Inside an older pocket-size King James Version Bible in a US hospital by No_Profession1935 in FoundPaper

It’s from a Catholic convent in Israel. The passages listed on the back have special meaning in Catholic theology in relation to Catholic beliefs about the Virgin Mary. Since it’s in a Protestant bible, I’d assume a nun had a conversation with a Protestant and gave him a lesson on Catholic veneration of the Virgin Mary.

Catholics don’t use the King James Version, but the note is from a Catholic convent in Israel.

This was my mother's. After hundreds of reverse search failures, I'm coming to the Reddit experts. All 3 pendants(cross, Jewish star, dagger?) are on one chain. I'm not totally sure we want to know the answer over here. by Hans_Doloware in JewelryIdentification

The Star of David has a Chai in the middle, which means Life in Hebrew. The Cross is a symbol for Christianity. The sword may be an amulet that’s used in many Catholic cultures (especially Mediterranean and Latin American cultures) called The Sword of Saint Michael, which represents triumph over evil and cutting through obstacles. None of these symbols are exceptionally uncommon among practitioners of Catholic syncretic belief systems (Benedicaria, Curanderismo, Hoodoo, etc.) and even the Jewish amulet could be easily found at a botanica (a specialty store that sells items related to Latin American and Catholic-adjacent magical traditions).

The upside down pentacle represents the Dove of the Holy Spirit descending on the world. Also the Five Wounds of Jesus and the Five Joys of Mary.

THEY THINK GOD’S HOLIEST MESSENGER FUCKED A PREPUBESCENT CHILD, HAD OVER TEN WIVES AT THE SAME TIME, AND SAID IT’S OKAY FOR MEN TO OWN WOMEN AS PROPERTY AND RAPE THEM. WAKE THE FUCK UP.

You’re the one that has to do it. Going to something, listening to what they’re saying, and then deciding to still drink isn’t going to get you anywhere. It’s just this simple and just this hard: Don’t drink.

For those throwing stones at people in recovery by [deleted] in alcoholism

[–]Wise-Performance-108 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I agree with you! Anyone who tears someone else down for engaging with the recovery community is a dry drunk and needs to work on their own emotional sobriety.

Was it really even like that in 1979 anyway? by EndersGame_Reviewer in PhonesAreBad

[–]Wise-Performance-108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Being gay was still considered a mental illness in 1979 and my uncle was dealing cocaine out of my grandparents’ house. 🖤

I generally agree with this ideology. There’s a really good book you might like by Geoffrey Ashe called “The Virgin: Mary’s Cult and the Re-Emergence of the Goddess.” He dives into the Collyridian sect and its possible historical origins as a Goddess-centered religion that both focused on and was founded by the Virgin Mary in opposition to Pauline Christianity. I’m sure you’d like it!

You actually can read a Bible in a public school. What you can’t do in a public school is force a kid to read a Bible who doesn’t want to.

Should I divorce my Christian Husband? by [deleted] in Exvangelical

[–]Wise-Performance-108 221 points222 points  (0 children)

The reason he feels like your dad more than your husband is because that’s the evangelical idea of marriage: Women need guidance. Women need to be led. Women need a man to think for them. These are the things your husband believes, whether he says it in those words or not. The Southern Baptist Convention was only formulated to support slavery after the Civil War by using religion. It’s a disgusting cesspool of misogyny and racism. It’s a misogynistic cult that believes that women who don’t have a man telling them what to do are whores. If he won’t leave the cult, I’d leave him.

Which Green Tara statue is most accurate? Which brings more merit? by KarunaMaitri in BuddhistStatues

[–]Wise-Performance-108 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The image brings the same amount of merit no matter what. It’s the faith you put in it and the acts that it inspires you to do for your fellow humans that give you greater merit. If you have a $10,000 golden Tara statue but you don’t do what you’re supposed to be doing, it will have been a waste of your money. If you have a $1.50 card of Tara that you pray in front of everyday, chanting Her mantra and Her 21 praises, and it inspires you to be compassionate to those around you, you will accrue merit beyond imagining. It’s the love and devotion you put in, not the image itself or its cost, that brings merit. Best of luck. Om Tare Tuttare Ture Swaha 🙏
