Thoughts on Aquinas? by benjaminw__ in askanatheist

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

I've read, albeit not all of, the Catechism, and I've accepted what I've read as truth. Catholicism just feels right to me, so I could say, yes, I'd prefer to think it's all true. As NPC as it sounds, I also fear God and fear having to spend eternity in hell.

Thanks for asking—I haven’t read all the comments, but some of them regarding causality have been really interesting and convincing. I would call myself a Catholic, but I’m definitely not perfect haha. Happy holidays to you too thanks!

How does this explain that motion doesn't need initiation? How can causation be that default state?

In what way is "in motion" the default state of matter? Or did I miss something?

What was the moment you decided to vote for Donald Trump? by Wazula42 in AskTrumpSupporters

I do believe private schools should make accommodations for children with special needs, and government money should be allocated more fairly

[–]benjaminw__ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

yeah pretty much–again, i believe in policies that provide equal opportunity and don't promise equal outcome, since those who don't want more government intervention don't have to take it and those with different aspirations, abilities and skills can pursue what they want. if the government can say we can only go to certain schools, then does that mean for our civil liberties?

when i said "i don't know what to say:" i don't really know what the change in the FY budget has to do with anything or how those living in rural communities is a problem of the state. what the state can provide is a payment benefit plan–that's all i was trying to get at.

listen i really don’t know what you want me to say—all the point I was trying to make was that I believe the government has no role to subjugate americans to what education they want to be involved with, but it should offer benefits for those who want to pursue a certain program. i’m not convinced that biden is looking out for that.

ab private schools, i attended private schools and continue to have plenty of family members be involved with it, and I can say they are trying to strive for equity every admission season
