I write well. Extremely well to the point that I majored in journalism because I had no idea what to do and that seemed apropos. I hate working in journalism and there’s really no money in it. I’ve always been above average at most things without trying very hard. That does not build a very good base toward working really hard to excel at any one given thing. I’m probably underused. I’ve accepted that. I feel like I have some sort of understanding of the way things are that I can offer others, but unsure of the proper venue to share these thoughts with. They’re probably not extremely profound, either. I was raised Catholic and now identify as an agnostic atheist. I see no reason to believe a god exists, but I’m open to change if presented with compelling evidence. I’m probably a pessimist masquerading as an optimist because while I present myself as someone with hope that the human race will prevail, intellectually I believe we aren’t built to last. I smoke weed. I don’t really drink. I like maintaining my faculties. I could probably exercise more.

Back on track

I love you Des

Not even trolling with this shit, genuinely interested, but does your Catholic upbringing and you having a miscarriage conflict because of how they see purgatory @Destroyer ?

Are you asking if that's why he become an atheist?

I was more so wondering if the Catholic faith put him losing the baby down to some religious context as a punishment maybe? I don’t claim to be an expert in the Catholic faith but I know enough that if the child isn’t christened, it’s thought that the child’s soul goes to neither heaven nor hell and remains in purgatory, is that about right?

If you planned on baptizing your child, than it is assumed God would show mercy and not keep their soul in purgatory.

Catechism 1257
“Baptism is necessary for salvation for those to whom the Gospel has been proclaimed and who have had the possibility of asking for this sacrament.”

Destroyer · 08-07-2018, 01:08 PM

I don’t know
I’m the wrong person to ask as I think all of that shit is hogwash

Destroyer · 08-07-2018, 01:15 PM

Yeah also unsure on the exact question
If it’s what knuck said, absolutely not
I was atheist prior to that event

Destroyer · 08-07-2018, 01:41 PM

Hmmm
My living child isn’t being baptized, if that helps answer your query

Diablo · 08-07-2018, 01:46 PM

So this could be a viewed as a punishment for Des’ refusal to baptise his seed despite his Catholic upbringing?

savage

~RustyGunZ~ · 08-07-2018, 01:49 PM

I wouldn't say so.

His unborn child would still have had the ability to have the gospel proclaimed to them and would have had the ability to accept it.

People can be baptized at any point and on free will.

Destroyer · 08-07-2018, 01:50 PM

If the punishment was enacted before the crime
Which I suppose fits in with the tenets of Christianity

sral · 08-07-2018, 01:51 PM

I think Baptised and Christened are two different (though similar) things bro

If you were baptised in a Baptist church, then became Catholic, you would need to be Christened in the Catholic Church again maybe?

Destroyer · 08-07-2018, 01:53 PM

Nah, christening and baptism are the same thing

My family and my wife's are Catholic

When we said we weren't getting him baptized it didn't go down well

But not because of wording you donut

~RustyGunZ~ · 08-07-2018, 01:55 PM

What Des said but also yes to your second question.

It would be insulting for me to take communion at a baptist church and the other way around.
