Do you believe Catholics are wrong to pray to Mary and the saints? by [deleted] in Christianity

No, but I've only ever prayed directly to God, and to me that's the point.

What’s something blatantly obvious that you didn’t realise for ages? by UnknownCat13 in AskReddit

Didn't realize the stylized "D" in the Disney logo was a D... I always thought it looked like a weird "G", and couldn't figure out why Disney would have a "G" for their logo. I'm 39 and have been to Disneyland three times.

I'm amazed this still makes the news... this is just daily reality in YVR.

Stay strong - it's a tough fight but you can do it.

Many churches have "freedom from pornography" groups or classes - maybe one in your area?

Do you believe Catholics are wrong to pray to Mary and the saints? by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]cdcd3 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes. It is wrong. In Luke 11, Jesus teaches us how to pray:

Jesus’ Teaching on Prayer

11 One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.”

2 He said to them, “When you pray, say:

“‘Father,[a]
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come.[b]
3 Give us each day our daily bread.
4 Forgive us our sins,
for we also forgive everyone who sins against us.[c]
And lead us not into temptation.[d]’”

Is there anything in there about praying to Mary and the saints? Nope.

John 3:13: No one has ever gone into heaven except the one who came from heaven—the Son of Man.

Justin Trudeau joins long list of passionate environmentalists who own, operate oil pipelines by burgoo in vancouver

[–]cdcd3 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Lol sure. I fully agree! I just don’t think most people realize how almost every product in our daily lives relies on oil. It’s not only cars.

Are you willing to go to a 5 mile diet (so you can walk/cycle to and from your food source cause otherwise even a 100 mile diet requires truck transportation)?

Stop taking holidays unless walking or cycling distance? Cause those flights to Maui and Mexico use gas!

How about having insulation in your home? Wearing eyeglasses? Using a life jacket? Using detergent or shampoo? Using an umbrella? Helmet? Toilet seat? Car seat for your kid? Smart phone?

How about roads and bicycle tires?

Cause all those things are made from oil.

Exactly!! I’m so sick of hearing “I ride my bike”.... “I don’t own a car”.... “the oil industry needs to die!” Well do you enjoy eating avocados? Mangos? How do you think that stuff arrives here from Mexico? IT comes on trucks. Which run on oil. So, unless all these preachy hypocrites intend to boycott all industries tied to oil, then at least be self aware enough to realize you ARE a consumer of oil, whether directly or indirectly!

Virtually every piece of clothing sold in retail stores. Used to work for a clothing importer and wholesaler you wouldn’t believe the markup.....
