    Salvation for the non-believers?

    Oh, absolutely not. But my question is more, if I have the slim chance to be saved thanks to opening my heart to the grace of God, it makes me feel sad that my family doesn’t even seem to get to have that chance; and so what can I do for them? Do they have any chance at all? (Though it seems...

    Salvation for the non-believers?

    I am in the process of conversion (will be baptized on Easter Vigil), but among my friends and family, I’m the only one who’s decided to convert. In general, I think the people I love and care have lived virtuous lives on earth so far thanks to their consciences. But because all of them are...

    My recent struggle with gender

    Oh, I see. I don’t really think of these things as particularly masculine as they’re more generally prosocial behavior. I do that stuff too and don’t feel particularly “manly” just because I’m helping other people out. If it’s really just that level of basic charity that you think is...

    The highly profitable IVF industry is dehumanizing and entirely unregulated — and ends far more unborn lives each year than surgical abortion...

    I wish that every “spare” embryo could have the chance to be born. My sister was born with IVF and she is a wonderful child; I am happy she was born. My mother tried to implant many embryos before my sister and they all died in utero before they could be born. She grieved all of them. But I...

    My recent struggle with gender

    I see from your profile that you are the same age as me. People in our generation seem to struggle a lot with gender in our modern society. Because the world changes and the ideal of what it means to be a man or a woman are largely reduced to their most repulsive components in mass media aimed...

    Anyone like to crochet or knit?

    I made a little stuffed cat out of yarn! Now I’m working on making some clothes for her.

    What Are You Currently Writing?? ^-^ =3

    I’m currently in the process of outlining a murder mystery fanfiction. Because I think the murder setup will be derivative (I am not good at coming up with locked room murders), and the main narrative conceit is also derivative (the way that truth and reality will be treated as subjective is...

    I don't like the boys tv show

    Though of course it’s ludicrously violent and irreverent, the self stated nihilistic worldview of the setting also seems to be subverted somewhat by the author’s desire to have a satisfying story in which evil is defeated. I feel like Homelander is an obvious antichrist figure in the series, and...

    Does a book series have to be written or published in chronological order?

    Of course not—after all, the Chronicles of Narnia were not written or published in chronological order, and people love prequels as well as sequels. If you write the story you want, and fill in the pieces as you go, I think it would create a better reading and writing experience.

    Hello world!

    Those threads were very interesting. I think that the parallels between Christianity and other non-Christian religions can be used for outreach and common understanding. A lot of the same basic morality in this world is shared between everyone but humans love to reinvent the wheel…

    Anyone like to crochet or knit?

    It has been unseasonably cold in the part of the country where I live, so I was happy to finish these mittens before the subzero weather subsided! I had a lot of fun using them to throw snowballs with my friends and they kept my hands very warm.

    What’s on your mind?

    I’m sorry to hear you were unwell, but happy belated birthday! Hope this year will be a happy year for you. It must be nice to be born on a holiday as the whole world can celebrate together with you.

    The wild cabbage gallery

    I have very little free time that I can spend drawing, so this thread will probably be updated rather infrequently. I am fairly new to Christianity. As a child, Christian traditions and even holidays were deliberately withheld from me by my family. Of course, I still grew up in the United...

    Trump inauguration moving indoors due to cold weather

    I’m sure the White House wants to avoid another William Henry Harrison situation. It’s a pity, because my husband will be in DC for the long weekend and hoped to see the inauguration. But a bunch of scattered indoor events isn’t nearly as exciting.

    Hello world!

    It’s nice to meet everyone. I guess technically I am not Christian yet, because I am still taking RCIA/OCIA classes and have not yet been baptized. Hopefully by Easter Vigil I can live up to the faith named in my profile! It’s nice to see that there’s a dedicated forum for discussing...
