Why is there a nsfw channel

🤔

<:degeneracy:509490337237172249>

So people dont spill their garbage into other channels

And dont kid yourself by saying that you'd never post something cringy or non-wholesome stuff on discord

Also its a containment zone for people that misbehave

So Christian #chernobyl then <:GWcorbinTopKek:384871333705678868>

Hmm

Ratherfully

I can see the use for that

Are any of the members here from the Balkans?

Uhhhh... A few, but I cant recall rn

Im Moscow Patriarchate myself

What do you guys think about the whole Ukraine situation

With the church I mean

God needs to retire bart

That's my opinion

Tattoos aren't sinful.

Just don't be frivolous.

The absolute state of Catholics <:GWlulurdMmmYea:402868023393910794>

In and of themselves, no.

But the reasons people get them these days are asinine.

@The Captain, could you elaborate?

I'm Macedonian Orthodox myself, though I'm trying to find a Bulgarian Orthodox parish @Daniil

?

That's no easy task in Serbia

Having no idea how communion in orthodoxy works, I don't really follow the significance

We dont do sectarianism on this server @The Captain

Keep this in mind

@GodFearingEnglishman I just find it funny that a Catholic of all people would defend the plague that are tattoos

They are a plague

But one must be careful in saying why they are a plague

Saying "no, on the whole, this isn't sinful" is hardly a defence. Just stating facts.

Which is not because they are themselves a sin, but because they usually are a symptom of short-sightendness, degeneracy, wanting to be a special snowflake, etc

Saying 'just don't be frivolous' to someone who's planning to get tattoos to express their region of origin and to cover up their skin is no different than encouraging them to sin outright

Here is a common tattoo which pilgrims used to have after visiting the Holy Land, since 1300. Is this sinful? Is it a plague?

Would I be "encouraging someone to sin outright" if I told them that they could get it?

One must differentiate "sinful" from "stupid"

We're talking about a very specific situation here, buddy. Quit trying to change the goalpost @GodFearingEnglishman

Doing no such thing.

The goalpost is whether or not tattoos are sinful
