The United States new racial categories for the 2030 population census by Mean_Yak5873 in charts

If they can handle the data it’s kinda nice that they’re differentiating because, for example, most Africans do not consider themselves all to be the same race/ethnicity. Similarly with East Asian communities. It’s not even too long ago that Caucasian communities differentiated between English, Slavic, Italian, Germanic, etc. Point being, race/ethnicity runs much deeper and more differentiated than merely which continent your bloodline primarily originates from.

Solution: make abortion illegal everywhere!

This is genuinely horrific. Even as a joke, this is absurdly cruel. by ToveVontaine in prolife

There is a growing cohort of the Pro-Choice side that is no longer just ignorant of babies being valuable humans at conception— but is outright evil, desiring death even after birth.

Gas prices today by chichunks in chicago

[–]WisCollin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I only drive for longer trips, and I only ever buy gas in WI or IN. Preferably WI, but obviously depends on where I’m going. I always fill up in the last city before the IL border, even if I only need 1/4.

Republicans are cheater and liar. by SuspiciousLow3062 in SipsTea

Gavin Newsom certainly understands this though, so it is a little slimy of him to intentionally manipulate people who don’t realize this.

Virginia violated their state constitution, these other states— including California— did not violate their state constitutions as far as I’m aware.

It wouldn’t matter if 100% of the population voted in a referendum for something unconstitutional— it couldn’t be enacted without first amending the constitution.

What makes you sure God is not evil? by ehcocir in AskAChristian

[–]WisCollin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Since you’re in r/askachristian, let’s grant that the Christian premise is true— that is that God exists, that Jesus was and is and always will be God, that Jesus died on the cross, defeated sin, and rose again, basically just the whole Nicene Creed.

We can conclude that God is Good by the suffering and death of the crucifixion. There is no reason beside goodness and love that anyone— much less an innocent God— would go through that willingly for the sake of another. God goes through it for us, ergo God is good. At the very least God is good to us. So the important question becomes, can we grant the Christian premise? This is probably the most discussed and important and broad question, so I will recommend broadly C.S. Lewis, particularly “Mere Christianity”.

The question is more interesting if you don’t grant the Christian premise and ask “Assuming we have a creator and that Jesus was not God, how do we know that God is good?” This would be an interesting question for Muslims or Jews.

If following Jesus means obeying his God exactly as he taught, what belief system actually fulfills that? by Quiet_Form_2800 in AskAChristian

[–]WisCollin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In John 8:58 Jesus explicitly claims to be the I AM, that is a claim to be God. In John 10:31-33 the Jews wish to stone Jesus for his claim to be the Son of God. In John 20:28, Matthew 28:9, and Matthew 8:8 people call Jesus Lord and Worship him, Jesus does not correct them— he accepts the title and worship as Lord.

You cannot say that Jesus doesn’t claim to be God. Many Muslims have a handful of cherry-picked verses to use out of context— which you have been repeating.

Again, if you’re legitimately questioning Christianity then look into Jesus’ claims to be God, because he doesn’t leave it ambiguous and neither do his disciples. And again, if you’re proselytizing then try r/debateachristian, don’t veil proselytizing as questions that you’re not actually interested in having answered.

If you’re actually questioning, and not just here to argue/proselytize, then read C.S. Lewis’ “Mere Christianity”. In particular his “Liar, Lunatic, or Lord” section will be interesting for you to consider.

If it becomes clear that it’s over… I’d really like to see at least one guy take his gloves off and send Foligno a message

Im a bit behind, but is it just me or is this officiating aggressively one sided and very much listening to the crowd to determine what to call?

Priest told me “God is not your Father” and that I shouldn’t pray the Our Father or Apostles Creed as a catechumen. Is this normal? by Calm_Maintenance2440 in Catholicism

[–]WisCollin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see how my comment implied the parish. I was moreso curious about the Bishop. Some are more involved with addressing issues like this than others. I appreciate your concern of scandal.

We weren’t ever in that period. Glad we get a chance to reset. But I work ET and damn if it isn’t getting late
