A few years ago, I got put into the same room as an extremely Catholic colleague and the kind of jackass who'd start discussions about everything.

And yeah, my only luck was that I was a 'better' Christian than him in every discipline. Well, you know, apart from being a heretic.

Not eating meat on some Fridays isn't fasting...

And that's not even something all Christians do, pretty sure it's just Catholics

Not eating meat on some Fridays are a Jewish thing that continued into Christianity; Catholics observe it more than other types of Christians, but they are not the only ones that observe it.

But that's still not fasting...

[-] Death_Equity@lemmy.world 1 points 2 weeks ago

I did not refute that point, only who abstains from eating meat on Fridays.

  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. Avoid politics
    • 3.1) NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out
    • 3.2) Political posts often end up being circle jerks (not offering unique perspective) or enflaming (too much work for mods).
    • 3.3) Try c/politicaldiscussion, volunteer as a mod here, or start your own community.
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct
