Hahaha, I have seen that before. It is really quite beautiful. The Church did the same thing with the Aztecs. They took what was good about their culture and removed what was bad. Then let them take the good and use it to praise the One, True, God.

That is a cool book. Thanks for sharing!

Dang, sorry all. I created this community and then promplty abandoned it 🤣

I should probably make sure I pop on every now and then to moderate.

Welcome, nice to see some more fediCatholics!

Hey, thanks for those of you who responded courteously and constructive to the crazy Catholic 😊. I appreciate it. To anyone who might stumble upon this thread who is interested in learning more about the nature of Hell and Sin, here is a good article I found adressing the question. The same website also has a couple other articles on Hell. https://www.catholic.com/magazine/online-edition/what-is-hell God Bless! I guess the atheist version of that would be nice talk’in 😄

Just gonna say, as a Catholic, He never sends anyone to Hell, they send themeselves to Hell. Furthermore, the whole “Hell is the worst pain you can imagine” immediately makes one think Of a torture chamber. That isn’t neccessarily what Hell is. Hell is simply a separation from God. It is being alone and miserable that is thgreatest pain.

The whole idea of God sending people to infinite torture because man is a depraved, wicked thing is a very harmful calvinistic idea.

Not trying to be a troll. I just want to set the records straight.

Wait, did you install the rom on a non nothing phone?

No offense, but halfway through skimming this I started seriously wondering if it was satire. It was about as negative as you can get. How about we set down this republican vs. democrat stuff and start just going pro-america. If anything is going to destroy america, it is going to be this continuous “us vs. evil them” dialogue.

If I was trying to scam you i wouldn’t exactly admit to it :)

I have been with them from the early alpha stage to present. They are almost releasing into beta. So far, no alarm bells have gone off in my head. They are very open and transparent and have answered nearly every question that is posed to them by the community. I would suggest checking out their discord server and seeing for yourself. Plus, if you join their Discord server, you will get earlier access.

P.S. I have been using it for a couple months now and it has been working. It is also working for the couple hundred other alpha testers. So, it works.

Great, thanks!

Dang it. Long live Crypto!

I think around 200,000 seems pretty accurate going off of lemmyverse.net. I sorted the instances by number of users and it seems like it would add up good. The first five servers were 36k, 19k, 11k, 8k, 4k users. After that it was just a bunch of instances with less than 2k users. But that doesn’t mean we can’t get it up to 6 million :) Let’s keep on welcoming the redditers.

Wow, we only have 128,000 while mastadon has 2 million? We got a lot of ground to catch up :)

I’m self-hosting some stuff on a yunohost server but i plan to switch to start9 once they add support for clearnet.

• Nextcloud
• Jellyfin
• Calibreweb
• Email (though I don’t really use it)

I would be hosting more but our internet is too slow for anything else to really be effective.

Dang, that looks like a really cool combo! Only draw back, no imessage, which is unfortunately what most people use. But still looks pretty dang cool.
