A Split Topic

[Chairman_Tiel]

"If the OP requests it."

If you want all the effwctive communication you praise, don't request it. Dead simple, mate.

No shit, sherlock. I'm pretty sure that the absence of any such request in any communicative thread is a given. I was referring to fascist topics.

And anyone who does request it acknowledges they may kill their own topic.

This, too, shouldn't be a 'maybe' but a certainty.

Dear lord, can't y'all just be adults about this?

[Archduke Daynel, PhD]

People on this website are incapable of being adults about anything, as well you know.

Despair is a sin, Daynel.

CMA, did you take catholicism again?

Looks more like he took common sense

I was aiming at his "dispair is a sin" comment.
The "be adults about it"-thing is common sense tho, yes.

I think rejecting despair is commonsense too, being optimistic and pessimistic are both retarded.
But yes, regardless of my recent dive into sin and degeneracy, I'm still Catholic. I literally could not become apostate if/when I wanted to.

[Ivan2006]

Are you saying it is physically impossible for you to stop being catholic?
And on the topic of despair, you can try to not give in to it, but you can not avoid it.
You do not control your feelings, therefore your feelings could not be sins.
A sin can only ba a concious action, at least otherwise the whole system would be kinda pointless.

The concept of original sin begs to differ.

I am frustrated yet again by my inability to find the 'what is this I don't even' meme face with the guy holding his hands up by his head. What are you supposed to be, then?

[Vinyl]

What are you supposed to be, then?

Perhaps extremely pragmatic?

Moral Pragmatist, if you want to put a label on it.

May I be allowed acess to the information on why you physically can not stop being catholic?
And at least according to
http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/despair
Despair is in general a state of hopelessness. Both our interpretations are partially correct, while I admit that you might actually have used it better.

However, I would like to point out to you that while you may be in control of your emotions quite well, many people are not.
For a lot of people, life is just very bad. Due to them not believing in god, they may have no hope of better times in an afterlife and without a bright future in the material world being likely, they may just give up all hope. Those people are in a very bad situation. Your mentality is essentially telling these people, who have no hope, but not enough control over their feelings that not having hope was ever a concious decision, that they should "stop being so miserable". That would not be helping those people. For them, that is litterally the same as if you told a poor guy to "get some money". Think about that.
