No, GP is surprisingly correct, and I’m actually kinda surprised that HN just jumped right to downvotes. But I guess I shouldn’t be. When you attack someone’s heart they writhe in pain. Calling cigarettes “adult pacifiers” for example will

Very good for a first experience. If you can still edit the title, maybe add Show HN to the beginning.

Same thing happened to me and my wife. The permanence of 2fa failing was something that didn’t exist until just a few years ago. For decades before that you could always get back in as long as you had an email. With that safety net in mind,

I get that idea and it’s not new: one blog said in its subtitle “letting google index my thoughts”. But it’s the equivalent of talking out loud. Sure someone might hear you accidentally and benefit but most of the time it should be kept to

I had a blog for a decade but I realized that I would post something and nobody would read it, but then a famous programmer would post the same thing in their own blog a year later and everyone would hear about it. So I concluded that blogs

The biggest miracle of all is the Resurrection of Jesus which was verified by many people including over 500 people who all saw him at once. There is an overwhelming amount of evidence attesting to its historicity. It’s why the Catholic Chu

Then you haven’t done enough research. Look into the miracles done by saints in the Catholic Church or through their intercession and having been verified by credible scientists and medical professionals.

Interesting. My wife and I would like to know more about this. She listens to EWTN a lot, and I can’t stand them but for different reasons than you mentioned. Which doctrines and urgencies and propaganda do you mean?

Right, I short-handed it. If an event occurred that is quite contrary to our thorough understanding of a situation, e.g. a sudden disappearance of a fatal and currently-incurable illness along with all traces of it, and this happens directl

God can suspend the laws of physics which he designed in the first place. And it was a Catholic priest who first proposed the Big Bang theory, which I think is perfectly reasonable to believe, and fully compatible with our religion, which o

It's a fallacy to say that just because some denominations say that, all must therefore be incorrect. It's the whole "I'm Sparticus" situation. There really is a Sparticus. Any serious Christain who seriously studie

The only way someone can be Protestant is to be ignorant of history. If you look at the writings of the saints for the past 1900-2000 years, they all believed the doctrines of the Catholic Church, and they were saints because they lived tho

Awesome. Any chance it can have an option for using other translations? Big fan of RSVCE personally.

For one thing, the Bible says "You'll know them by their fruits," and although the Catholic Church has produced a lot of sinners, they're about on par with other denominations and other religions, philosophies, and non-r

I noticed the same thing: what religion you are (and whether you have one) isn't a guarantee of whether you're a "good person." I have a Catholic friend who spends his time complaining, being negative, and mainly serving

I still maintain that this life is the analogy for the true reality. Physics is only concerned with the “how” but metaphysics explains the “why”, although both are answering questions about the same events. Physics isn’t untrue, just, by it

I’ve been told all my life that I’m overthinking it or that I think too much. The fact is the opposite, the rest of the world doesn’t think enough! I come here to find people who do, to gain any insight they may have (especially on programm

But that’s only part of the metaphysics of it all! We actually absorb the properties of what we consume! An apple contains within its seed the potential or power of an apple tree, which is dense and fibrous, and by consuming the apple we

But think about it, everyone only has a few days left to live! We just keep extending that, day by day, by eating something else that recently died. And then it’s atoms become part of our bodies. It’s life force gets absorbed into us. But b

I wish more programmers understood metaphysics better. We’re built to be philosophers. The first command God gave Adam was to name every animal, which is the act of categorizing abstract concepts and building language to concretize these re
