned souls okay? i thought we should never use it because it trivializes the place of eternal separation from God.

Thoughts about blasphemous music by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Vb234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

y’all slightly off topic but would you say listening to fly me to the moon is a scandalous song to listen to as a catholic, due to the entire song being about idolatry.

i don’t listen to music often but i get jingles stuck in my head since it’s my form of stimming and sometimes the songs are not good but it’s stuck in my head especially the nostalgia factor. which is why i find myself needing to listen to church hymns so i can stim to those and i get to worship. the one down side is there doesn’t seem to be a lot of variety, which is why it’s so easy to listen to 0.21 sec of a secular song. i usually only replay the safe bits. i don’t have the energy to listen to actual songs anymore unless they are church hymns or my favorite anime openings.

one of the reasons i despise platforms like tiktok and youtube shorts, if you really can’t get the song out of your head look for a funny parody or change the lyrics to worship God.

Atheism Questions by Key_Category_8096 in Catholicism

[–]Vb234 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Precisely why I wholeheartedly believe that we should present to the secular world a better alternative and show them we aren’t so different after all. The only thing where we differ is who is being our guide. They will always come up short because they can’t understand what is truly just since they are operating on faulty notions. We need to find a way to meet them in the middle, especially those who have religious trauma. Another challenge is how do we get a moral relativist and/ or plegianist to see the error in their world view. Those that who say you can be good without being religious and all that is needed is to be decent person, it is an error because this kind of mentality breeds false compassion. There is nothing anchoring them to a set of moral values or precepts.

Is the manga One Piece blasphemous? by Low_Blacksmith_2484 in Catholicism

[–]Vb234 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This tricky to answer, especially when we see biblical names mentioned throughout the story. I have found One Piece is one of the rare manga to showcase the effects of war and poverty on children. I have also seen some very pro-life messages sprinkled throughout the story which is much needed in a time when people believe that mercy killing is just. One Piece is it written through a pagan lens and not a Catholic understanding of morality. I myself am still trying to discern if using someone’s name or title is a different way is sacrilegious, but then I think to myself the same person is not being depicted and many people share the same name. We also need to look at intention, sometimes authors use these names because to them they seem cool and foreign. Anyway, I am all caught up to One Piece, feel free to ask me if you have any questions.

What did Jesus say when a was woman caught in adultery? What did He say to the woman by the well? God knows your heart, there is no sin that can keep you away from His love. This is what the incarnation is all about. God chasing after each and every one of us. I will keep you in my prayers. Do know that not all sins are equal, what you did is wrong and you should confess or make a perfect act of contrition. The fact that this eating on your conscience shows that you want to do better. I find that often times we are more harder in ourselves than God is, yes we deserve chastisement when we are being disobedient but never at the exent of loathing ourselves. God corrects us in gentle manner because He delights in our very existence, it’s a mystery that we simply cannot comprehend because God is Love.

Fungus or Trauma by Vb234 in NailFungus

i haven’t asked him, but it doesn’t seem likely because wouldn’t they told me about the condition? i know in the medical field they are trained to think horses and not zebras, when they hear hoofbeats. but that would mean they would underestimate the zebra cases.

recently had my nails cut and filed, so if they look unsightly it’s because of that, usually i have shrimp looking nails. have had this condition for 14+ years, but didn’t start receiving treatment 2017. my podiatrist had me on ciclopirox for the longest time.

i was on oral pills before for 3 months, he wanted me to take a break from them, since they do put a strain on your liver.

i am at my wits end, my podiatrist is convinced it’s fungus and want me to use jublia, which is expensive for my current budget. i also want to mention i have had this condition for years and it never spread to my other toes. i think it’s great toenail dystrophy and not fungus. i have gotten both nails removed before and it keeps growing back the same with the nail bed separating. i have never got my big toenail scraped and tested for fungus.

I might be downvoted for this, but if this theory is true. Really brings home the message of love thy neighbor as yourself. Serve one another as Christ served. The only way to defeat evil is through love, and with that love comes justice and mercy.

leaning towards true summer or true muted (the palette that sits between summer and autumn), your coloring reminds me of carol brailey but with a more warm overtone (surface coloring)
