@SipsWithSerra Before I saw the context I was gonna say "well they're more anti-Islam than general apologetics"
But nah, running from Libyano? I doubt most of the folks on this list don't even know who he is, nor could they care
@luke_barca@kelcy_lowry@ComeHometoRome Even the particular festivities of Halloween such as trick-or-treating and dressing up in costumes were established in Europe before Spain discovered Mexico, by at least 100 years
@ComeHometoRome eggs, its all thematically linked. Then you get rid of the weird pagan stuff and say "Hey, Jesus rose from the dead, thats an even BETTER new life!"
But no, all those features are coincidental and all rooted in post-Christianized context (or Passover). Its crazy
@ComeHometoRome So I got no qualms with taking pagan holidays, getting rid of idolatry, and supplanting them with Jesus. Thats awesome stuff!
Its wild to me how effectively none of the big ones ARE. Like it seems super obvious to link Easter to fertility rituals. New life in spring, bunnies,-
@proMHFMcatholic@Emma506131772 Its incredibly cowardly to post and immediately block.
You're equivocating on terms. "Homosexuality" does not mean "embracing a particularly homosexual lifestyle". It means "attracted to the same sex"
@GeraldBaggot@Pumkinvines@mlatapapi8@Emma506131772 I don't really see how that follows in a meaningful sense.
I think alcoholism is a sin- I don't think its a sin to say "I'm an alcoholic". I don't think the term "homosexual" is inherently positive towards the desire, I think its just identifying that the inclination is there
@cse631@BishopJaxi Yep I just wanted to qualify to avoid equivocation. The Church Fathers existed after the epistles were written, before they were finalized and determined as Scripture
