A single man doing a few good deeds does not erase the lavishness of popes before him, or the absurd amassed wealth of the Church.
 
 
@SeraphimDawn
 
All modern versions of Christianity are hackneyed chop-jobs cobbled together from a thousand sources, infinitely dividing down into countless daughter sects. Alterations, revisions, purges, and whiteouts stretch back to its conception. So to call one version adulterated is rather hilarious considering.
 
Mock the catholic church in other, less hypocritical ways.

@Zincy  
Well yeah, but when talking about the modern Catholic church, you can’t say that the Pope lives a lavish lifestyle. I mean, you can say that nearly all of them have lived like that and what the fuck Catholics I thought you weren’t supposed to do this, but not this current one.
 
I really hope he changes things for the better for future Popes, that they look up to him rather than the past ones.

@SeraphimDawn  
I really do believe that that man truly believes in doing good because that’s what you should do, rather than “oh it’s my job”. The way he acts is fucking wonderful.

@toxicrystal  
I think he’s doing a much better job than previous ones, and hopefully make a good example for the future, even if it’s just “for show”. The religion itself is changing a lot to try to match the more modern times, even if the reasons behind it isn’t “faith” related.

@Zincy  
Arguing with a pagan is pointless so I’ll turn the other cheek on this one.
 
In unrelated vents: Ever done something that should bother you a lot but you actually feel fine and the fact that it doesn’t bother you as much is quite bothersome?

@SeraphimDawn
 
Hail LORD XENU.

@Albus Fahrenheits  

Yes.  
I can’t think of any specific examples but I’m sure it’s happened.

@Albus Fahrenheits  
Yes.  
It hurts.

Welp, as of last night, I am now single… Girlfriend broke up with me.
 
For a while I had thought that I would be the one to break up with her because throughout the past year our relationship had eventually become a shadow of its former self and the problems started to become more visible and evident. I had thought that I was too good for her but since she was the one who broke up with me, that kinda sends me the message that I’m the one who’s not good enough for her…
 
Part of the reason I stayed with her for so long was because I’ve always believed she’d be the only girl in the world who could possibly want me. If not her, who else would want me? I’ve gotten older… I’m just not young anymore… I’ll probably never find love now…
 
I’m also scared… Where will I go now? I have a job that’s just a block away from where I’m currently staying and I have no car of my own. If I want to keep that job, I’d have to move somewhere that’s still within walking/biking distance. Or I could move back in with my family in NJ…but my family has a lot of drama and they’re controlling and manipulative… My mom is also very clingy; if she finds out about this, she’ll try anything in her power to convince me to come back, maybe even use force… I’m so torn right now…
 
I just don’t know what I will do at this point…

@MethidMan  
hug?

@OptimusPrimevil  
Yes… Hugs

@HJSDGCE  
I meant like I’ve done something bad and I should feel bad but I don’t. The fact that I don’t feel any guilt is what’s bothering me.

@MethidMan  
<hugs>
 
your situation is so eerily similar with mine except i didn’t know it was happening until the last second. thought we were going to talk about stuff, not the end.

@Albus Fahrenheits  

 
While either extreme is bad, I feel guilt all the time, even for stuff that isn’t my fault. My family thought that teaching me to feel guilt would make me easier to control, and they were right.
 
I’m not asking specifically what you did, but looking at the whole situation logically, how bad do you think you should be feeling?
 
@MethidMan  
That sounds really rough buddy, I definitely feel for you. Did you and her have to live/are you getting kicked out? D:
 
I have no idea how bad your family situation is, or if its to the point where you’d rather risk relative homelessness than move back in again.

@Tragiclady  
Bad enough that I’ve read other people vomiting and having nightmares upon doing so. I feel fine as if I’m used to it.

@Albus Fahrenheits  

 
Well, for whatever that is, I probably wouldn’t do it unless I thought it was absolutely necessary. If you can do it and not feel bad about it, its like you have a superpower. I’m sure you’re doing it for good reasons.

@Tragiclady  
They commanded me to do it. I had to comply. It was my duty.

@Albus Fahrenheits  
Not disagreeing with you there.

Very briefly changing the subject, but with the last love interest/online friend I had. I was afraid that one day she would travel to my house and kill me, one of my family members, or one of my pets. Since she knows where I live and didn’t take our breakup very well. And she owns guns too because, we do live in America after all.
 
Either revenge really wasn’t worth the one or two hour drive to where I live, I completely misjudged her, or whatever reason. When I spoke to my family about my concern they got pissed off at me and thought I was joking.
 
Because I always joke about people trying to kill us, and I love pulling pranks (sarcasm)
 
A year or two has passed, nothing bad has happened, and I’m still sorry she and I hurt each other emotionally. Also if I had a lot more social experience, maybe I wouldn’t have felt that level of paranoia :D

@Tragiclady  
@Albus Fahrenheits
 
Seems like he killed someone and you are patting his shoulder.

@arcanedarness  
Was it that obvious?

@MethidMan  
Sorry about that, man.  
Also, how far is one block because that doesn’t sound very far. I mean, I walk a lot to class everyday.

@arcanedarness  
Well, I didn’t really know what to say. I never had anything in my life happen like that.
 
Talking about it in vague terms didn’t help hide it I guess. As a soldier, that’s sometimes expected in their line of work. I never had any friends in the military or talked to any of them much about it.
 
Most of the time whenever people are talking about war in the news or in articles, they talk about it distantly like its something that’ll never affect their lives.

when you specifically mention it’s a bizarro (opposite) thread and people act like it’s a serious thread (took the bizarro posts seriously)
 
X_X
 
worse when after so many “it’s a bizarro thread bruh” warnings, people still confuse it as “serious”
