This cat is me... and I am literally this cat...

@ra_caelum1776 Okay, and when Biden was doing that, I was in high-school (for the most part, at least). Listen, go on a walk outside for thirty minutes and then come back after that.

We are supposed to do good deeds hoping for nothing in return, if we’re hoping for a reward, then we actively are contradicting Luke 6:34-36. Materialists struggle to grasp this concept, because you live like dogs.

@Purrigen @RighterHR “The reward is entirely beside the point”

Buullllllshit lmao

Fun fact: AMOC collapse leads to an ice age within a few years. This isn't theoretical, it's happened prior. Humans are going to learn the hard way, as usual...

[Purrigen @Purrigen]

@ra_caelum1776 to say others lack common sense here is insane. I’m going to be honest with you, friend, you just sound incredibly hurt. So, I feel bad for you, as life must not be kind on you.

[Purrigen @Purrigen]

@ra_caelum1776 What an incredibly reductionist way to view the world, no wonder you’re so miserable. You’re right though, I should individually round up all religious folk, and make them conform to what you want. As soon as you can do that for your materialistic ilk, we can talk. The audacity

[Purrigen @Purrigen]

@ra_caelum1776 What is a materialist to you? You people always end up doing the meme below. I’m sorry you’ve had negative experiences with religious people. You should go talk to a therapist, or just get off the internet.

HOLY CRAP 🚨

Hidden camera in London catches senior rabbi telling abuse victims to stay silent and never call the police.

RABBIS RAPED a girl inside his Stamford Hill synagogue.

Parents knew and stayed quiet, terrified of community shunning.

@Hardmaxxxx @MarkusStei21312 People have been saying this for decades, but perhaps this time it’ll actually be correct, given our very unique circumstances.

@Squarepie_og @MikamakV @countmaculad God bless you for trying to explain this, but they’re just being pedantic at this point, that’s all they have when you bring up actual information on this topic.

@Joominmames @TungTTFan @MaindreTheFloop @ruallsion @JadeAtrophis Every leftist point levied against Christianity is a joke, new atheism attracted the lowest of the low.

Overwhelmingly, people view children as accessories to add to their lives when they desire rather than as gifts from God and indeed, the very purpose of the sexual union. Even among conservative Christians, this mindset is rampant.

We talk about kids like they're home improvement projects? "Are you guys ready for that, or are you going to keep waiting awhile?"

We talk about them as though they're Pokemon cards that you quit collecting one you have a complete set. "So now that you have a boy and a girl, are you done?"

We often look at large families with the same kind of disdain we have for hoarders. "That's so weird. Why do you need so many of those?"

Likewise, push away all the lamentations about wanting to save your unborn child from a lifetime of suffering and hardship through abortion, and you'll find the true mindset, where we respond to our children having disabilities the way we'd respond to a restaurant giving us the wrong food, something we simply refuse to eat.

"Waiter, I ordered a healthy baby. But you gave me this gross little deformed thing. Throw that away and give me what I actually ordered."

Not everyone will follow this mindset concerning children to such an evil degree. But if we wish to protect ourselves from it, we need to fundamentally change the way we think about children. Which is to say, we need to view parenthood vocationally rather than through a consumeristic lens.

Children are not trinkets. They are human beings, as human as you, and just as worthy of love and honor as you. Likewise, parenthood is not a lifestyle, a hobby, or an era. It's a vocation.

If a child is growing in your womb, God has already given you the vocation of mother. And a mother's vocation is always to protect and love her child, never to kill her child. If your child is growing in a woman's womb, God has already given you the vocation of father. And a father's vocation is always to protect his child, never to kill his child.

If God gives you that vocation when you're poor, fulfill it faithfully and trust that He will give you your daily bread. If God gives you that vocation when you don't feel ready for it, get over yourself and fulfill it faithfully. If God gives you that vocation by giving you a child who seems too difficult to care for, trust that He will also give you the strength to endure the task, and fulfill it faithfully.

May God save our souls and purify our hearts by changing our minds.

@RighterHR Calm indifference is apathy, so you can dislike it, but the shoe fits. You’re free to block me, it’s a free feature.

[Purrigen @Purrigen]

@RighterHR I fail to see how identifying apathy as a flaw qualifies as 'religious tryharding.' The reward is entirely beside the point; I would be calling out your craven mentality regardless.

@Michaeldudufudu I can’t believe you forced them to continue viewing those images instead of scrolling away. How do you even sleep at night, Michael Orthodox?

Truly, I say to you, as you did it to one of the least of these my brethren, you did it to me.

The reaction of large swathes of the online right to the glibly publicized abortion of a child has nauseated me, almost as much as the incident itself. A secular, “post-Christian” right would be entirely abandoned to the worst impulses of inhumane cruelty, hatred, and resentment.
