CrossCuT Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Is making legal pornography part of your "we don't care what you do" acceptable behavior? It's perfectly legal. Yet, it destroys families, and harms my children in ways that will affect the rest of their lives. I was thinking more along the lines of allowing people to have unicorn blood harvesting parties or ride motocross in duck suits. You know, all those normal worship type activities.

dUSt Posted April 28, 2015 Author Share Posted April 28, 2015 I was thinking more along the lines of allowing people to have unicorn blood harvesting parties or ride motocross in duck suits. You know, all those normal worship type activities. So you are an anarchist? You think everyone should have absolute freedom to do whatever they want? Or, only things that do not harm someone else... So... If I can show you how a certain action harms someone, you will be against it in all cases? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not The Philosopher Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 Unicorn blood harvesting parties are a bad scene. Parents, don't let your kids get involved in that stuff.And don't try to reason with alpacas either. That way madness lies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nihil Obstat Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 I think this is more or less correct.But I must admit that "authentic" has become one of those words in recent years that grates on me. It gets used too much, like, "artisan." So you are saying the word authentic is used in an inauthentic manner? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not The Philosopher Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 So you are saying the word authentic is used in an inauthentic manner? Every proposition about authenticity is now inauthentic. Including this one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fides' Jack Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 dUSt - I agree. Something else that gets to me when I think about it is how the word hypocrite is thrown around. It's interesting that we are all called to be "perfect, even as your Heavenly Father is perfect". Of course no one can possibly be that perfect, though some will get much closer than others. In point of fact, that makes us all hypocrites, and it makes the Church's mission easier to understand - to save souls. We need the sacraments to keep bouncing up after our missteps. But I've known very few people willing to make that accusation toward themselves, Catholic or not. Yes, I'm a hypocrite. I think the idea of letting people do as they please in many cases is moral relativism and lukewarmness. Is "authentic" the new "epic"? I'm not in with popular culture enough to get all the new hip phrases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HopefulHeart Posted April 28, 2015 Share Posted April 28, 2015 (When I saw the title of this thread I thought it would be about existentialist philosophy or something of that nature. ) I agree with dUSt's thoughts in the OP. Other forms of Christianity do have tradition. Look at all of the Bible commentaries available through Christian Book Distributors. I saw one popular commentary on the CBD site that was originally published in the nineteenth century. There is certainly an aspect of tradition in that Christians still study and respect this commentary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dUSt Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 Isn't the word "inauthentic" not "unauthentic"? If you want to follow the mainstream. I am a bit of a rebel. Both words are acceptable. I like unauthentic better when talking about people or behaviors. I use inauthentic when talking about a brand or product. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dUSt Posted May 1, 2015 Author Share Posted May 1, 2015 (edited) Isn't the word "inauthentic" not "unauthentic"? According to Google Ngram, unauthentic has been used consistently since 1800 until today. Inauthentic wasn't used widely until about the 1950's and didn't overtake unauthentic in popularity until after 1960, where it then became much more popular for some reason. https://books.google.com/ngrams/graph?content=unauthentic%2C+inauthentic&year_start=1800&year_end=2000&corpus=15&smoothing=3&share=&direct_url=t1%3B%2Cunauthentic%3B%2Cc0%3B.t1%3B%2Cinauthentic%3B%2Cc0 Edited May 1, 2015 by dUSt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
