Superthread LXI - No longer honouring AdamKungl for his birthday as it has now passed

THE whole 'no sex' thing is a deal breaker on the Catholic side tbh.

Yes. It's a shame they have interpreted the bible incorrectly on that one and spent years justifying it.

I'd make a great televangelist.

What would you sell? :sarcasm:

Church is the worst. Hated it when school forced me to go...

What school did you go to?

what's a church?

Technically, the origin of the word was a group forming for a common purpose. So if you formed a weekly group to talk about philosophy, it was a church.

Its been coopted by the Christian meaning though.

The only issues I have with church is the group prayers and tithing.

I'm pretty sure I read in the bible once that prayer was to be a personal thing done in private between you and God.

Surely a large gathering of people in a public place saying prayers to God is defying that and is actually a sin.

And then there's the tithing. Last church I went to allowed you to make donations via your credit card.

Doesn't it say in the bible that man should give a percentage of his money to God (via church etc).

I don't own the money on a credit card. Again, another sin.

If the church can't abide by some simple stuff like that, then why should I trust them to lead me in the right direction?

Therefore, I just don't go to church, I believe if I a good person and I treat people well and help those in need, then my soul will be at peace, whether I believe in a God or not.

I did laugh :lol: I hope you didn't take offence. But your humour makes me giggle.

Funnily enough, both theologically accurate and stated by a Christian.

Tithing is supposed to go to the church to support charitable works and those who work vocationally for the church; not for God. He doesn't need the money.

:lol: List them all!

Day three of trying paleo. Kill me.

Whaaaat? There are so many meal options though! Yum yum!

 

[Dani]

It's just the withdrawal from hungry jacks I think...

 

[madunit]

Hungry jacks is one of the food groups.

I are a nutrionalologist, i know this stuff.

Why so many? And were your folk 'religious' or just preferred the education?

 

[Bazal]

I was a defence force kid. Folks were raised Catholic but really just chose private schools for us because Defence paid a certain % of the fees and they preferred the education standards at private schools. Especially in Canberra and Adelaide

Paleo is also innacurate anyway...no grains and legumes is wrong, no potatoes is absolutely wrong. "Cavemen" would have eaten loads of both. It's not like meat was easy to get and plentiful. Dieting is good, but it's so much easier and more sustainable to just eat healthy IMO

 

[Dani]

My GP told me to try paleo. Best fad diet that keeps diabetes happy.

2014 is no more fat year.

Plus I have a 5km fun run in 7 weeks. Probs gonna die.

 

[whall15]

Depends where the cavemen were from, I doubt European cavemen would have eaten loads of potatoes.

Makes sense. Attended two Catholic schools. I do rate their education, just not their theology.

You'll do well Dani I know it!

 

[Bazal]

I'm not saying it's bad Dan...just pointing it out I'm not diabetic so I dunno what you should and shouldn't eat, I just don't like Paleo much

 

[Bazal]

Well no, but they would have eaten tonnes of similar starchy, high carb tubers.

I went to a Catholic school. Same one as Twizzle.

Except I was there way, way, way, way later than him.
