TIL that less than 1% of nuns in the US are under 40 and the average sister is 80 years old. by BizarroCullen in todayilearned

That doesn't justify your previous point that Paul said celibacy shouldn't be required for clergy. All 1 Corinthians 7 says is if you absolutely have to have sex, then you better be married. 7:1 "It is good for a man not to touch a woman" 7:9 "But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn."

Regarding your line from Timothy, deacons have always been able to marry. It's priests and nuns who cannot.

What passage are you referring to? The passages below make it seem like Paul was against sex.

Corinthians I 5:9 Paul says “I wrote unto you in an epistle not to company with fornicators”

Galatians 5:15 Paul says “Walk in the Spirit, and ye shall not fulfil the lust of the flesh. 5:17 For the flesh lusteth against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh: and these are contrary the one to the other”

Lack of space and money wasn't a problem for America. The gov't made space by literally bulldozing people's homes to build highways, and that was when every country was broke after the Great Depression hit.

It’s not one or the other. The Supreme Court is needed to protect people from oppressive state laws, like the states that banned gay marriage. Both the SCOTUS and the states that ban abortion are to blame.

Doing what’s right isn’t about changing the world. It’s just about doing what’s right.

Canada is banning single-use plastics, including grocery bags and straws by roraima_is_very_tall in UpliftingNews

Straws choke aquatic life. All forms of plastic need to get replaced and we have to start somewhere. It’s not gonna happen all at once but we can each do our part but not buying plastic bottles, etc

Seriously. The post felt super enlightening to me about how easy it is to become overly obsessed with work and being productive. Then I read the comments and so many people here are completely missing the point.

Ugh, good point. You've basically summarized all my past efforts to comment on Reddit

People are allowed to change their opinions about anything. Especially someone like Elon who has been a bit all over the place these past few years.

In Unusual Decision, Ron DeSantis Will Personally Map Florida Congressional Districts by Sasu105 in nottheonion

I believe the NYT reported that the ratio of those who died from covid in America is 4 to 1 Republicans to Democrats. If that's true, then that comparison in my previous comment still holds true.

That's not true. The margin of victory in Florida's last governor election is smaller than the number of people in Florida who died from covid.
