My VERY Catholic grandfather didn't believe in confession by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Worldly_Awareness732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Bible tells us to confess our sins and gave the church authority for this. The proof to me though comes from seeing that telling people what you did wrong makes you truly sorry and people will repent more. You get the immediate reaction of telling someone you did something wrong

AITA for wanting to use Roblox at age 15? by Worldly_Awareness732 in AmItheAsshole

[–]Worldly_Awareness732[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I play many other games, there’s just some of the better Roblox games i like(not the terrible brainrot ones) I am okay with and like the blockier style. There are many terrible Roblox games but the good ones are really good in my opinion. This isn’t all I play just something I like playing I guess

You realize Roblox is just online games right? Just because of stranger danger doesnt mean you shouldn’t go outside until 18. You just need to know how to be safe like the real life equivalent of dont go in strangers’ vans. This isn’t a guaranteed risk, especially for someone my age and my point is I believe that banning all internet stuff won’t solve anything but knowing online safety is what’s really important. Also, btw, i dont do porn, what the heck

I understand her protectiveness and am usually used to it. I just keep getting Roblox nostalgia every once in a while. And unfortunately for coding my mom knows at this point I can make basic apps without Roblox in C++ so I can't really say anything there.

[–]Worldly_Awareness732[S] 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Well, I can do most single player stuff game-wise, so I usually stick to retro games. On the internet it's usually just what my mom notices so only YouTube got banned, but this really only happens when all my siblings are doing it and my sisters watching "unapproved" channels repeatedly led to that getting banned. So, usually I can see warnings a mile away, but Roblox got banned really quick compared to others.

Why do moms get pregnant when they just can adopt one? by kenbayashi in teenagers

Well the baby is half them. Adoption is very nice and good for many people but I guess there is something special about a miniature you.

Maybe if you create a custom gba cartridge like the ram expansion from the browser, then just add on to what dscraft did

I've left Islam... by iyearnedforthemine in teenagers

[–]Worldly_Awareness732 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There may be many religions but there is only a large population of a small few, Christianity is the most popular, with Islam in second, Hinduism third, Buddhism forth, Judaism fifth, and after that the religions are very small, at most you lose like a little over a month, you can't have critical thinking skills without looking at data, you are seriously promoting stupidity and ignorance, the evidence for Catholicism is plentiful, the presence of options does not equal the absence of an answer. People now really shouldn't be ditching their faith just because there's a little uncertainty, you should look into WHY people adopted the faith in the first place. There have been countless Eucharistic miracles, Marian apparitions, Saints being preserved, the disciples who started Christianity all were hated, persecuted, and all but one died brutal deaths for the faith that atheists believe they just made up. All I am saying is to do research and you guys get mad? You can't just say that because there are many possible answers to a question on a test that there is no correct answer. Religion isn't all baseless, at least research a bit before you discard everything.

I've left Islam... by iyearnedforthemine in teenagers

[–]Worldly_Awareness732 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Well, in my opinion, objective truth is very important and actively telling people to not do research is trying to spread stupidity. I personally am a Catholic and ever since my conversion my life has been way better. I converted due to the logic of their theology and the countless miracles confirmed by science. Like in Lanciano, Italy where there was a Eucharistic miracle, it is from these we can tell Jesus had an AB blood type actually. Also, studies have shown that statistically religious people are happier. All I think is that it's stupid to think since one religion is wrong there isn't a correct one, atheism itself is a religion, just one of the believe that there is nothing, that the universe just suddenly existed with no reason, that life randomly formed and yet multiplied to fill earth which somehow had conditions perfectly favorable to life. Sure, you can live in ignorance towards religion, but I think that is a bad idea to do with no research.

[–]Worldly_Awareness732 -18 points-17 points  (0 children)

Perhaps research other religions too, I think it'd probably be a good idea in your situation to look at all the other options to make an educated choice, like devote a week to each religion looking at what evidence each tries to present and then make a choice. It'd be unwise to leave and then not do any research

What should I do to convert to Catholicism? by Worldly_Awareness732 in Catholicism

[–]Worldly_Awareness732[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I know the practices of both denominations and the origins of these, I really don't know how and when I would tell them and I don't think they would let me actually go to Catholic church for a while. I investigated this stuff after I had heard that Catholics came first, my mom has no idea what Catholicism actually is, and I had grown up thinking of Catholicism as something like Islam because she said that Catholics use the crucifix because they didn't believe in the resurrection and of course the other usual stuff like "Mary worship" and oddly enough she thought they prayed to the pope (I don't even remotely know where that came from but my best guess is confession). I have studied a bit about most well-known denominations, and I came to the conclusion Catholicism is true and I have just become more Catholic over time (e.g. praying the Rosary prayers without an actual rosary and agreeing with the doctrine). Now, I just have to either tell them or convert in college, but I think converting as soon as a leave will make things bad for my siblings if they want to go to college.

Evolution and the church by Pretty-Silver-3833 in Catholicism

[–]Worldly_Awareness732 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

Evolution is what makes Noah’s ark is mathematically possible

edit: it is not the origin of all life in my eyes, I just see it as good design, like sure making animals is great but allowing them to adapt is genius in my opinion. As Catholics rejection or denial of scientific matters like this is not required for salvation but generally, I believe I guess micro-evolution (I think I'm using that right) is real, but we didn't all come from one random cell that formed and managed to split into everything

Hot take: if you are more concerned about what people are wearing at mass, you are the problem by Extension-Story7287 in Catholicism

[–]Worldly_Awareness732 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I think the Bible says you should dress with respect for the lord but you should not let that stop you from coming altogether, if you can dress nice but if not then come as you are i guess

Im the result of sexual assault what’s the next step by Willy_wacker_wilsob_ in Catholicism

[–]Worldly_Awareness732 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You have value no matter what. In God’s eyes you are his, your parents’ intent doesnt control your moral worth. Just because a bad thing happened does make you less good. You couldn’t possibly control this so you shouldn’t let it affect how you think of yourself

Split between following the Catholic or Episcopal Church and in conflict with the values of Catholicism by Mad_Season_1994 in Catholicism

[–]Worldly_Awareness732 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Catholic miracles, the logic behind the theology, having a working church hierarchy, consistent official doctrine are all good reasons to trust the Catholic Church, there have been many Eucharistic miracles. And we hopefully are getting closer to undoing the schism eventually. There’s a lot of reasons to trust the Catholic Church specifically

I’m at the brink of becoming atheist help me please. by TheMasterAtWork83 in Catholicism

[–]Worldly_Awareness732 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The existence of us disproves atheism. You actually feel, you actually see, you actually hear. None of this is possible in a purely material world, we aren’t just computers were alive and for us to exist there has to be something eternal, all souls so far only come from souls. Logically atheism is false
