It’s funny when people call Ron Paul a racist, because Ron Paul is an individualist rather than a collectivist.
What that means is that you do not have any special rights conferred to you for belonging to a particular group. There are no white rights, or black rights, or male rights, only HUMAN rights.
You have your individual rights by virtue of your Creator (in an atheist’s...

Is Getting Drunk a Mortal Sin? →
Q - Is getting drunk a mortal sin? A - First of all, I will leave the judgment of any particular person’s culpability (guilt) to their confessor (whether one has committed all that is needed for a mortal sin or not). In other words, it isn’t my place to judge your particular circumstances. I will try and answer the question on an objective level. The Bible says the following about...

Guys.
Christian privilege exists.
It exists in that people prefer us over atheists in many spheres. People treat us differently (better in the majority of social interactions) solely because we are Christian.
When people criticize our beliefs, be it in hatred/misunderstanding/anything else, we have to understand— we might be the most dedicated person to social justice in the...

Men are often painted as predators. We are often treated as though all we want is sex. We’re not trusted by a lot of women. I’m not going to rape anyone, but I can’t buy a woman a drink without her weighing the likeliness of assault.
1 in 6 women are raped. The majority of those rapist are...

“The Kingdom of God begins here on earth, just as hell does - within us, that is, in the heart and soul of a man, by his way of life. Beyond the threshold of eternity both the one and the other only grow, infinitely, unto likeness to the angels or to the devils.”
- Father Raphael of Optina

Misconceptions about Catholics.
sweetandlovelygirl7:
I feel like a lot of people assume things about us that aren’t true. It’s not fair for people to stereotype us without even looking into anything. If you know nothing about Catholicism other than what you’ve heard in the media, you probably have a LOT of misconceptions. Feel free to reblog and add to the list/expand on any points.
We don’t worship Mary or the saints. We see...

guess what?
bethmeetsworld:
I am 100% devoutly Catholic. Yep, I am against the legalization of gay marriage. I am also unequivocally against abortion. BUT CONTRARY TO POPULAR BELIEF, none of this means that I am homophobic. Or that I want to force women to raise children against their will.
These things are not mutually exclusive. And anyone who thinks that they are mutually exclusive is showing off their...
