It's comical.

Atheist scientists are lying and/or wrong about the origin of the universe, God, religion, the Bible, the nature of Man, the existence of aliens, possibility of time travel or sentient AI, and countless other fundamental errors.

And they've been caught lying more times than I can count. And their lies and errors *couldn't get* larger or more fundamental: existence of "dark matter", the Theory of Relativity, etc.

"But by gum, they are telling the honest truth about the shape of the earth and "outer space"! It's the Bible that's being poetic, wrong, etc."

Another great point.  Dr. Sungenis spent a large portion of his "Flat Earth, Flat Wrong" book defending NASA, even though NASA considers his geocentrism to be utterly absurd and him to be a crazed lunatic.  Sungenis admitted that NASA lied one time, though he minimized it as a "foible".  You could write volumes about NASA lying and fraud that could exceed the output of Dr. Sungenis' own considerable output over the years.  Then, he engaged in a logical fallacy by denouncing the FEs for holding the position (a strawman) that if NASA lied about one thing, they lie about everything.  Nobody says that.  I'm sure they sometimes tell the truth ... when they have no reason not to.  What he misses is that there's a law of evidence, applied correctly in courts known as falsus in uno, falsus in omnibus, "false in one thing, false in all things".  What this means is that once a witness has been caught lying about one thing, the entire rest of his testimony loses credibility.  Sure, he might be telling the truth, but, since we know that he has no problem with lying, he also might not be telling the truth with other stuff.  As a result, none of what he says can be used as proof or evidence ... without independent verification.  So because NASA has a demonstrable track record for lying (way beyond the single "foible" that Sungenis concedes), we have no idea whether they're lying about any given thing, and what they tell us is not acceptable as proof ... not unless you already believe the earth is a globe and accepted it as proof due to confirmation bias.  If NASA had the temerity to lie about the moon landings, and rovers on Mars, they could be lying about almost anything.

There is an easy answer to that. We share a love that just makes us want to be answerable for each other and to spend all our lives together, eg. cooking together, doing groceries & chores together, attending mass & other church community activities together, praying together, being beside each other as we lay down to sleep/pillow talk, etc. And we cannot do some of that without the Sacrament of Marriage.

I do not believe an union between two persons have to be about sex. I used to think that way in my youth but now I am actually quite surprised by the kind of nurturing love that can be shared between two persons who did not put sex as a motivation. Love can be shown by other ways that lasts longer than an orgasm.

I don't believe it has to be "about sex" either, however, isn't it something that the Church considers an essential part to a valid marriage?  To be clear, I want to keep this conversation PG (please) and I do not mean to be disrespectful to you, but maybe others can chime in on this.

Having said all of that, from what I'm reading, I suspect that you are already married.  The reason why I brought the attraction issue up is because, assuming you are still married and cannot re-marry, then it sounds like it would still be possible (not exactly what you both WANT, but possible) for you to have this relationship with this person as a great friend without cohabitating. The fact that there is no physical attraction is a huge plus in this regard.

The issue that you need to be concerned with in your case of cohabitation is one of scandal

You two obviously don’t go round with placards which read “we are not having sex”. Your lady friend is a Catholic and now so are you. So observers will believe that you are fornicating and so living in sin. This is no small matter and even if you do not engage in the marital act until you are married, (if indeed you do marry) you are still in danger for your and her immortal souls.

Please read the reasoning behind this.

This really is an urgent last minute appeal for financial help.

I received this email from Fr Onuorah 4 days ago:

Greetings in Our Risen Lord Jesus Christ...  To God be all glory. 

Please don't be offended.  We have only this one week remaining in this month of April to complete the payment for the land I told you about in February as written in the agreement with the owner. By the grace of God through people's donations and Mass stipends...  we have been able to raise and pay up to US$ 8,000, remaining about $9,000. If anyone can still help us please we still need help. Thank you so much and God bless you. 

Be assured of my continued prayers. 

God Bless. 

Sincerely yours in the Risen Lord, 

Rev. Father Joseph Onuorah.

Just yesterday, I was reading these words in The Glories of Divine Grace by Fr Matthias Scheeben:
"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy". (Matt. 5:7). "Give and it shall be given unto you". (Luke 6:38). The mercy and charity that we show others is so pleasing to God and so meritorious that, on the day of judgment, Our Lord, in accounting the works to be rewarded, will mention only those of mercy, and in the case of the reprobates, will only assign the neglect of these works as the cause of their damnation. In the dispensation of grace, God generally follows the same rule as in the dispensation of the eternal reward. He will be generous to us in this dispensation in proportion to our generosity towards our neighbour. For we deny God what we deny our fellow men since they are the children and members and temples of God. We give God what we give them, for He accepts it as if we had given it to Him." (Ch. 55)

It's comical.

"But by gum, they are telling the honest truth about the shape of the earth and "outer space"! It's the Bible that's being poetic, wrong, etc."

How can one BE so dense? Stockholm syndrome much? It's like a battered wife deceiving herself to justify her abuser. It's pathological.

THESE SAME SCIENTISTS -- if you trust them -- have a LOT MORE they expect you to believe. Why do you stop short? What justification have you?

I'll tell you what though: you can't serve two masters. Eventually you're going to cut the rope and cast off atheistic science completely -- OR religion. The two can't be served long-term. Our Lord said so, not me.
