dont know exactly how long people stay on this board but a long time back but I said i was going to be a Christian monk(Anglican monastery), i went to the monastery, which met all my ideals, i mean its literally a working communism, it fucking works! but God told me it wasn't what I should do, which sucks
Im fully aware im talking to atheists right now, just had to express how every awsum thing history and everything says about monasteries are true, so gloriously true
Okay
Religion can really draw people to the single-mindedness and selflessness that can make living communally work well. Not only having the idea of something bigger and more important than one's self to guide you, but living in a small enough community to affirm that those around you feel selfless as well sounds like a perfect way to live. Of course, not everyone can live like that but still...
Hope you find success in wherever you feel called.

But Communists don't teach you to hate yourself and have no sex.
Also, you claiming you speak directly to god? You know that's just plain silly right?

What's the monastery actually like? I'm way off in New Zealand so we don't have anything nearby I could go and check out

Nah, confirmed Roman Catholic here.
Do whatever you feel your vocation is. Maybe Lord Jesus is calling you to a life of marriage? Try it out!
