I had to search the Internet for an answer, because as you and I figured out the traditions we have are different and we live under the domination of different churches, Catholic and Christian, the answer is stuffed turkey, yes you eat it on Christmas according to tradition, we traditionally have tangerines, champagne and Olivier in New Year)
New Year from December 31 to January 1 is more important than Christmas, because in Russia not everyone believes in God and many other religions, many do not celebrate it in vain, but how do you remember Christmas in Russia on January 7🌲🍾

Пришлось искать в интернете ответ, ибо как мы с тобой вычислили традиции у нас разные и живем по господству разных церквей, католической и христианской, ответ фаршированная индейка, да вы едите ее в Рождество по традиции, у нас по традиции мандарины, шампанское и оливье в Новый год) Новый год с 31 декабря на 1 января важнее, чем Рождество, ибо в России не все верят в бога и множество других религий, его по попусту многие не отмечают, а как ты помнишь в России Рождество 7 января🌲🍾

It is factual that, and I correct you, “faerie,” is not the correct term. And is in fact, a slur. Ours, associate with mass r4pes and killings on the Fae, men, women, and children alike, which were done by the humans who gave the slur, “faeries.” Wore our ears as necklaces. Lol. Trophies. Took all of which was sacred to us, such as silver, and used as a weapon against us. Raided and set fire to hundreds of Fae villages. All because the Catholic Church declared us as demons. They were afraid of us. Lol. Despite, our kindness to them. Oh. And they of course used weaker Fae that they chose not to kill, as slaves as well. Lol. Using the term, “Faeries.”

---

That is reality. That is what has been, forgotten. Which, was purposeful. So, yes. “Faeries” is a slur. It always have been. Always will be. We have always been called the Fae, for longer than the human realm was created.

---

Do not challenge us, on what reality is. You do not know nearly enough about us, to make such judgements.

Good day.

There is no dress code in the churches I attend (except for musicians and choir members). Wearing levi's or sneakers is accepted as are members of the LGBTQ community, the homeless, the disabled and all minorities. The services that I perform at focus on the teachings of Christ and the practical applications of those teachings. The church does not condone or encourage hate, division, racism, homophobia or misogyny, etc. Instead, the uniqueness of each individual, our differences and shared humanity are celebrated. For example, I am a heterosexual, but I respect the rights of alternative lifestyles and people to make their own personal decisions as long as they do not hurt other people in the process.
I understand that religions have made many mistakes in the past and will continue to make mistakes in the future, because we are human; but, in my opinion, the churches that I belong to (Catholic and Unity) are accepting of all people and they try their best through education and various charitable ministries to make the world we live in a better and more hospitable place for all.

I think it's important to know and discuss... To see where you and that person, matches up on the spectrum.

---

Those were some things I wanted to know about my current bf, when we first started dating... and it definitely challenged me a bit because we had some differences.

---

He "was" catholic, but that kinda ruined his relationship with God/religion altogether.. So, he technically doesn't believe in anything? But still believes in a higher being... Just doesn't attach a label or religion, to it. Whereas, I considered myself Christian... and it was curious to see why he felt that way about religion... Which I get now, and I don't ever want to push it on him. Our politics, mostly match up, all in all, but we definitely have differences... Which I think is good to have, because it challenges you to think more about those things, and challenges what you believe and why you believe it!

---

I don't make politics or religion the "main center" of my relationship, though! It just may come up, every now and then.

I grew up in a Catholic household, there was nothing super bad about it. I went to Catholic schools most my young life also. I also was an alter girl for 5+ years, by choice.

---

But after my father died when I was 16, I just sort of stopped believing in it. I couldn't understand why someone who was still kinda young, and a wonderful person was taken away. And other bad people keep going. Then there's other parts I just felt weird about. Like why should be do good things because God told us if we do good things we will go to heaven. Like... Surely you should do good things because it's the right thing to do period. Regardless where you go when you die. And when good stuff does happen in life, I feel like God gets all the credit, when actually it's from all the blood sweat and tears of people on earth.

---

Also as I've gotten older I just became a bit more free thinking. Wanted to decide for myself what life was about and not have stuff from a book, they think was written by some man about a guy there's no proof existed other than his word.

I respect anyone who believes it, and don't deny them that. I am open minded. If that's the truth, I accept it. But I wasn't to be open minded to other possibilities and not just have tunnel vision on one thing.

This answer is based on my personal experience, and I do not intend to judge or offend everyone who might see this answer.

I was in high school at that time when some of my friends invited me to participate in their Bible study after class. I'm a catholic, and they are Born Again Christians (if I'm not mistaken), and since I have free time and my friend will also be there, maybe out of curiosity, I joined.

---

Throughout the session, everyone was taking turns sharing their stories (stories about struggles, aspirations, desires, and prayers). I'm just observing and empathizing with them, and when it was my time to share, I refused to share my story, maybe because I'm afraid they would use it against me later on or when they find out my weakness, they'll perhaps tease and belittle me in some ways. So I keep saying no, it's okay, I'm just here to listen, and I don't have an interesting story to share anyway. But I ended up sharing my story because they asked me, not because I want so that they won't label me as a killjoy.

---

What impact does it have on your thoughts, Attitudes, values, and actions?

---

Thoughts and Attitudes:
At that time, it was evident to me that we were forced to do things out of curiosity, peer pressure, and the fear of being left behind. So we do things just to fit in and get along, and not because we want to, especially in this generation where everyone is craving attention and love to be in the spotlight. It is also an opportunity to explore, learn, and try new things we rarely do and experience.

---

Values and Action:
After that session, I'm thankful and relieved that I participated because It brought us closer together and somehow learned from them. We continue to do Bible Study after class, despite our religious differences. That scenario taught me that It's okay to do things out of your comfort zone that it's okay to live a little different from other people because your different views will somehow bind you as one who is honoring and glorifying God by all means.

"Many of the greatest horrors in human history owe their occurrence solely to the establishment and social application of a false reality. With gratitude to the Catholic philosopher Josef Pieper and his landmark 1970 essay" Abuse of Language, Abuse of Power "for the term and the idea, we can refer to these alternative realities as ideological pseudo-realities.

---

Pseudo-realities, being false and unreal, will always generate tragedy and evil on a scale at least proportional to the extent of their control over power, which is their main interest, be it social, cultural, economic, political or (particularly) a combination. of several or all of them. So important to the development and tragedies of societies are these pseudo-realities as they arise and take root that it is worth outlining their basic properties and structure so that they can be properly identified and resisted before they result in socio-political calamities, up to and including war. . , genocide and even the collapse of civilization, all of which can cost many millions of lives and ruin many millions more in the vain pursuit of a fiction whose believers are, or have been made.

Before I respond to your question please allow me to thank you for this thoughtful and well written question. Hopefully... you will send more thought provoking questions. Thank You!

---

For me there are many subjects that I consider taboo i.e. religion, politics, Covid vaccinations, climate change, woke cancel culture, globalism, progressive liberalism, Marxism, Catholic Church, abortion, sexuality, gender, homosexuality, LGBT, race, white supremacy, indentured servitude, Critical Race Theory, Capitalism, the pandemic, crime, justice, history, the law, the environment, abortion and much, much more.

---

I refuse to discuss any of these topics on Social Networks because, in my opinion, the "woke cancel culture fanatics" lack the intellectual aptitude and emotional stability required to debate without resorting to screaming, name calling or insulting their opponent. And in the end the "woke warrior" will not be persuaded or enlightened, nor will they ever change their opinion or even acknowledge that it is healthy to debate opposing ideologies and points of view. And so in the final analysis, it would be a waste of my time attempting to educate someone who is unwilling or incapable of comprehending alternative opinions, perspectives and thoughts. I would rather talk to an inanimate object, such as a rock, than waste my time attempting to reason with anyone who rejects reality based upon facts, science, evidence and reasoned observation, experimentation and analysis.

When I was in the Army I got accepted into the biomedical program at the University of Washington. My girlfriend at the time talked me into going back to Michigan for the summer, my plan was to head straight to Washington and get settled and she was going to join me after a month or so. Well I went to Michigan. Then she talked me into putting it off for a semester which I did. Then she dumped me for another guy. Well here I am in Michigan still, now going to a community college. Fucking women will ruin your life if you let them.
This is for the dads out there. When my kids were little I went through this weird selfish stage (the reason isn't important) which as a result I missed several of their birthday parties. Blew it off at the time but years later it started to really bother me. They usually went to one specific pizza / gaming place, and I can't drive past it now without feeling regret.
Not meeting someone I met on-line that could very well have changed my life. He's well known in his genre of books, but I was hesitant because of a couple of things that seem rather silly and petty now. Couple of months ago I had another opportunity to meet him face to face, I was embarrassed to approach his table because of our on-line relationship (it became sexual). I regret that I cannot be a fan on his FB page and interact with fellow fans, I'm so embarrassed by what we did.
Not changing my major to something else when I came home from college to a community college. tl;dr I had a nervous breakdown at a small Catholic college because it was cultish and I didn't fit it. I also was an education major and went with it in community college until I transferred to another college and saw designing lesson plans was not for me.
Six years ago I broke up with a long time girlfriend, she was coming out of a severe deppression due to the death of her parents in a car accident, we were fighting one night, I don't even remember why, I just remember it was a stupid meaningless fight. It was 2 am, she told me she never wanted to see me again, then grabbed her keys to her motorbike and left. She was drunk too, She drove out to the beach and drowned herself. I still know I could have and should have stopped her.
This is probably going to sound like a petty first-word problem, but I have huge regrets about not accepting my admission to the Naval Academy. I was already enlisted in the Marine Corps at the time and the thought of signing away 10 more years of my life scared me away at the last minute.
I ended up finishing my enlisted contract and going to an Ivy League college, so it's not like it had any negative effect on my life, but I still regret it a lot and get really jealous every time a new class starts their plebe year. By now I'm too old to attend, even if I wanted to.

Performing at Unity Church this morning. The band members have been playing for years in various bands and today was one of those days where everything clicked. Of course I always enjoy playing my guitar, especially live, but what I love the most is when the vocals and harmony kick ass. There is something about 3 and 4 part harmony (think eagles) that I simply love being part of. Typically what I do is listen to what everyone else is singing and I add the 3rd or 4th part. And the audience feedback was awesome. Unlike the Catholic church where I have to play reserved and cannot really be too expressive musically, in the Unity prayer service they actually allow me to open up and play. What a treat.

Now I must admit that hanging out with my wife at Home Depot, Costco and Target was also fun. There is nothing more stimulating than hanging out with the woman you love in the plumbing aisle debating which toilet flapper is more pretty i.e. the red one or the black one. Anne selected the red flapper (see photo) because it matched her red curtains.

I transferred school when I was in 4th grade. I was always shy even in my first school so it's not news I'm a lot timid on the new. 😂 But I liked it better there because everyone's friendly (all the girls, some of the boys). One afternoon, my friend and I were alone in our classroom answering our Filipino assignment (lol we're both comparing each other's answers) and while at it, we're talking about something and suddenly, a figure passed by at her back. I just looked at it casually and get back to stare at my friend's face to listen to what her saying. She actually felt something because some of her hair actually moved as if a swift of air passed by.

---

But I was really bizarre that time because when she asked me if someone's passed by or a classmate was hiding to mess with her, I said that there's no one and we're alone. It took me months to remember that particular moment again. And when my mind's getting clearer, an image of a tall and beautiful nun (in her black nun uniform) was passing by at my friend's back straight to the green board and vanishing (as if she's naruto). The fact that she doesn't looked asian confused me. And I never told that story to anyone because as a young girl that grew up in a household with strong faith and belief as a catholic, telling people I saw a ghost of a nun seems disrespectful. People won't believe me because even me, I've been telling myself I'm just imagining things that time. 😂😂😂

This is a repost and discusses cheating or infidelity as it relates to marriage. However, the concept can be applied to any relationship involving two people.

---

Cheating essentially is when you take an action the violates the trust of your partner. Before you take any action involving another person ask yourself this fundamental question: "If my husband or wife or partner were observing me right now, would they approve of my behavior?" If the answer is no, you are in violation of their trust and, in my opinion, are being unfaithful.

Marriage is a sacrament in which a husband and wife promise, before God, to love and care for each other for better or for worse until death. This is both a commitment and a contract before God. Married couples, or in this case a wife, who falls in love with a young man on the Internet are violating their marriage vows and committing a mortal sin.
Although many married men and women engage in "cybersex" on the Internet and send inappropriate text messages while engaging in virtual sex (sexting) using Skype, WhatsApp and other applications, this behavior is considered unethical and immoral according to the Catholic Church and the medical community. . . In fact, if my own partner behaved like this, it would end our relationship. Why? Because I find sexting offensive and disrespectful. And although there is no physical contact, sexting is insidious and results in physical attraction, sexual arousal, and ultimately infatuation or love. Cybersex will destroy a marriage and a family.

I find that many people who do not believe in God or who reject the notion of intelligent design also reject anything related to religion which includes: The 7 deadly sins, The Bible, The Koran, The 10 commandments, etc. For atheists, everything is relative to either their "feelings" or to their fake pseudo-science. For example, most atheists I know are proponents of abortion and believe that abortion is acceptable. They attempt to use pseudo-science to prove that the "human fetus" is NOT human when, in fact, the child's DNA proves that it is human. And this is just one example of what I consider to be the atheists unjustifiable and irrational justification for murder.

---

Another example is the atheists insistence that God does not exist, right? And when you ask an atheist to prove that God does not exist they either state the "Big Bang" theory as though it was fact and they actually witnessed it, or they become obnoxious and declare: "God, if you really exist, turn this temple into gold or raise my mother from the dead."

---

Yes, I am taking literary license with my choice of thoughts and words here, but my meaning and intent is clear. Any person of faith who has every attempted to communicate with an atheist or (heaven forbid) tried to convert them, would achieve better results talking to a rock.

---

The attached quote tells you everything you need to know about atheists and their so called belief in "absolute knowledge" and the complete rejection of faith. Perhaps this explains why so many atheists who I personally know, suffer from depression and anxiety.

I think many after lives are real, in many versions. Good ones, bad ones, and neutral ones.
I believe the catholic version of “heaven” exists, but based off evidence very little of mankind has ever gone or will ever go there. Yahweh is a very unforgiving, rigid, uncaring god that looks down at humanity far more than other gods do (hence why you don’t really hear of him coming to earth to mate with humans like other gods have, except maybe the Jesus story. But that’s the only time you hear of his having a son on earth, and if you pay attention it’s obvious it was only to spread his religion) and only a select few of his favorites could ever hope to go there. It’s my own personal belief that anyone else who sells their souls to him (an example of this being willful baptism) will be used as a battery to raise his power. The god of the New Testament bible is not the real Yahweh, and most Christians today don’t acknowledge that. They may be going somewhere if he bothers to notice, but it won’t be their idea of heaven.
Just my thoughts on that.

You have to stop thinking this way about sex and your body. You are an adult and made a mature decision to have sex. There are no assurances and it can always go both ways. If you cannot handle it then don't have sex outside a commitment or marriage. But it's really better to develop a healthier attitude about sex, especially if you're going to do it outside a relationship. May nakuha ka rin naman. You also enjoyed. Or maybe you didn't and that's the problem. It's a very Pinay thing to consent to sex and then feel something is taken from them. Blame Catholic conservative upbringing, sexism, and patriarchy. Kasi ang lalake hindi ganito mag-isip, they just enjoy and shrug it off kung ayaw na nung isa. Be the same. Don't have sex if you don't enjoy it and if the experience can't stand alone for you. Equating it with love means trouble. If you can't then don't have sex until you've established love and commitment. Marriage even para walang kawala (though that's also a distaster). And most of all, safe sex please. You're the one who bears all the consequences and you need to take charge.

Упродовж року у Європі зафіксували понад 500 злочинів на ґрунті ненависті до християнства

---

До числа таких злочинів входять напади на священників, акти вандалізму, атаки на об’єкти соціальної інфраструктури, осквернення Найсвятіших Тайн, повідомляє Catholic News Agency.
https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/more-than-500-hate-crimes-against-europes-christians-recorded-in-2019-59093

---

Найбільше злочинів на ґрунті ненависті до християнства було здійснено у Франції. Там зафіксували 144 випадки. Також в ОБСЄ повідомили про 81 інцидент у Німеччині, 75 в Іспанії та 70 в Італії.

---

Загалом в ОБСЄ зафіксували 595 випадків агресії проти християн. З них 459 – напади на власність, 80 – жорстокі напади на людей.

---

Значна частина випадків, які позиціонують як напади на власність, стосується профанації Найсвятіших Тайн. Святотатці вривалися до храмів, нищили дарохранильницю і або викрадали Найсвятіші Тайни, або розкидали Їх по підлозі.

---

Також досить помітним явищем є підпали храмів. Так, у Франції упродовж 2019 року відбулося щонайменше 20 підпалів церков.

У США тривають антихристиянські напади: підпалено два храми
19 Листопада, 2020

Минулої неділі у місті Брустер, що в штаті Вашингтон, було здійснено одразу два підпали християнських храмів.

---

Як інформує National Catholic Register,
https://www.ncregister.com/news/two-churches-in-washington-state-burn-in-apparent-arson-attacks
зловмисники спробували спалити католицьку церкву Найсвятішого Серця, а також баптистський храм Нового Завіту. У католицькому храмі від пожежі постраждала лише вівтарна частина. Більших ушкоджень зазнав храм баптистів.

---

Напади були здійснені майже одночасно.

---

Слід зауважити, що напередодні, у суботу, спостерігалися масові фізичні напади лівих екстремістів на учасників ходи на підтримку Трампа, що відбувалася у столиці.

---

Антихристиянські напади активізувалися у США влітку цього року на хвилі протестів Black lives matter. Поширеною формою висловлення ненависті до християнства була вандалізація статуй на честь Христа, Діви Марії та святих. Учасники протестів нерідко обмальовували фасади храмів графіті. Також зафіксовано кілька випадків серйозних пошкоджень храмів, у тому числі шляхом підпалу.
