A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The most popular seem to be lighthearted clever little truths, hidden in daily life.

Here are some examples to inspire your own showerthoughts:

Rules

  1. All posts must be showerthoughts
  2. The entire showerthought must be in the title
  3. No politics
    • If your topic is in a grey area, please phrase it to emphasize the fascinating aspects, not the dramatic aspects. You can do this by avoiding overly politicized terms such as "capitalism" and "communism". If you must make comparisons, you can say something is different without saying something is better/worse.
    • A good place for politics is c/politicaldiscussion
  4. Posts must be original/unique
  5. Adhere to Lemmy's Code of Conduct and the TOS

If you made it this far, showerthoughts is accepting new mods. This community is generally tame so its not a lot of work, but having a few more mods would help reports get addressed a little sooner.

Whats it like to be a mod? Reports just show up as messages in your Lemmy inbox, and if a different mod has already addressed the report, the message goes away and you never worry about it.

For all their "christianity", republicans in the US are pretty hypocritical.

Jesus actually teached that everybody deserves to get fed and housed. That everybody deserves healthcare. That people should care for other people in their community. That is essentially the core principles of socialism.

And what happens with those that don’t? Those that doubt for even a second? Burn in hell for all eternity!

Even the apostles doubted many times and nobody thinks they burn in hell right now.

It’s an ultimatum designed to terrify and control people.

If somebody calls himself christian out of fear and terror, then I'm afraid we believe in different gods.

Fair enough, but try to answer the question: what does happen to those that don't believe in Jesus?

Nobody thinks or do you mean you think? Cause you have to be joking yourself if you think there are no worshippers that fear burning in hell for their sins.

If somebody calls himself christian out of fear and terror, then l'm afraid we believe in different gods.

How do you know which one is correct? Yours is just an interpretation of another person’s interpretation of events that happened ages ago. The writing in the bible is clear about burning in hell for all eternity and now you are cherry picking what parts you believe in?

How does any of this shit have any kind of credibility with that level of brain gymnastics.

I don’t believe in any gods. There are hundreds of versions of god that you don’t believe in, only difference is I don’t believe in one more.

I mean... they are literally called "saint" and guess what it means.

Surely there are. If I met such person, I would gladly talk with them, or recommend some literature on this topic.

It's not my interpretation, it's the teaching of the Roman Catholic Church (and probably other "variants" too, I'm just not aware of the differences).

Okay, that's your choice
