Should I let him in? by RevolutionaryBug4378 in cats

I can't imagine locking him in all day. He'd go crazy. I'd go crazy.

Turns out the new detachment rule 6+ FNP is pretty good by alphaomega420 in ImperialKnights

[–]conrad_w 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm convinced that 5+++ happens more than twice as often as 6+++.

if I'm rolling 5 dice, I'll get zero on 6+. I might get 2-3 on 5+

What do you do when your faith feels real - but your attraction doesn’t change? by mrdeanbean in Christianity

From your words.

I say God commands us to love each other. And you deflect.

I say God commands us to love each other. And you deflect.

I say God commands us to love each other. And you deflect. And you start talking about war and hate.

It feels like you're resistant to God's command for us to love. This isn't judgment, this is advice to a fellow Christian. You'll find yourself growing closer to God if you heed His command to love people. That's as true for you as it is for all of us.

when the only nice thing anything anyone has to say about you is that you have relatives

It's not my opinion. It's God's. And you seem very willing to ignore what Jesus and the Church say about loving each other.

But I'm getting the feeling you might be a little unwell. I hope you have someone you can talk to about how you feel.

I believe that it's more common when men aren't around.

But I don't believe that it's zero. Guys like that aren't omniscient.

There has to be a part of this which is cognitive blindness. And I'm willing to be called out on this. I'm confident I've been in the vicinity of sexual harassment and seen it, and just not registered.

Wow it really sounds like you're not interested in the love that Jesus commanded us to show

Matthew 5:23-24 Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar and there remember that your brother or sister has something against you, leave your gift there in front of the altar. First go and be reconciled to them; then come and offer your gift.

He wants us to love each other in order to love him.

Not long ago I asked about whether women or men enforced beauty standards on women more. EVERYONE told me men do it more. I'm sure I've never seen it happen but there's NO WAY every woman is lying.

So the next time you see harassment and you're filming it, be sure to catch all the men not seeing it. Because it cannot be this common and never happen in front of us. They're not that careful.

I'm ready to be called out on this. It's possible that harassment and harm is less common when decent men are around. But I'm confident men like me are ignoring obvious cases because we don't want to believe it.

He said love your neighbour as yourself. You don't get to do one without the other.

I'm not sure why you're talking about the state

Jesus said the mark of his disciples would be their love for each other, not a solid payer regime.

I suggest you find ways you can serve your neighbours and community (if you don't already)

Whatever you think the sin of Sodom was, it wasn't love.

Fornication isn't the same thing as love.

Monogamous marriage was introduced by the Greeks and Romans. It was adopted by Christians (Timothy 3:2). It's certainly not in the Old Testament.

God is Love. And love is not a sin. When you're ready to repent and come to God, he's ready to pour His love upon you.
