Hahaha, I have seen that before. It is really quite beautiful. The Church did the same thing with the Aztecs. They took what was good about their culture and removed what was bad. Then let them take the good and use it to praise the One, True, God.

Dang, sorry all. I created this community and then promplty abandoned it 🤣

I should probably make sure I pop on every now and then to moderate.

Welcome, nice to see some more fediCatholics!

Just gonna say, as a Catholic, He never sends anyone to Hell, they send themeselves to Hell. Furthermore, the whole "Hell is the worst pain you can imagine" immediately makes one think Of a torture chamber. That isn't neccessarily what Hell is. Hell is simply a separation from God. It is being alone and miserable that is thgreatest pain.

The whole idea of God sending people to infinite torture because man is a depraved, wicked thing is a very harmful calvinistic idea.

Not trying to be a troll. I just want to set the records straight.

Wait, did you install the rom on a non nothing phone?

If I was trying to scam you i wouldn't exactly admit to it :)

I have been with them from the early alpha stage to present. They are almost releasing into beta. So far, no alarm bells have gone off in my head. They are very open and transparent and have answered nearly every question that is posed to them by the community. I would suggest checking out their discord server and seeing for yourself. Plus, if you join their Discord server, you will get earlier access.

P.S. I have been using it for a couple months now and it has been working. It is also working for the couple hundred other alpha testers. So, it works.

Great, thanks!

I'm running a yunohost server with a Nextcloud instance on top. I've got nextcloud syncing my files, of course. I use WebDav/WebCal for syncing all of my contacts and calendars across my linux and android devices.

I think around 200,000 seems pretty accurate going off of lemmyverse.net. I sorted the instances by number of users and it seems like it would add up good. The first five servers were 36k, 19k, 11k, 8k, 4k users. After that it was just a bunch of instances with less than 2k users. But that doesn't mean we can't get it up to 6 million :) Let's keep on welcoming the redditers.

Wow, we only have 128,000 while mastadon has 2 million? We got a lot of ground to catch up :)

So there is a bit of controversy in whether the creation of the Earth was divinely led evolution or immediate creation by the hands of God. For more research on that I would highly suggest going to the https://www.kolbecenter.org/ and https://foundationsrestored.com/ I was originally of the opinion that it was divinely led evolution. Even to the point of arguing extensively with Protestants for it. However, I then looked into the Kolbe Center's research and borrowed the foundations restored course from a friend. I have to say, I went in dubious of the proof for direct creation, but they knocked off my socks. They had very solid proofs convinced me pretty well that evolution at least was flawed and rather outdated. That context aside, here is an article that I found on some random creationist website. It offers a very good and cool understanding of why men have nipples. https://askjohnmackay.com/god-created-man-why-men-nipples-wasteful/ It basically says that since Eve was "bone of his bone and flesh of his flesh" (his = Adam), it was necessary that Adam contain all the parts that Eve has. Hence why Adam would have had an XY and Eve and XX. If Adam had had an XX then Eve wouldn't be "bone of his bone, and flesh of his flesh" because the Y would have had to be placed in her by God. I am not sure how scientifically sound it is as I am not a geneticist, but it is and interesting question that I have taken way too seriously :) Regardless, I think part of the reason God gave men nipples was so that they wouldn't feel left out :)

P.S. Sorry if I came across a little offensive on my first response.

Sorry for the late response. I haven't been on here for a while. Could you expand a little more on your point? Are you saying that men have nipples and therefore there is no difference between men and women? Or are you rather attacking immediate creation of the human being by God and supporting evolution?

I'm self-hosting some stuff on a yunohost server but i plan to switch to start9 once they add support for clearnet.

• Nextcloud
• Jellyfin
• Calibreweb
• Email (though I don't really use it)

I would be hosting more but our internet is too slow for anything else to really be effective.
