Infinite growth in living beings is known as cancer.

Yep, cancer isn’t sustainable.

Isn’t she jewish?

I am sorry that happened to you, I can’t believe things like that happen today in legal churches.

Thanks for the answer.

I hope you are in a much better place now!

The first and obvious question is what’s your story? Why did you leave?

Where you ostracized?

Are you still religious?

Thanks dude, just three hours more!

It’s going fine.

The day my mother died my aunt came into the funeral house yelling that I had betrayed her because in the obituary I added my fiancee and her parents. Thing is, she doesn’t like my fiancee (foreigner), classic racism and elitism stuff. My mom was her last sister alive (two brothers also deceased). Anyway I was not mad I told her calmly that she was mad, I wasn’t, and if she had a problem it was on her not me.

That night her daughter gave me a lecture about how distant I was with family and blah blah blah, it ended with me pointing out that on my mom’s side during the last three months of her life only her two best friends were with me and that neither her nor her only alive sister were with me, or her, until she was already sedated. I left, friends invited me to dinner and I decided that is she wanted to be back at my life she would need to go above and beyond apologizing not because of what happened to me but because they disrespected my mom’s and they can’t backtrack on that.

My fiancee is Filipina, I am Spanish. They have a problem with that, my mom didn’t have a problem (she even gave me the ring to ask her to marry me, which I did three months after my mom died). I am marrying her on Thursday.

I looked up to them a lot before all this, and I didn’t need them to be with me when my mom was dying, her friends (one is like an older sister and the other is like another mom to me) where more than what I, or her, could have asked for and the neighbors were very worried about us and that’s a testament to who my mom was, again the issue was and is on hers I defended my mom, my fiancee and her parents (two woman, not married, not lesbian, it’s complicated.

They are a hateful bunch because they refuse to know and learn.

My dad’s family is totally the opposite and they are, in theory, “less educated”. Not all my mother family is like that though, the widow of her younger brother is very happy for us too.

So in short, I defended what I loved and I know I would take my fiancee over them any day of any week.

What did he do exactly to help the poor that other popes didn’t?

He didn’t do anything that other didn’t. As a Catholic with connections in the Church I can tell you there are more gays in the Church (priests) that I have met outside of it so they are very tolerant of it, the problem is some of them do have sex (between them too)

Pope Francisco was a pope of words not actions.

If Jesus was the son of God (and God Himself) and He was sent to the Earth to fullfil the law and He was going to be betrayed and executed then Judas was doing God’s plan, and he was a very impotent part of the plan.

God knew Judas would betray Jesus and knew it was important that he did because without the betrayal there is no resurrection.

Point being Judas wasn’t the bad, at no point he was the bad guy and he was so confused, broken by what he did that he killed himself. A merciful God would have him be in Heaven because he fulfilled his mission not knowing that it was his mission and suffering immensely for it.

Both chairs are still in the Vatican. It’s like when people talked about Bezos driving his old car.

I can sleep at will and wake up at will. Like I am traveling early so I have to wake at 4:30am no problem!

China is a member of the United Nations and has veto powers… The court was presided by a Ghanian.

As Fredthefishlord said, you don’t need to defend China just because you oppose the US.

And that is a direct response to China ignoring the South China Sea Arbitration.

I hope you get paid for your effort though.

?? The bases were closed in 1991 or given to the Philippines and US troops returned to the Philippines due to China aggressions and talks of giving back some bases to the US for the same reason.

China is a bully country, they have no friends in the area for that reason.

China bullies the Philippines every day, how can you considering having a trading partner like that? Chinese ships are attacking Philippines fishers too.

Life is “simpler” when you realize governments (and hence the State) are just bullies that exercise their power through physical violence or economical violence.

It’s nice seeing the EU taking some positive steps

Yet they helped introducing the super cookies and are trying to end encryption on communications.

Like, we don’t need government.

Welcome to the anarchist. Now you have to pick your flavor! Social Anarcho-syndicalism, Anarcho comunist, anarcho-capitalism, anarcho christianis, and the list goes on!

I found LLMs helpfuls to develop some scripts and answer some simple trivial questions (like how does house property work in China). I could have looked for that in a regular search engine though. But that’s it, I am still happy looking for things myself and investigating since you can’t really trust their answers.

Same but mostly Jesus.

I was also right libertarian, although I have been called a fascist for that, , anyway I shifted from that slowly into anarchocristianism and I will stay here. I just don’t believe in government anymore only in communities and obviously in God but that’s another story.

I just want people to have their needs covered, to have strong sense of communities (love your neighbors) in non violent environments and I think human government is inherently violent either physically violent or economically violent. Jesus spoke of all this.

What I think people needs to understand is it’s not the same to be left in the US than in Spain for example, different countries have different kinds of issues caused by different ideologies. So it’s easy to understand why someone in Germany loves worker unions but in Spain don’t because in Spain the biggest ones (UGT and CCOO) work for the government (the so called Leftist Psoe)
