atheism is an irrational belief system, it is THE irrational belief system.
to reduce our existence as sprouting out of nothing with nothing intelligent to code it
it makes zero sense
yet many here are convicted atheists
the great tragedy of man is that he will not commune with his creator
i will.

quote:
153
In 2002 Pope John Paul II announced five new mysteries to the rosary, called the Luminous Mysteries. They were introduced in his Apostolic Letter Rosarium Virginis Mariae. Before the addition of these mysteries, there were 15 mysteries five Joyous, five Sorrowful and five Glorious known as the whole Rosary. The Hail Marys in these 15 mysteries along with the three preliminary Hail Marys, would number153, if you continue reciting the 15 mysteries, one after another. (It should be noted that a third of the whole rosary is also called a Rosary. )
Praying the Rosary was part of the message of Fatima of 1917. It's interesting to realize that the span of time covered by Mary's appearances at Fatima, from May 13th to October 13th, adds up to153 as well153 days. You may do the addition of the days yourself: May (18); June (30); July (31); August (31); September (30); and October (13).
There is something else about that figure of 153 that could be associated with the rosary. The number 153 is found in Scripture, in John 21:4-13. It's the number of fish caught at the direction of Christ and hauled ashore in a net. So what might 153 fish have to do with the Rosary?
Consider this footnote in the Gospel of John, found in a Spanish language Bible, La Nueva Biblia - Latinoamerica, Juan 21: Los apostoles arrastran en sus redes 153 peces grandes: Ahora bien, en ese tiempo el numero conocido de las naciones del universo era 153; de moda que la pesca milagrosa representa la accion de la iglesia. Los Pastores de la iglesia llevaran en sus redes hacia Cristo a todas las naciones de la tierra.
(The apostles dragged in their nets153 big fish. Now then, at that time the number of known nations in the world was 153. This way the miracle of the fish represents the action of the church. The shepherds of the church carried in their nets toward Christ all the nations of the earth).
At Fatima the Blessed Virgin Mary asked that the Rosary be prayed for peace in the world. Jesus told Peter in Matt. 4:19, "I will make you fishers of men." In John 21:9-10 when they came ashore, they saw a fish laid on the coals. Jesus said to His disciples: "Bring hither of the fishes which you have now caught." The fish was not only a symbol for Christ, but it represented his followers as well. It could just as well represent the nations Christianized. Jesus would want the whole world to come unto Him.
The Greek word ichthus, meaning fish, spells out the initial letter or two of the words in the Greek phrase Iesous Christos, Theou Uios, Soter (’ ‘ ). It sums up a some very important facts about Our Lord, and when you think about it, it goes along with the Rosary which is Christ-centered. Pope John Paul II said in his Apostolic Letter, "The Rosary, though clearly Marian in character, is at heart a Christocentric prayer." Even the last two Glorious Mysteries with their focus on Mary, tell us how Jesus honored His mother.
Is there a linkage of the 153 Hail Marys, the 153 days of Fatima and the 153 fish? I believe all three can be associated together. The Rosary's meant for meditation and we can "set out into the deep," cast our net into the depths, contemplate the mysteries, and hope to come up with something more Christlikeand pray to internalize it in our lives and the lives of others in the world.
If you want to use your imagination, think of the Rosary beads being like floats on a net. Visualize the loop of beads being drawn across the surface of the water, and down in the water, the net to catch the minds and hearts of men, which drawn forth, bring a better world to the earthly shore.

Oh come on, you’re enjoying it, pretending to be a Catholic so Catholicism gets the blame for your vile behaviour.

You’ve already done worse without being banned. And you contribute nothing of value here.
And if you are Catholic why on earth would you want to promote a negative image of Catholicism? Why would you post a cartoon paintImg Christians as stupid gullible idiots ?

Nonsense.

So one guy gets a bit carried away in response to your bad behaviour. You are still far worse.

i've contributed more value here than anyone else. this is one of the only active threads. but go on and make another thread about ORANGE MAN BAD. your contribution is no different than any leftist social media site.
not sure where you get off judging my contributions. paulk's are a dime a dozen on here.

Really? So where can I find serious well-reasoned discussion from you?

but go on and make another thread about ORANGE MAN BAD
Even if pointing out the bad things that Trump is doing were of no value - and it is certainly better than the mindless nastiness you show towards Biden - it is hardly the only thing I post here, even recently, even in the last 24 hours.
Should I remind you of where I was seriously arguing against Kleinman’s arrogant bullying? Where you weighed in despite being unable to understand the arguments - complaining that we shouldn’t criticise Kleinman’s posts because he claimed to have published scientific papers (which had very little relevance to the main points of discussion).

Intelligent and rational conversation is good. So that’s a compliment to the forum.

who created the code? we're living in a wonderful reality, perhaps even a simulation, but who wrote the code for this joint as you know very complex coding.

thankfully smarmy atheists that lift their noise to anyone expressing Christian belief are crowded here and in short supply in the real world.
atheism is a rich man's disease, a boyish, unnuanced, unthinking, ignorance of straightforward reality
who coded this place, atheist guru?

You could make the same argument about anything capable of writing the (assumed) code. How could anything so complex and wonderful exist unless it were designed? So I don’t find that a convincing argument,
Now we don’t understand the basis of our reality, It operates in ways contrary to our intuitions. Even apparently solid matter is mostly empty space and that’s before we get down to quantum mechanics where things get really strange. But can it be considered to be code? Is it something that was written? Or is it just something - or a collection of things - following it’s inherent nature? How do you tell the difference?

you don't understand the basis of your reality, yet you assume that it could not have had a creator?
is that a rational position?
you've plainly admitted in front of the atheist cohort that even inorganic matter is infinitely complex and mystifying.
yet you seem unable to draw the analogy that as human beings, endowed with the ability to create, that a cosmic force or god couldn't possibly have lifted a finger to create.
there's no reason why a leaf is shaped as it is, in a triangular fashion, or oval shape, rather than being a collection of squiggly lines.
this world is clearly coded to a certain aesthetic. one that seems to be based around pain and suffering, but a discernible aesthetic no less.
the more you correspond with me the more you will understand that you will intellectually never surpass the role of cruiserweight, and i'm the heavyweight champ of the world, the smartest gentleman to ever register an account on evc forum, a place far beneath my intellect and hubris
