Christian Discussion Thread VIII: Augustine's Revenge.

[Auristania]

Troparion in many languages is awesome, expecially Slavonic, Ukrainian and Albanian. First one has been taken down.

What do you think of Agnostic people thread?

I believe in the possibility that it may or may not be an okay thread.

What do you think of Agnostic people thread?

I don't believe I have sufficient information to think one way or another

Happy Julian Calendar Christmas.


Unfortunately, I'm not at home, but at a conference in Texas. Archaeology conferences clearly don't have enough respect for the Julian Calendar.

Dear Saint Elrond, your prayers obtained miracles during your lifetime. You still seem to move at ease in the realm of minor and major miracles. Saint Elrond, Performer of Miracles, please obtain for me the blessings Eru Ilúvatar holds in reserve for those who serve Him. Pray that I may be worthy of the promises my Lord Manwë attaches to confident prayer.

South Carolina just got several inches of snow last night. Our Christmases aren't usually white, but are Januaries are.

So, let me tell you a story.

A few months since my grandfather passed away, I was playing video games in my room.

I could have sworn that I heard him calling me from downstairs like he used to in his last years.

So, I checked and no one was there.

But I know my voices, that was my Grandfather calling me. No one else in the house did.

I often think I hear my dad calling me, and he's 800 miles away. The brain is a mysterious thing, without sufficient input it starts to create, hallucinations both auditory and visual.

Point is, I wouldn't put too much stock in it. If we want to hear something or see something, sometimes our brains will make that happen.

I've never experienced this, though just a lot of members of my family has.

Everyone's different. There's no guarantee you'll experience something like this. However, the effects of sensory deprivation and/or grief, on the brain has been researched quite extensively.

Were you in the part of Texas that had snow on the seventh?

According to my Ancestry tree, Christ was my 66th great grand uncle... I'm pretty sure that violates someone's dogma...

No, but I remember the RCC signed such an agreement a while ago, at least with Kirill in Cuba, and maybe also earlier? Catholics used to swoop into largely Orthodox countries during unstable periods (like Lebanon after the Civil War, and Russia after the collapse of the USSR) and swamp the Orthodox with missionaries. The Fatima thing certainly didn't help this. Some Catholics, since they were allowing for Easter Rite, thought this would foster unity, but instead it actually amplified animosity.

Ecumenicism is increasingly taking the place of God. Already has among Mainline Protestants.
