That's kind of a hard question to answer because they are all good in their own ways. I've been catholic as well as a protestant Christian and I have a lot of orthodox bros and its really all about what feels most meaningful to you. Protestantism is relatively progressive and dynamic (so you will be allowed near complete freedom), Catholicism has a very meaningful sense of hierarchy and beauty (which is very pure and vibrant) while orthodoxy has a heavily conservative and respectably uncompromising attitude in defending its religious beliefs. Thus it is really up to you to decide. I will say that if you are right wing, orthodox is probably the way to go. If you are liberal, protestism is great. If you are at the center, Catholicism is a good decision. In any case, I hope that your journey in embracing Christ fills you with overwhelming joy and divine bliss 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻✝️☦

It called me a communist

What are your positions?

BMI isn't a perfect measurement, but that's pretty horrifying. Ban corn syrup and soybean oil.

I have question, which political wing are you? I am omi-wing

Wow now all that's left to do is shame girls we BMI's over 20 whenever they talk about wanting a 8ft man

what the refrigerator nonsense is this (i hate the censors)
What is this story meant to represent?

Didn't the rocket explode?

Read the Gospels and the rest of the New Testament (except Revelation) first. If you start with Genesis by the time you are reading Leviticus or Numbers you will want to quit. In short understanding the New Covenant is more important that to know what was abrogated in the old (I don't say that is unimportant!). The Old Testament also has a lot of cultural context so it's important to hear the interpretation of a priest/pastor as well.

Hard disagree with the other posts. Skip the Jewish parts, read the Gospels first.

The reason that Evangelicals are so cringe is because they base more of their beliefs off the Old Testament instead of the Word that was God in Christ's body. Divorce was considered WORSE than homosexuality in the New Testament because it destroys societies (doesn't that sound familiar) and yet all the Evangelical leaders are thrice divorced.

Same as slaveowners who used the Old Testament to justify slavery when the New Testament was used to argue against it.

The Old Testament should be seen through the lens of the Gospels, NOT the Gospels through the lens of the Old Testament.

You gotta start with Genesis and Exodus. After that I'd go with the history books Numbers, Deuteronomy, Joshua, Samuel, Kings, Chronicles, Nehemiah, Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, Acts. Then go do what you missed in order.

The proper way to read the Bible is to set aside time to read a chapter and pray to God God for Holy Spirit to help the message reach your heart. Reading the Bible is a skill because the proper way to interpret it is by cross referencing scriptures with each other. So the more you read the better you can interpret it and the more enjoyable it is.
Pro tip, if you're struggling with an addiction or bad habit, reading the Bible aloud at a weak moment can really help. Because addictions are helped by demons and they don't like listening to scripture, so they'll leave.

Same, I have weird loading issues trying to find a post in the timeline and then it seems to just disappear, like yours on Christianity.

Maybe try @'ing mevmedev in the general chat to try and get a solution?

Elon Musk is obsessed with Mars and humanity as a whole is fascinated with it, but Mars is not economically valuable and thus will remain little more than a vanity project. Regardless, we will for sure colonize the moon first just because it's so close and it's the logical launch point for a greater space colonization venture.

I'm personally much more excited about colonizing the gas giants and Venus (I think Venus is gonna be space Texas and I'm there for it). The moon itself is even more economically viable than Mars, because it's nearby and has trace amounts of He3, of which Mars has AFAIK none.

Mars would be fun to terraform but the lack of magnetic field makes it nigh impossible.

Could I bring a hot fertile wife and claim all the land for my descendants?

Banning contraceptives will result in pre-contraceptive level birthrates. Back then populations kept stable through high child mortality, we don't have that anymore.

Banning condoms seems needlessly authoritarian and silly. But hormonal birth control is an environmental disaster creating a massive public health crisis. It also makes women insane and is leading to the collapse of society. It should only be prescribed in cases of medical necessity.

That Germany or North Italy?
