Wow, so it’s kind of like the smart and kind person’s Christianity. I wondered if it’s closer to Unitarian. If I were you, I would choose that as closest because they have a Frank Lloyd Wright designed church, lol. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unity_Temple
Thanks for explaining it. I’m always surprised at how many versions of religion there can be. If you consider Mexican, Italian or even Midwest vs West Coast Catholic, you get 4 different nuanced religions with different customs. But like you said, even within the same physical church, you’ll get different types of worship.

That’s an interesting sect of Christianity. I’m not being shitty, I promise and this is an honest question. How does your church handle the inconsistencies in the bible? Do you have your own version other than the King James?
As Reformed churches, we belong to those churches of the Protestant Reformation that acknowledge Jesus Christ as Head of his church. He rules and governs his church by his Word and his Spirit, not by the dictates of men. Therefore, the authority of the creeds and confessions, to which all our office-bearers subscribe as fully agreeing with the Word of God, is always subordinate to the authority of his inspired and infallible Word, the Bible. It was in that context that our forefathers wrote the following Reformed confessions, also known as the Three Forms of Unity: the Belgic Confession, the Heidelberg Catechism, and the Canons of Dort. The ministers, elders, and deacons of each congregation sign the Form of Subscription as a promise to preserve and to propagate the faith contained in these doctrinal standards to the utmost of their abilities. With minor variations, this form has been used since the Reformation.

The beans are the friends you’ve met along the way.
- Comment on Whites never been so bright 1 week ago:
Really? The comments should have helped from the link inside the link. They were laughing about how few people were here 3 years ago and said people will upvote anything, even this can of beans. Then the legendary shit posters started posting beans in funny ways to farm for upvotes and make it funny.

How Much Would It Cost to End World Hunger?
The U.N. World Food Programme feeds over 100 million people facing severe hunger in more than 120 countries and territories every year. In 2021, WFP did this with a budget of $9.6 billion dollars, which was still $5.2 billion dollars short of their total funding requirements. Clearly, ending world hunger will require more money.
Back in July of 2021, former U.N. World Food Programme Executive Director David Beasley mentioned it would take an estimated $40 billion each year to end world hunger by 2030.

No problem. I just got King Arthur’s flour once by mistake, those turned out terrible. I’m sure there’s a reason that your Abuelo videos will explain. They are so good.

Tortillas are amazing right off the pan. It’s hard to eat anything else. So depending on your views on that information, you might want to wait or hurry up on making your own. Pro tip, make sure to use flour that a Mexican store would have and they seem to go through quickly.

Very interesting, thanks. It still won’t let me vote on your test link, but I might have did the crosslink wrong.

Do you know how to do a comment then? I know the devs know how to make it so it will do this automatically, not sure why this hasn’t been done or maybe there’s clients that do this?
- Comment on The musicians of the Boston Symphony Orchestra are poised to strike for the first time in their history 2 weeks ago:
The BSO has two more concerts on its schedule this weekend, Saturday night and Sunday afternoon, at Tanglewood, its beloved summer home in the Berkshires. The orchestra is set to begin its 146th season in September, with Nelsons and Yo-Yo Ma part of opening night on Thursday, Sept. 17.
I had to look up who Nelsons was and I have to say, I’m a little relieved. Yo-Yo Ma deserves every accolade he gets. www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0QCHdQxqKI&list=RDi0QCHd…

Cool visuals
- Comment on Simply Bananas 2 weeks ago:
Although the researchers never found the telemetry tapes, they did discover the best visual quality NTSC videotapes as well as Super 8 movie film taken of a video monitor in Australia, showing the SSTV transmission before it was converted. These visual elements were processed in 2009, as part of a NASA-approved restoration project of the first moonwalk. At a 2009 news conference in Washington, D.C., the research team released its findings regarding the tapes’ disappearance. They also partially released newly enhanced footage obtained during the search. Lowry Digital completed the full moonwalk restoration project in late 2009.

I’m absolutely implying intent. There are trolls here, for sure. I probably see it more because I mod a larger community and I’m in politics a lot. If you avoid those communities, you probably have a different perspective. People misunderstand too, and if I get it wrong I apologize.

It took awhile to get rid of that for me too. I can spot the trolls pretty easily here though, there are about 10 accounts maybe? I sometimes fall for the trap, but it’s getting rarer and rarer. I have found their patterns, but sometimes it takes me a few comments to see that it’s bad faith.
I think Lemmy/Piefed is so much less addicting, that it doesn’t really matter as much. I guess because the anger is the part that’s addicting and I never realized I was in it until I got away. It’s really strange though, I just quit cold turkey. Which is great, but strange. I’m so glad I did.

An example of how to do it:
You: EVs are better for the environment

You: I’m saying that EV’s are better for the environment no matter who makes them. Last comment.

Comment: Why are you saying that China should rule the world?
You: I never said that you asshole. Why are you sticking up for China, you fucking tankie. You’re a troll piece of shit, etc., etc.,
Comment: You said China is amazing, you obviously want to go down on them
You: Why are you saying this shit? Etc., etc., etc. blah, blah, blah
