A little while, and you will see me no longer. Again in a little while, and you will see me.

Sigh

For the last fucking time, THE JEDI ARE NOT CATHOLIC!

They're not based off of the catholic church, that's just people's fanon interpretation (and it's mostly just people projecting their issues with catholicism onto the Jedi), if you actually take a minute to look up what George Lucas' sources and inspirations for the Jedi, you'll find that he based them off of everything EXCEPT christianity, the inspirations for the Jedi being Japanese and East Asian cultures, Arabic ideas (Jedi may be derived from "Al-Jeddi" which means "Master of the Mystic-Warrior way"), Buddhism, Jewish Mysticism, Samurai Bushido, Shaolin Monks, Hinduism, Qigong, Greco-Roman philosophy and mythology, Sufism, Confucianism, Shinto, and Taoism, the only christianity you might be able to say influenced the Jedi is Methodism, since Lucas was a Buddhist-Methodist

Like yes, you can certainly find Jedi beliefs and practices to be similar or parallel to catholicism and Christianity, I have, but that's on you, that's YOUR interpretation

#i say this as a catholic #wooloo-writes #wooloo writes #star wars #sw #pro jedi #in defense of the jedi #catholicism #jedi #christainity is like the only thing that DIDN’T inspire lucas when he was creating the Jedi #samurai #bushido #shinto #taoism #qigong #shaolin #sufism #greek philosophy #greek mythology #confucianism #jewish mysticism #arabic #jedi and judaism #look i get it #you were traumatized by the catholic church #that sucks #BUT STOP TREATING EVERY RELIGION LIKE THEY'RE CHRISTIANITY

I cannot stand people who depict Satan and God as rivals or Yin Yang. God does not need Satan. He never did. Satan needs God. Think of it this way. God is all that’s good and he is love. Satan is all that’s evil and he is hate. He is vengeance. He is jealousy. He is wrathful. Why would love and goodness need those things? God does not need Satan. He created Lucifer, and he was God’s most beautiful angel. But Satan wanted more. He did not feel God’s love was enough, which is impossible because God is the embodiment of love. Satan needs God because that’s who he fights against.

God created the world without Satan, but Satan was the one who destroyed it. Creation doesn’t need destruction, but destruction needs creation.

hey. you have a right to privacy, yknow.

you don’t need to tell people every bad thing about yourself, lay it all out on a table for them to see, leaving yourself vulnerable and in a position to be scorned and judged.

you can just let others draw their own conclusions about you. that’s not misleading. that’s not dishonesty.

you can keep secrets.

and if people ask personal questions about you? you can say, “that’s none of your business.”

you can say, “that’s private.”

you can say, “i’m not comfortable with giving that information to you.”

you can say, “no.”

and you can say it to God.

he won’t know shit about you if you don’t let him.

“omniscient” “omnipotent” my ASS

White Buddhist John Kramer

After undergoing parthenogenesis, Lawrence Gordon gives birth to a healthy baby boy, John Jr.

Many such cases

#tbh tho I think John philosophy is much more catholic #like viewing suffering as something that cleanses or makes you noble rather than just like #a shitty thing that’s inherent to existing in a material form #saw franchise #saw #john kramer #lawrence gordon #i guess #ask

“We seek for truth in ourselves; in our neighbours, and in its essential nature. We find it first in ourselves by severe self scrutiny, then in our neighbours by compassionate indulgence, and, finally, in its essential nature by that direct vision which belongs to the pure in heart. Observe both the number and the sequence. To begin with, let Him who is the Truth teach you that you must search for truth in those around you before you look for it in its intrinsic purity. You will afterwards learn why you must search for it in yourself before you do so in your neighbours. Thus in the enumeration of the Beatitudes in His Sermon He placed 'the merciful' before 'the pure in heart'. For the merciful quickly discover truth in their neighbours when they extend their sympathy to them, and so kindly identify them- selves with them that they feel their good and evil characteristics as if they were their own.”

-St Bernard of Clairvaux, The Twelve Degrees of Humility and of Pride.

Thomas Aquinas left a profound legacy as the eminent medieval philosopher who reshaped Western thought. Discover how his masterful fusion of faith and reason revolutionized theology and philosophy.

His groundbreaking “Summa Theologica,” a magnum opus which explores the existence of God, ethics and humanity's nature, had an enduring influence on Catholic theology and education, bridging the gap between faith and reason.

The wisdom of this luminary figure seems timeless, and his ideas continue to inspire scholars and seekers across generations.
