There is a central core teaching of Christianity which is valuable or I should say _was_ valuable

As a vehicle for informing our choices in life

@esotericpazuzuism I were too but someone not only forbade but bombed the party here ...

We are entering into a new age and it doesn't make sense any more

People don't have faith

Christianity is a general guide book for life.... you have to do something for yourself

Well I do

I adhere to old values

like working at age 15?

Well, actually I did

just under the table

or more the convenient old values?

like not paying taxes and screaming about freeloaders?

just, kidding

I don't see the reason for considering yourself the arbiter of who should be booted

kids shouldn't pay taxes

I don't see that anyone gets booted from this server

@Hermitage Not the server

but you considered me to adhere to outdated, more harm than good beliefs

It may not be ideal in your eyes

but its not more harm than good

today I thought about the word "Papa" @JFGariepy

You're right, it's not more harm than good

But to the extent that it interferes with the establishment of the new ideology

It's not great

Trying to live according to an old way when we exist in a new world

not many people use it, is it common in Quebec to address the father as papa?

I think is unhelpful

whats up

Problem is that the "new ideology" doesn't exist yet; people are looking for it, and falling into this siren song of "just convert to Catholicism and it'll be fine"

I don't believe that it will be fine

The problems that we face now and that we're dealing with now

Cannot be answered by Catholicism

There is no scripture that teaches us how to deal with social media

I don't believe that catholicism is suited to our problems

because I don't treat it as a solution

> There is no scripture that teaches us how to deal with social media
@Hermitage there is

social media is about pride

I treat it as a means to not burn in hell for all eternity

pride is a sin

Well, yes that is true
