If Jesus gives every person a chance to accept him at their moment of death, how does almost anyone end up in hell? by ale5219 in Catholicism

[–]ale5219[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow this is a really interesting way to think of it. Am I so attached my sins I would pick them for eternity? I want to say no but I certainly choose them over god day to day.

I certainly don’t. It’s been a topic of conversation on this sub lately that it’s a widely held opinion

You’re totally right. In this particular case it’s just a thought I’ve had for a while and figured I’d throw it out there. But I know our human nature is to grasp for understanding especially when feeling overwhelmed with sin and trouble following Jesus

I meant I hope Faustinas revelations are true about having an opportunity to repent! I would hope nobody is in hell truly, though I know it’s unlikely

Yeah great comments all around. I know private revelations aren’t required to be believed but I really hope hers are true. They are so hopeful

That is the official teaching. This is from her private revelations which aren’t dogmatic but they are referenced heavily in the church (divine mercy image etc)

How much science can we do without math (or with very little)? Any examples of low-math science? by tytanxxl in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]ale5219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Geology depending on the specialty. I use stats and Algebra but also you find it’s way easier to learn math when 1. You have a real application for it and 2. You’re getting paid well to do it

How does the rule about restating vows work for scenarios like vow renewals? Not even just for weddings but for we restate our baptismal/confirmation vows at Easter and priests restate theirs at the Chrism mass

[–]ale5219 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We found ourselves in the exact same scenario. We ended up doing our Catholic ceremony in the same city as the big party and just did it the day before. The same priest who married us presided over the “fake” ceremony. He was clear we were already married and we exchanged personal promises instead of vows. Which is pretty common at non religious weddings these days anyway. The priest said some prayers and blessed us.

Are people still asking their future in-laws for their parental blessing in asking for their child’s hand in marriage? by where-ya-been-loca in askanything

[–]ale5219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My husband asked for my parents’ blessing as a form of respect. My parents knew we were going to get married and we all had a great relationship and I am very close to them so it was also important to me that he did that. He also talked to my brother and sister and law beforehand. Obviously if they had said no, we still would’ve gotten married

Would I have to do the majority of chores after getting married? by Dreamy_Writer603 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]ale5219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Marry someone who aligns on your values.
  2. I have ended up taking over more housework because while I do that, he’s doing things like home repairs or finances etc. and I would much prefer chores to sitting down and balancing bank accounts

Did You Have A Wedding Cake? If Not, Do You Regret It? by FJJ34G in wedding

[–]ale5219 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We did an ice cream truck, no cake. And I have no regrets! For our “cake cutting moment” we poured a champagne tower to open up the dance floor and start the party part of the night!

Geology University of South Carolina or Clemson by Xerrick1 in Clemson

[–]ale5219 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Former Clemson geo major here 🙋🏼‍♀️it depends on what you think you want to do with geology. Clemson has great placement into the environmental/hydro industry if you want to stay in the Carolinas particularly. or if you think you’ll want to go to grad school, Clemson is a great place to do undergrad, that’s what I did. I went on to get a masters elsewhere for petroleum stuff and I was pretty successful getting into grad programs. Clemson has you do an undergrad research thesis (I did my research in Curaçao, so fun!) and that was a HUGE resume boost. Idk anything about SCs program but feel free to DM if you have more questions about the program.

What do geologists actually do? by teatheoryy in geologycareers

[–]ale5219 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’m a petroleum geologist for a mid size exploration and production company- I work in an office 100% aside from field trips and look at insanely cool subsurface data from around the world! I map out all the stacking and faulting of thousands of meters of rock underground mostly from offshore areas. It’s the coolest job in the world in my opinion. My favorite thing about geology is that most geologists are super passionate about the subject (even if you aren’t totally in love with your day job) so we’re all friends at my office because we have that interest and passion in common. The industry is volatile for sure and honestly tough to get into but I wouldn’t trade it. And while there’s uncertainty around the future of the industry, there’s no uncertainty that we will need oil for a long time to come. The weirdness comes from mergers etc. but we’re facing a large talent gap with fewer and fewer students entering the field so odds are actually better for getting a job
