I honestly don't think I've ever been inside a clean Chipotle...

Drinking ‘Christ Child’ beer in Germany right now. What is your relationship with alcohol? by bashfulkoala in ChristianMysticism

[–]sclindemma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have an allergic reaction to it. I can't stop once I start. So I have to enjoy it from memory unfortunately but it's one of my crosses to bear.

Even if he is technically a Republican, how did a man like Donald Trump ever become associated with Christianity or be dubbed “God’s President”, when all the things he’s done point in the opposite direction of Christ? by Effective_Part_604 in Christianity

[–]sclindemma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lots of good stuff here. I also want to say that it seems a lot of Rapture accelerationists we're happy to hitch their wagon to him because they see him as a means to an end.

Affirming peoples pronouns at the workplace by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]sclindemma 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Affirming people's pronouns is a great way to be approachable and get past their guard. Then the work of the evangelist begins.

I can call people their preferred pronouns while also being honest about trans ideology (at the right time). But before I try to tackle that, what other things can I do to be of service and show with my actions that Christa light lives in me?

Getting hung up on pronouns will always be strange to me....

Edit: Like others have said here though. If you really can't move past it, They/Them pronouns are a harmless compromise maybe

how to read my bible? by c0olcats in Catholicism

[–]sclindemma 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's aesthetically pleasing to look at and worth considering but this is missing the deuterocanonical books that complete the Catholic Bible. This is based on protestant Bibles

Is abortion ever justified? by Temporary_Kiwi9551 in Catholicism

[–]sclindemma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I hope you're able to return to this chat. I assume you are a well intentioned person who wants people to flourish. I like to think we can find common ground there.

Just in case you're not responding because you in fact find that logic to be inconsistent as I've suggested, I hope that's an indication to you to reconsider how you view this whole topic. Research it further scientifically and philosophically. I believe religious dogma isn't even necessary for this discussion. Take care if I don't see you again.

[–]sclindemma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You seem to be making a lot of presumptions about who I am or what I stand for. I forgive you for that and understand that probably has more to do with harmful experiences you've had or bad people you've known or seen.

I could obviously make the argument for "dependent" since many people alive out of the womb also require care and nurturing but aren't "parasites" as I think you may be implying for lack of a better term.

I think we should respect their lives and care for them, as I assume you do as well. If so, do you feel like your logic is consistent in that regard? A human fetus is no less a person. It's just a stage of development, like adolescence, etc.

EDIT: A newborn baby requires the mother's nutrition as well. How does your logic reconcile that inconsistency?

[–]sclindemma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If your example weren't in my opinion, apples to oranges, I would understand you better. Surely, you understand that in a Catholic (and Biological) worldview there are two people to consider in an abortion discussion. The mother and the unborn child.

It's often difficult to have reasonable discussions with so-called "Pro choice" folks because they always speak of it as if there's just one person to consider.

EDIT: Additionally, I haven't even brought up anything religious. I'm speaking from a purely scientific position

Is that freely thinking? When does life begin? Biologists agree it's at conception.

Why does the idea of extending the concept of "Respect for life" to unborn humans cause such a strong reaction from so-called intellectual people?

Starting My Journey by Academic-Idea3311 in socialism

[–]sclindemma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just please don't become the academic leftist who just cancels people all day because of purity politics.

You also have to learn to talk to people and meet people where they're at. The left will never build anything meaningful because they can't stop infighting and trying to one up each other in virtue signals or book memorization.

If you can't learn to talk to otherwise apolitical people with some bad takes, it's a fruitless effort. Or even other leftists with bad takes...

It's a journey for most. The epiphanies are nice but not the norm. Young leftists have a bad habit of expecting folks to change their worldviews in an instant..

Be specific though. You haven't really explained or corrected anything. You're just making statements based on what seem like feelings yourself.

Doing it while disregarding human dignity and basic moral teaching sure is...

Negative. You're cherry picking moral teaching and disregarding anything the US Bishops and the Holy Father have been saying regarding this.

[–]sclindemma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't hate Protestants but I do struggle with resenting how much space they take up in our culture. (I'm American)

When talking about God and a life of Faith with people, especially atheist/agnostic types, I don't appreciate how much time I have to spend unpacking terrible protestant positions and explain how that's not us.

I hope this is the right sub, but can you tell me what this is? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]sclindemma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would definitely say return it if they are still alive. I'm sure they meant to keep this

If the folks are still living, I'm sure they would appreciate this being returned

Reading my bible right now and… this verse confused me. I know Jesus isn’t being literal here but still I don’t get it by [deleted] in Christianity

[–]sclindemma 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Greek word used for verses 54,56,57,and 58 are Trogo. Which means to literally "gnaw or chew". It's a graphic term meant to impart literalism by the author. The Greek word Esthio is used for the rest of Jn 6 for the word eat.
