@AliBeckZeck You literally said he wasn't physically violent: “Because I didn’t hit you our entire (27 year) marriage. You’re not a survivor of domestic violence.” And ladies, that right there is how abusive men minimize harm—they define abuse by the worst thing they didn’t do."

@Pat06433597 Ummmm..it’s both. I was physically and emotionally abused. So it’s both.

My ex husband said to me a few years ago that my social media bio was “ridiculous,” saying I’m a survivor of domestic violence. When I asked him why he said, “Because I didn’t hit you our entire (27 year) marriage. You’re not a survivor of domestic violence.” And ladies, that right there is how abusive men minimize harm—they define abuse by the worst thing they didn’t do. “I didn’t hit you every day.” “I never broke your bones.” “I never put you in the hospital.” “I only cheated.” “I only lied.” “I only screamed.” “Lots of men do way worse.” But domestic violence isn’t defined by whether a man hit you often enough to satisfy his own definition. It includes coercive control, intimidation, threats, financial abuse, emotional abuse, psychological abuse, isolation, humiliation, betrayal and making a woman live in a state of fear, collapse, and survival. And the person who abused me doesn’t get to define what I survived. I am a survivor of domestic abuse.

@xm_muva Let's just assume, for the moment, this is the norm: And? None of these activities takes that much time or effort I speak as a father of 6 children who cooks, does dishes, and does laundry

This is the NORM btw. Being a single, married mother is the NORM. I ask that women never marry nor procreate men with who do not know how to care for their home, nor their children.

@EricLevitz Just ask them: Rule of 3

The most puzzling AI-ism to me is probably the "Not x. Not y. But z." Not the em-dashes (an essential piece of punctuation). Not "That isn't x, it's y" (a useful if inelegant way to clarify an argument). But consecutive examples of what your subject isn't -- conveyed in fragmentary, staccato sentences -- before a declaration of what it is. Feel like this is an inherently irritating rhetorical device. And I don't recall regularly coming across it in pre-AI writing. So, I don't understand why LLMs are so in love with the template

Just another example of women not understanding statistics

@EvidenceOfFaith "Those who deliberately fail in this obligation commit a grave sin.” This is the key part that nullifies "If you don't come to Mass, you are going to Hell" Nuanced distinctions matter

Also, the Catholic Church: If you don't come to Mass, you are going to Hell “The Sunday Eucharist is the foundation and confirmation of all Christian practice. For this reason the faithful are obliged to participate in the Eucharist on days of obligation, unless excused for a serious reason… or dispensed by their own pastor. Those who deliberately fail in this obligation commit a grave sin.” - CCC 2181

@DiamondEyesFox Your point stands for 'me and my bible' type Christians Catholicism offers a more nuanced position

i love how religious people absolutely refuse to accept the brutal realities of their faith he's being tortured forever now, and according to you he deserves it and god rejoices in his torture deal with it instead of coping that maybe, somehow, if you squint.. either accept what you believe or reject the belief entirely

@IncredPapist_ Just ask anyone who challenges this if they prefer the NO candlelight Easter Vigil or a NO Mass in ordinary time... Bells and smells matter 🤷‍♂️

Guys, I’m not denying that the NO is a valid mass. I’m saying that personally I feel the NO is too irreverent and it harms my faith as a result. If you prefer it, great. I felt much more connection with God through the TLM.

@exceeding_love My apologies for the double post, but I'm sincerely curious about your opinion on this question: In your estimation, what was the first valid translation of the entire English Bible? As in, not individually translated books

@exceeding_love This screenshot is the genesis of the framing The problem was not the *English* language as is suggested, but rather a lack of an authoritative English translation You jumped into an entire thread but then act like I'm supposed to start with a clean slate Not how it works

This Henry Derangement Syndrome has gone too far. Apparently it was he that commissioned the King James Bible. I bet he oversaw the Elizabethan Settlement and the Marian Persecutions too. 🙄

@sourpatchlyds Both the CA Bishops and Pope Francis condemned the program

Is the Pope going to speak out against MAID in Canada?

@exceeding_love It's your framing that I reject: 'RCC didn't want ppl reading the bible' This is false They didn't want ppl reading heretical translations Heck, later protestants would have rejected 10 books from Wycliff's bible Surely you can see the need for authoritative translations

@Pat06433597 I just want you to understand history as it was. I don’t care that you’re a Roman Catholic. I do care that you’re wrong, because apologetics based on ignorance and wilful misunderstanding aren’t a good look for any denomination. I genuinely wish you all the best.

@SteveSkojec The illusion of control might be simultaneously false, and yet, the best and most rational approach to living this existence

You are not, in fact, 100% accountable for your circumstances. You can get T-boned by a drunk driver. You can get stabbed by a drugged-up street zombie. You can get lung cancer even if you've never smoked. You can have a child get abducted and murdered. The most you can say is that you're in the driver's seat when it comes to how you respond to all of that. And even then, it's not really 100%. Because we're not robots, and nobody has 100% control over their emotions, their ability to find hope in the midst of darkness, their ability to deal with life circumstances that throw them into a sense of surreal displacement, etc. The illusion of control is a hell of a drug.

@Ginger_xe I'm a seasonal SAHD, so I can say from real experience: It's not nearly this effing hard And I have 7 kids 🤡

The exhaustion of being a mom and a wife🥲🤧 it's two different responsibilities

@GeoChonker IDK mate, he said "brought the crazies out" and then screengrabbed an unverified rando with *2* views... Maybe we should just chalk it up to a bot 🤷‍♂️

Im genuinely confused what Catholics think is wrong with this

@exceeding_love I honestly don't know what you are trying to argue, other than RCC bad You jumped in on my conversation with someone else, and have been reactionary in our entire exchange

@exceeding_love *sigh* Non-approved translations were *censored* Which is significantly different than saying the Bible in the English language was "banned," which was your claim For example, the NT of the Douay-Rheims *in English* was published in 1582, which predates the KJV even

@JoshuaLisec The man can separate from her, but he cannot remarry

The woman aborted their baby. Christian preachers saying he can’t divorce her. Revealing.

@exceeding_love 1. I don't have access to the journal, so I can't read the whole piece 2. The abstract to the article rebuts your claim:

@Pat06433597 jstor.org/stable/4517880… It did. "From 1409 onwards, in principle, the mere possession of English books relating to the Bible by ordinary lay people could result in a charge of heresy. The ban on vernacular Bible production resulted in no editions being printed in England."

@GordonFbpe @nick_acker1 @RevJaredJones OK well that smells like a no true Scotsman fallacy to me... Regardless, I don't care to do an "inside-baseball" on the origins of the Anglican Church

@Pat06433597 @nick_acker1 @RevJaredJones Ummm they are all wrong. Henry VIII just replaced the Pope as head of the Church in England with himself. There was no change in liturgy or doctrine. That happened later, mainly in Edward IV's reign and continuing into Elizabeth I's reign.
