It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Love it when a tradcath cryptofascist gets to dialogue with a tradcath fascist about Wookiepedia-level religious trivia

I'd link but I think it's deleted

Yeah it's like Catholic ultraleftism: I'm the only smart one, everyone else is a dummy, so that's why Jesus closed the door for all of us to press the Eucharist button.

Catholicism 5th edition has been very controversial for being too simple and accessible to wide audiences, elitist players want to go back to 3.5

tfw you realize religious trivia is all neurodivergent folks could obsess and argue over until very very recently and that the council of Nicaea was essentially a posting war

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 34 points 4 months ago

This is peak theory tbh, just imagining Nicea as being the first tradcath struggle session

god be like: my son/daughter, you have not followed the letter of the law and thus will sit in hell for one million years. fucking nerds stg

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 45 points 4 months ago (3 children)

It's even worse, they're saying that even if you were to follow the letter of the law, you're doomed to hell anyway because all the sacraments are invalid since the Church itself went too far by letting women do the readings in Mass or whatever.

Many Roman Catholics (not even "sedes" or "trads") receive communion in Byzantine parishes for this reason

They do not.

it's amazing that people have made up such convoluted complexity applied to nothing. Like, it's all entirely made up. It's nonsense built atop a foundation of nonsense.

The lady from season 3 of Succession wants us all to know we killed God with heresy?

[–] Black_Mald_Futures@hexbear.net 28 points 4 months ago (16 children)

Religion is so fuckinv stupid idk how anyone can take even the smallest bit of this shit seriously. I literally cannot fathom a person being a Christian with the knowledge that there's like 57 different fucking flavors of christianity. How the fuck do you know you got the real one? You don't, dummy. Sorry the real true church of god is some splinter from some catholic heresy that only exists in the mountains of Ethiopia or some shit

And then you've got stuff like the split between Jews and Samaritans (ignoring all the differences between Jews of varying orthodoxy) with the Samaritans believing they follow the REAL Torah

Every theological debate i've ever seen or witnessed just comes off as people masturbating over fan fiction

somehow less interesting and less spiritually relevant to life than a debate between two dorks about Warhammer 40k deep lore.

Isn’t the whole point of being Catholic that it’s not your job or right to debate this stuff? Stop being Protestant! Go to mass! Listen to what you’re told!

[–] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 32 points 4 months ago (1 children)

The tradcaths keep accidentally inventing Protestantism because they think the papacy is too woke and soy

That’s the whole point of christianity in general. Essentially, the bible is the done deal. Priests exist to guide people towards the book. But you’re supposed to have faith that it’s all real and makes sense even if you don’t understand it. Questioning the validity of x miracle or y sacrament is essentially the equivalent of lucifer demanding equality with God or Eve wanting all knowledge

The worst thing is that they are talking a lot of heretical ultraconservative nonsense. Lay people have no say in what is or is not an effective sacrament. I hope all these "trads" admit once and for all that they are actually Protestants. Besides, if they are such traditionalists, the Apostle Paul writes that women have no voice in these matters: they can't even be conservative right.
