None the less i may as well ask? by any chance do you know of any Etruscan Burials being found.
I don't recall but there should be some given they were fairly urbanized
I mean we have burial mounds of people who lived in the woods with no written language so I'm pretty confident there should be graves like that
A suggestion was made at my church study group to watch a documentary that tackles some of the institutionalised racism in this country. We also capped off the night with a prayer that the carona virus won't spark racism.
It's
All
So
Tiresome
did you speak out?
Lmao find a better group
No I didn't speak out, large group, boomer-heavy, the type of people who mostly mindlessly absorb culture. Not going to marginalise myself into a corner where I have no social options. This is the challenge of the irl reactionary.
"Find a better group", yeah, like reactionaries advertise themselves freely. I'm only in this discord because I have no irl options.
At least that study group has their priorities right.
To be fair, these are isolated cases, not from leadership. If it was a trend then I'd be taking action - either leaving or interjecting that we could be doing things more relevant to spiritual growth, because it's really obvious that this crap is irrelevant to the purpose of the group.
they seem worthless as is, its better to speak out with agreeable reservations and make friends with the people who support you
"I don't really think that would be a valuable use of time, but perhaps a discussion about how anti-racism has become the new secular religion and the wisdom of Christians engaging with it"
Just not sure I want to open that pandoras box with this particular group.
Boomers supporting diversity are the worst
No diversity in my church

How do you even argue with someone this far off the deep end
I won't argue with this person because what they're saying is objectively retarded
Take his position to the extreme
Whilst it's true there's uncertainty in morality there's a difference between walking around surrounded by fog and having your eyes gouged out
Insisting that morality isn't as precise as science is missing the point, morality isn't science, doesn't fit into the atheist clockwork type worldview where there is nothing but matter
Dave the Distributist had a good video on this
Because appeals to morality are always implicitly metaphysical and when some idiot tries to come up with a morality formula they usually fail
Say Kant's categorical imperative
Or Bentham's utilitarianism
*The Cult of Certainty* or something. Basically argued high certainty modes of thinking are extremely limited in scope, and are wrong to assume that low certainty = false.
There's no reason to try so hard to make it a precise science when just acknowledging morality is real and treating it as an intangible ideal to live by is enough
That's the one!
I mixed up 'confidence' with 'certainty'
Genocide is just one group using its resources to help it's genes win in natural selection
Steered my study group into a discussion about the insidiousness if modern culture and the way it oozes into the church. We bring it in on our boots on Sundays and it impacts all our interactions and even teaching unless we are rigorous and strong.
Much more reactionary than last week's anti racism vibe. Even had one individual expressing almost polar opposite perspectives on modern culture and pop morality.
Hopefully some will wake up, and who knows, I might find a kindred reactionary amongst them.
nice
Oof
@Salvation_Crucifix You kick the guy out in that case.
How do you kick out a pope and more than half the priesthood

Didn't Arianism hold the majority in terms of belief at one point? Just because things are bad currently in the church doesn't mean this will last forever.
Arianism went away because of diplomacy, not conversion
And there are many passages in the OT which speak to this. God makes reversals.
