Gaunt Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 TIL that (quote) "technically every Christian can be considered a Saint", yes even the criminals and the pedophile priests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 ^ depends on how devoted to Christianity you are though doesn't it..? Like, just saying you're a Christian doesn't automatically dictate that you can be considered a saint. You'd have to be devoted to Christianity's teachings. TIL that hugs are literally healthy for you. They "can instantly boost oxytocin levels, which heals feelings of loneliness, isolation, and anger... holding a hug for an extended time lifts one's serotonin levels, elevating mood and creating happiness... hugs strengthen your immune system. The gentle pressure on the sternum and the emotional charge this creates activates the Solar Plexus Chakra. This stimulates the thymus gland, which regulates and balances the body's production of white blood cells, which keeps you healthy and disease free" Hugs do more than just what I've mentioned but you can find more of that here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Oh i thought it was like that too but it seems not I don't get it .-. 'Cause it's only logic that if you have barely any Christian traits you cannot be Christian unless proven otherwise. Like, if someone were a convicted serial killer and just overall a horrible human being and then said "I'm a Christian" that statement would have zero value and could not be justified. It makes sense for any individual that's devoted to Christianity and it's teachings to be considered a saint, but not otherwise. o.O Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Logic and religion don't mesh well together True xD Logic and intuition is what the majority of religion is founded on though. Religion is personal belief in something, and belief is derived from human-instinctive logical solutions to otherwise [generally] un-explainable topics. People can't just one day wake up and become self-proclaimed Christians whilst committing as many acts against Christianity as they like, that's not how it works. Saying that you can't justify Christianity with logic is questioning the legitimacy of the entire religion xD (Found where you're referring to btw) Saying every devoted Christian is, by definition, a saint is completely right... but you're not a Christian if you don't follow or devote yourself to Christianity and its teachings Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 Faith is the strong belief in the doctrines of a religion based on spiritual conviction rather than proof and someone believes something after finding substantial evidence to back it up, in this case the evidence is instinctive and the human mind instinctively thinks in a logical way... but yeah sorry let's get back on topic, I don't mean to get so immersed into a topic like this :x TIL (or more accurately, a few weeks ago) how to do a polymerase chain reaction ^-^ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deleted User Posted May 17, 2015 Share Posted May 17, 2015 The term 'saint' has become far too revered in my opinion. When Gaunt and I think of 'saint' THIS is what comes to mind. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_early_Christian_saints 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Godot Posted May 20, 2015 Share Posted May 20, 2015 TIL a new subspecies of Pterosaurs Dinosaur has been recently discovered. and by recently I mean two years ago The researchers and Scientists who studied the creature came to the conclusion that it was unique enough to have it's own name and deemed it "The Aerodactylus" Guess where the name got it's inspiration from.

Maelstrom Posted May 26, 2015 Share Posted May 26, 2015 The candy that gives you a cavity just by looking at it is disgusting. Salty>Sweet. You sound Japanese. I mean, seasalt popsicles for crying out loud. I got a bag of japanese candy and treats from my buddy in the army who is half japanese and let me tell you. They weren't American candy sweet at all. Fruit rollups are delicious, and twizzlers are addictive as hell for some reason. But the best fruit rollups are those natural ones made from fruit and stuff. Especially the apple ones. TIL that the woman who plays the queen in 300 and GoT was the drug boss in that latest remake of Judge Dredd. I seriously did not recognize her.
