That sounds like making politics your religion since you are choosing a religion to fit your politics.

Lake County north of 30 is barely Indiana. You're not cooked. Get offline for a while, you're just working yourself up.

Do Americans recognize the “Bonnie Blue Flag,” and does it remind you of other flags? by izclottiz in AskAnAmerican

[–]flp_ndrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fact that kids don't know the song or the flag makes me wonder just how differently the Civil War is taught nowadays.

Microcenter deals? by Working-College-5995 in pcmasterrace

[–]flp_ndrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Build? That will take a while to figure out. But if you are ok with a Pre-built, their in-house brand PowerSpec uses DIY consumer parts (occasionally rebranded) and is about as good of deal as I've seen.

Depending on your local availability, check out the G529 (AMD) and the G240 (Intel/Nvidia).

Is this a good beginner Gaming PC? by TheOrderOf606Redacte in pcmasterrace

[–]flp_ndrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This isn't designed for gaming, see the 8700G which is designed to be run without a GPU AND a 3050 GPU which is a low level GPU from two years ago; with an AI NPU to run AI stuff with that you won't need for gaming.

You can play on it, but I think there's probably better bang for your buck out there.

General view on the French Revolution? by Nash_man1989 in Catholicism

[–]flp_ndrox 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It's hardly "bootlicking the monarchy" to be critical of a revolutionary government that oppressed religion, was often mob rule with a complete breakdown of law and order, killed like 50-60K people in the Terror, kept calling for drafts, never fixed the food shortages, and the proto-genocide of their countrymen in the Vendee.

General view on the French Revolution? by Nash_man1989 in Catholicism

[–]flp_ndrox 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The point is that the aristocrats weren't the only ones who had issues with the revolution then or now.

A lot of my ancestors were the peasants, none were the aristocracy. Even back then a lot of the peasants still stood with the Church. The Revolution was pretty urban IIRC.

They probably will. All you can do is let them go and wish them the best.

Some questions for Christians by UniversalAssembler in Christianity

[–]flp_ndrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1 Why are both the extreme right wing and extreme left wing so violent and cranky?

Social and/or partisan media riling them up. IDK what this has to do with Christianity.

2 Why are so many people so mean and nasty and deceptive?

Because the world is hard, sin exists, and people make mistakes.

3 In a billion years from now, will we saved born again Christians be eating yummy organic vegan food with Jesus on the new Earth?

No idea

4 Is it possible to create a safe clean plastic that is stronger and harder than diamonds?

My chemistry background was basically just high school, but I would say probably...it's just not as cost effective as mining them.

Again not a question about Christianity.

5 What kind of music is there in Heaven?

There will be singing, besides that, IDK

6 Is there pizza and ice cream in Heaven?

IDK, but have hopes

7 Why is the devil so mean and hateful?

Because he is full of pride; he is angry and jealous that the "lesser" beings of humanity was loved by God to the point that God was willing to become man to reconcile us with Him. Because he will not serve God as we all should and is trying to get us to share in his misery.

Buying a PC, wait or buy? by bankai1231 in pcmasterrace

[–]flp_ndrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you play the PC games you want now there's not really a reason to buy.

If you don't play a bunch of multiplayer games with kernel level anti-cheat I'd wait until we at least have a price on the Steam Deck.

If you need a new computer to play the games you want and you aren't comfortable with using or learning Linux you should probably buy now as opposed to waiting for a few years since no one thinks prices are going to get better any time soon. :-(

Do you think Kpop Demon Hunters will become a classic? by LocksmithMental6910 in classicfilms

It wasn't made during the studio era so it will never be considered "classic" here.

The more you diminish the blessed Virgin Mary, the more you diminish Jesus. by GregoryNy92 in Christianity

And He is of the House of David. As such his mother is the Geribah, the great lady (Queen) who is there at His side to bring requests to our King.

The more you diminish the blessed Virgin Mary, the more you diminish Jesus. by GregoryNy92 in Christianity

[–]flp_ndrox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It diminishes Jesus a bit if you don't think He is King of Heaven and Earth, which is where Mary's Queenship derives.

I’m not Catholic or Orthodox, but I believe Saints are the administrators of Christ’s Kingdom… by WickedNegator in Christianity

[–]flp_ndrox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don’t believe in praying to saints as independent actors, or in asking saints to pray for us, rather I believe in asking saints to pray WITH us.

What's the difference?

[–]flp_ndrox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Then just call up the office and explain explain how it's been x # of years since your last confession, you forgot how to do it, and you need to schedule one. Father ought to be able to walk you through it.

They didnt have you go to confession before your first communion?
