Can everyone help this poor mother just a little it will add up. She has a go fund me to donate to.

[A @sugarsweet_A]

72k impressions. And almost no help. Mind you, my account started as a Christian devotion twitter account and I follow almost exclusively Christian and Catholic people. Jesus said that the poor would always be with us (Matthew 26:11; Mark 14:7).

I know this is a long shot but I am desperate I owe $2500 in rent and late fees, my utilities are 2 months behind and about to be shut off. I have 3 kids, one who is disabled and one baby. I’m trying to earn enough to pay up my rent and utilities before we lose everything,

[Caleb @dryapologist]

@sugarsweet_A Have you contacted here:

Please share this. I’m seriously suicidal at this point I’m going to lose everything I have including my children and I promise I’ll have no reason to stay after that. I’m drowning and alone. I pray and no god hears me. I am alone. Please share.

[Caleb @dryapologist]

@sugarsweet_A @JLynnLee1 I’m sorry to hear that. Did they explain why?

[Caleb @dryapologist]

@sugarsweet_A @JLynnLee1 Have you tried calling the Salvation Army?

[dawda @stronga091]

My doctors have now told me I urgently need further treatment including blood transfusion and scans and I must pay 50% upfront to continue care I never thought I’d be in this situation I’m struggling physically and financially
If you can help or even just repost it would mean

[Caleb @dryapologist]

@sugarsweet_A Have you talked to the Salvation Army?

[Caleb @dryapologist]

@sugarsweet_A Some of us have been trying to help. Have you tried going to a local Catholic Church and explained your situation? I know you gone places but have you gone again recently?

[dawda @stronga091]

🙏🏽 My GoFundMe has been unpaused.
I am still recovering and facing serious medical and financial challenges. Every donation, no matter how small, helps me continue my treatment and support my family during this difficult time.

@AL_J82 All Christians think there are beliefs essential for salvation and proper relation with Christ. Why can the Catholic Church not codify that list? It seems the Church should do that.

[Caleb @dryapologist]

@RussNRoses The Church teaches that you can replace the no meat on Friday *during Fridays outside of Lent* with another form of penance, but the penance should still be on Friday.

Saying the argument is conclusive to the point of entailing absurdity is a tall order. It seems one can reasonably disagree. Does that entail it is more of an evidential problem?

[Benjamin Blake Speed Watkins 🇺🇸🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @SpeedWatkins]

One of my counter-consensus views in the philosophy of religion is that logical arguments from evil are not "dead." In fact, I think the most ambitious formulations (e.g. Epicurus, Hume, Mackie) succeed conclusively. The existence of God and evil is absurd, not just implausible.

[Caleb @dryapologist]

@McJuggerNuggets One of the greatest people I know has Down syndrome and lives a great life and brings great joy to others. I’m sorry that you made the decision that you did. I will pray for your conversion and that you are able to meet your child in heaven one day.

[Caleb @dryapologist]

@KhalilAndani What is the contradiction? Jesus’s human nature is not causally separated from being informed by His divine personhood, but doesn’t mean His human nature lacks human properties.

[dawda @stronga091]

If you're unable to donate, please repost and keep me in your prayers. One share could reach someone who can help save my life. 🙏🏽🤍

[Caleb @dryapologist]

@mostlyreplies But that seems to possibly assume that God wrote scripture through a form of dictation. Not all Christians have had that view of inspiration though.

[Caleb @dryapologist]

I would argue that if morality is intrinsically rational then it is not thereby above God, rather it is derived from God’s necessary, intrinsic reasoning. God thereby does not arbitrarily impose morality, but also is still the source of morality.

[Benjamin Blake Speed Watkins 🇺🇸🇺🇦🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ @SpeedWatkins]

Here is another attempt to make the decisiveness of the Euthyphro Dilemma most apparent and also show how it can provide the crucial premise for an atheological argument against certain models of God. This brief makes use of a helpful inconsistent triad to achieve this.

[Caleb @dryapologist]

@mostlyreplies But is your argument that Christianity could not possibly be correct about God? Or is it that if some parts of the Old Testament contain exaggerations then some parts of the New Testament could also contain exaggerations? Because those seem like 2 different arguments.
