When they see plainly that there is nothing else, and they are sufficiently brought low to the depths of humility, they can be changed by Him, and they begin to be the most grateful for life, instead of those who can indulge in worldly pleasures without being forced to grow.

Exactly, which is a huge problem in first world countries…[Read more]

@liberty

So, what are you concluding now?

Good question lol. As of late. I’ve become very overly obsessive over whether something is right or wrong, and this isn’t the only subject I’ve been mulling over lately. I’m still not sure, because I don’t want to end up doing what’s wrong, but I also can’t confirm that Christmas is 100% bad either.

What…

I’m so sorry to hear that, praying for your family 💙

@freed_and_redeemed

Yep 🙂

@whalekeeper

Ooh, a recipe. Will have to try this.

@ellette-giselle

I watched the video, it was good. Definitely adds some clarity to the whole thought process.

@thearcaneaxiom

Interesting. It does seem like there’s more reward in suffering and still choosing good and God, so pain and hardship does have that benefit. Additionally, when you look at the countries around the world, it seems that all the poorer, suffering countries remain religious. It doesn’t make sense really, after all these people are…[Read more]

@freed_and_redeemed

No judgement. I respect your decision and your standpoint (same to you @grcr). Thanks for the resources. I have some reasons why I don’t agree entirely though, but I don’t want to come off as rude or accidentally get into an argument lol. I’ll just say that I don’t think the Church chose the 25th solely for competition with pa…[Read more]

@liberty

Ooh, I love singing Christmas hymns too! Also what I mean by “on the fence” about celebrating it is that I’m just not sure if I should celebrate it this year. My family always does, but doing a bit of research on it I’m not 100% certain all of the traditions are okay to do. To counter that though, I’ve also been doing research into the…[Read more]

@raxforge

Yeah, on nearly everything I’ve found on Christmas the stuff is regurgitated that Christmas is all pagan and completely stolen, but then when you look to objections to that, the evidence against it is much more substantial.

@whalekeeper

That sounds like a great way to celebrate Christmas.

@esther-c

I honestly don’t understand why…

@theducktator

Ok, then it should be alright.

@esther-c

Ooh, this looks interesting. I will read it soon.

@highscribeofaetherium

How many words do I have to write? Fifty?

@liberty

Yes I would be okay with that. School kind of took over and I haven’t written the story yet 😅

@esther-c

Praying for your brother and band

@theducktator

That’s really cool, I’m a Catholic and we celebrate Advent too though we don’t have all the same days as you mentioned.

@ellette-giselle

Thanks for the video, I’ll check it out.

@stephie

Understandable of your parents, the whole Santa thing is one of the bigger objections some people have to Christmas. Also I love that you hav…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

Ah, ok. Magic potato, havoc potato, what potato am I?

@liberty

Sorry for the late reply, I would prefer some sort of story but I’m fine with either option.

@whalekeeper

Uh… good question. It’s a magical snake I guess.

@rae

Percival

Around Reid and Tenz billowed green vapor. Tenz pulled out a knife, blue washing over it, “Strike, and I kill.”

“Slowly… Back away…” Barnes commanded in a hushed voice. As they slowly moved back, Percival kept a weary eye on the snake. It was strange how it merely s…[Read more]

@the_lost-journal

I vote option B as well
