I aspire to be like Mr. Rogers. I'm currently more like Dr. House.

@DrFrankTurek Not atheism per se. Whether evolution can is an interesting question. I tend to think that the answer is "no," as it implies a natural *ought* rather than an *is*.

[Christopher @ChrisMTucson]

@DrFrankTurek The rampant epistemological dictatorship of scientism.

[Christopher @ChrisMTucson]

@_jameshatfield_ @JamesMartinSJ That's an interesting question! What do you think?

I'm betting the answer is no, but I can only arrive at that answer through metaphors and analogies to marriage and Theology of the Body.

@Nominal31152751 @Gandalf4Jesus I *explicitly* mentioned that proof is a mathematical concept. The things I mentioned certainly don't prove anything.

[Christopher @ChrisMTucson]

@Gandalf4Jesus Archaeology (see Titus Kennedy)
History (Habermas)
Philosophy (Feser, Swinburne)
Biology (Collins)
Physics (Barr, Smith, Guillen, Spitzer)

And, since I happen to be Catholic, even miracles that have been investigated under the microscope (see https://t.co/WkCe8IwE3u)

[Christopher @ChrisMTucson]

@Gandalf4Jesus Given that proof is a mathematical concept, I'd say this is true.

As far as evidence goes, though, boy does Christianity have some of the good stuff!

@tjs683 @DrFrankTurek This describes my approach as well.

@Jolz_Aust @Artemisapphire Prayer is relationship building.

[Christopher @ChrisMTucson]

@Utterly_Jean I ought to have shared this little image of Rembrandt's "Return of the Prodigal Son", which has helped me as I prepare for many confessions.

[Christopher @ChrisMTucson]

@Utterly_Jean Reconciliation is the best. You're going to be great. God bless you and welcome home!

@RandalRauser Maybe Judas Iscariot?

Pol Pot.

[Christopher @ChrisMTucson]

@Jolz_Aust I've always admired St. Juan Diego's openness to accepting God's will to spread the gospel in the Americas.

[Christopher @ChrisMTucson]

@Jolz_Aust Have you read "The Power of Silence" by Cardinal Sarah?

[Christopher @ChrisMTucson]

@Jolz_Aust Yeah, I think mature catechesis starts with Job and Ecclesiastes.

@Catholicizm1 The NO lectionary (and the entire Liturgy of the Word) is better planned out/more relevant/more reverent.

Anecdotally, my experiences with TLMs tend to be slightly colder communities that put more emphasis on politics and outward appearances than faith, hope, and love.

@MadScientistFF My first hourly job, I was paid $5.15. I think minimum was below $5 at the time.

[Christopher @ChrisMTucson]

@cathsalvadoreno That's ultimately a management decision. I trust God in his infinite goodness, though.

@FilologLX_X You look a bit like my friend from Chile, so I'll go with Spanish/Italian.

[Christopher @ChrisMTucson]

@FilologLX_X I'm Catholic and like linguistics.
