On this topic, I really like what Space Marines do with helmets and optics
SM helmets provide a HUD and feed info, help with aim etc
But there's limits to their features and so target finders, telescopic lenses, infrared emitters to ensure NVG function amongst others all have to be tagged on, and these features have a noticeable impact on the helmet's appearance.
All of these can allow you to infer about a space marine's role, veterancy, chapter culture or personal preferences/worries
Modern designs will just give helmet 2 bright lenses and tell you that all of these functions are built in.
And that works just fine, but I much prefer this approach.
Catholicism must be the true religion because no other faith would take up the challenge of gathering the world's worst, most insufferable human beings, and try to make them into saints.
I've always thought this trend was weird because it basically communicates that the pro-abort position is so weak they have to resort to trickery to make their case
St. Jerome on relics:
“We do not worship, we do not adore, for fear that we should bow down to the creature rather than to the creator, but we venerate the relics of the martyrs in order the better to adore him whose martyrs they are” (Ad Riparium, i, P.L., XXII, 907).
@kingofthehood89@wendygenderr@_Haifisch234@BeSaintly She asked a question, was corrected, and admitted she was wrong. I know that we are all tired of people not understanding, but she made an earnest attempt to learn. Such attitudes reflect poorly on the Church.
Julian the Apostate, a pagan, complained about the Christians venerating the relics of Christian martyrs by saying it smelled of “the stench of graves and dead men’s bones.”
This is Christianity and the irony is that it is actually you who is echoing the pagans
The glorification of Mary, body and soul, teaches us that our true beauty does not lie in hiding the signs of aging, but in revealing the signs of love that never end, and are even impressed on our flesh (cf. 1 Cor 13:8).
told this imperial fist in my trench that more plague marines are coming and this guy straight up licked his lips man I gotta get the fuck out this planet
