I recently converted to Catholicism after being a full on fedora tipper most of my life. There aren't a ton of Christian movies these days, but the ones that exist are fucking amazing.

Congratulations anon. It's beyond egotistical and arrogant for someone to assume they know everything about the entire universe, especially as fields such as quantum physics are showing us that our understanding of basic reality is flawed.

There aren't many good Christian films, unfortunately. I'm guessing due to Judaism's distrust/dislike of Christianity and an excess of fedora tippers. Calvary was the last good one I saw.

You don't have to have a bad life in order to strive for something greater than yourself. Making a claim like this just proves that you personally feel empty.

not all of them deal explicitly with religion but do feature moral quandaries and essential "christian values" (not as bad as it sounds)

some of my favourites on there: death of m. lazarescu, l'enfant, order, day of wrath, code unknown, a man for all seasons, tender mercies, the apostle, playtime (seeing this film is a strange, very joyous experience, very spiritual), less related to what you're looking for but great are vertigo, sullivan's travels, the night of the hunter.

I'm not interested in hearing about how you don't like the Catholic Church, but I will point out that all of your "objectively wrong" non arguments are objectively wrong. I would say more, but frankly you didn't put any effort into your post so why should I? Don't go down this road, because I will cite peer reviewed research putting you in your place :)

>>63591094
The fact that it's true. I reviewed the philosophical and metaphysical arguments for the Christian God and they are sound and there are excellent contemporary defenses of it. Then I looked at the historical piece and was swayed by the evidence for Christ and the Catholic Church. The only thing holding me back was that I didn't believe in miracles, but that was simply an a priori assumption at that point.

I also recognize the possibility that other religions' miracles could be true. That doesn't change the fact that Catholicism is still the religion I selected as correct.

Anyway, changing this a priori assumption was the hard part, but that's where having an open mind / having a subjective experience of God or the divine comes into play.

See the pic in OP. You don't sound well-versed in philosophy, and your aversion to Christ's sacrifice is meaningless if you don't believe in God in the first place. I could provide plenty of explanation/justification for eating the body of Christ, but what does it matter if you don't believe in the first place?

Please don't equate transubstantiation to alchemy, by the way. It proves you don't know what you're talking about.

>>63591376
You don't need to buy into the supernatural to believe in God in a general sense. Anyway, besides the spiritual, there are plenty of epistemologies that still fall outside of empiricism. Logic and mathematics for instance.

Stating that you should only believe in empiricism is absurd. That is an absolute statement and absolute statements are not empirical. How did you arrive at that conclusion? It's a philosophical farce. Prove to me empirically that we should only be empiricists. I'll wait.

that's a nice, neat box you've got there. i hope the ribbon that is "faith" never unravels, and you never question why you would submit to a deity that requires, no, demands you to consume human flesh.

>Please don't equate transubstantiation to alchemy, by the way. It proves you don't know what you're talking about.

Please, the comparative/synchronistic argument against Christianity is childish and debunked. That only is valid in the atheist hugbox world you live in. Do you want sources proving how wrong that argument is, or do you just want to shitpost? I thoroughly studied this stuff before deciding to become a Catholic. Those arguments are from the fucking 1800s lol
>>
>>63591520
because catholic dontrine has nothing to do with the teachings of Jesus. nothing at all. even the way they handle Sin is a fabrication designed around control. The hierarchy of the church, the way that priests are separate spiritually from laypeople, the focus and worship (AHEM I MEAN VENERATION) of Mary, the praying to saints, transsubstantiation, infalibility of the pope, immaculate conception, etc were all introduced down the line either to help the church become acceptable to pagans or to secure political power

every single one of Martin Luthors 95 theses are correct. the catholic church as an institution historically is anti-Christ. It does not accomplish what Jesus taught us to do and ironcally makes it pharisitical

>childish and debunked

i guess your leap of faith began here? you literally just referenced aristotle before-hand in your attempt to realize transubstantiation. do you want to point out where in the new testament jesus declared his commitment to idealism? or do you think some sort of fucking discussion happened afterwards, where greek minds took ideas and religions that were already being talked about and incorporated them into a fledgling, apocalpytic, human sacrifice cult?
>>

because the miracles of Christ came from Christ, the magic of the Catholic Church is made up on the fly with no traditional or Biblical foundation
>>63591691
>protestants can't handle the bantz
>says the catholic who is still mad at Luther
nice try
and ANYONE who communes with a group of believers to worship, sharpen eachother, grow closer to Christ, and spread the Gospel is a church

watching a priest summon the holy spirit (trigger warning) and eating crackers in silence is not doing the work of God

I mean sure, it's fine for a once a week meeting and if you lived in an old community where the entirety of the town was considered the Church body and Church life existed outside of Sunday mornings then there's be room for improvement
as of now the Catholic church is antiquated, straight up heretical, and harmful to the teachings of Christ in more ways than it it helpful

>>
>>63591684
In the Bread of Life discourse, his disciples find the teaching odd and specifically question if Jesus is being metaphorical. Jesus doubles down and says "THIS IS MY BODY"

And then those followers abandon him. If it was a metaphor, it would not have played out this way. Sorry it doesn't make sense in the context of the Gospel.

BTW, notice how the Protestants seem a lot like the disciples who abandoned Jesus over this exact question of eating his body? Prophetic...

this is literally misinformation
A) The bread of life discourse has nothing to do with the last supper. it is not a clarification about Jesus claiming to be bread, its a reaffirmation of what he said earlier
>“The work of God is this: to believe in the one he has sent.”
>So they asked him, “What sign then will you give that we may see it and believe you? What will you do? 31 Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written: ‘He gave them bread from heaven to eat.’[c]”

>32 Jesus said to them, “Very truly I tell you, it is not Moses who has given you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. 33 For the bread of God is the bread that comes down from heaven and gives life to the world.”

>34 “Sir,” they said, “always give us this bread.”

>35 Then Jesus declared, “I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never go hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty.
there is literally nothing in here to suggest that he meant he literally turns to bread
he is using metaphor, like LITERALLY EVERY TIME HE SPEAKS ABOUT ANYTHING, to clarify and expand upon what kind of spiritual fulfillment believing in him does
and here are the other passages that discuss the last supper. the words mentioning the body as bread and blood as wine are uttered once and unchallenged or expounded upon

I agree with him on indulgences. I agree that a lay person can read and gain his own understanding of the bible. I disagree on the number of sacraments.

You're fucking around with the quotes because you know I'm right haha. The cognitive dissonance. Read this once through with a clear mind and tell me what you think:

[50] This is the bread which comes down from heaven, that a man may eat of it and not die.

[51] I am the living bread which came down from heaven; if any one eats of this bread, he will live for ever; and the bread which I shall give for the life of the world is my flesh."

[52]The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, "How can this man give us his flesh to eat?"

[53] So Jesus said to them, "Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of man and drink his blood, you have no life in you;
[54] he who eats my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.

John 6:53-58English Standard Version (ESV)
53 So Jesus said to them, “Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. 54 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood has eternal life, and I will raise him up on the last day. 55 For my flesh is true food, and my blood is true drink. 56 Whoever feeds on my flesh and drinks my blood abides in me, and I in him. 57 As the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever feeds on me, he also will live because of me. 58 This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like the bread[a] the fathers ate, and died. Whoever feeds on this bread will live forever.”

>Truly, truly, I say to you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you
Sounds like something all christians should do - not necessarily at church every week out of protocol though (much like the lord's prayer which is meaningless if you're just reciting words out of a book)

There is no documentation in the bible regarding praying to saints for extra 'prayer power' when you want something

But it's not just that they went to heaven, it's that they got special privileges. What about people who are posthumously declared to be saints? Are they automatically upgraded to a better position in heaven when the pope does a ceremony on earth?

>Do you believe the saints are in fact spiritually dead?
Do catholics believe non-saints in heaven are spiritually dead? What does 'spiritually dead' mean in this context?

>Do you believe they are not in communion with God?
In what sense?

From a biblical standpoint there is nothing to suggest that saints act as extra prayer power when you pray to them

Why do you people always ask for an answer which is impossible? You know that God isn't on Earth and can't be detected by conventional means but you still need it to be "proven" for you.

Baptist here. Catholics carry this stigma that they don't actually apply Christ's teachings to their everyday lives and that they instead treat their faith like a checklist of weekly arbitrary rituals.

>>
>>63592846
I didn't mean to imply that Saints were any more privileged than others in Heaven, or at least that this pertained to the conversation. Jesus did suggest a hierarchy in the Kingdom of god but that's beside the point.

The point is not that Saints are greater than non-saints, but that those in Heaven are more in communion with God than those not in Heaven. If your Grandma was particularly pious you could ask her to pray for you after she has died instead, just as you may have while she were alive.

Why do christians always resort to pictures of militant atheists here? That's not who we are. Most atheists that I know, including myself, are completely normal people except we don't believe in god. The reason for this is simply that we can't believe in it, not that we don't want to. You read the bible, shit's inconsistent as fuck. There's an all-powerful omnibenevolent god, he still lets evil exist to test you even though as an omniscient being he knows the result before even testing you. You say everything on earth fits and seems to have meaning, you look out the window at night and all you see is chaos in space. I used to be a christian and I still want to be until I realized that the god you're looking at either doesn't exist or isn't one of the beings he claims to be. I'm not saying I know everything, but logic itself dictates it. If god wanted me to believe, he could make it happen. He could even make it happen without interfering with free will. But he doesn't.

All I'm asking you is what makes you believe? Why do you make the assumption that regardless of evidence there is a cosmic being that wants to help you?

The Bible is only inconsistent if you pretend it's all one book. Catholics don't believe that. We view it as a library. That's what Bible means. We've always seen it this way and considered the context of its writing. From the very beginning. Origen, one of the Church Fathers, states that Genesis, for instance, is clearly not supposed to be scientific.
>everything is chaos in space
This means nothing.

Philosophical reasoning can be used to justify God's existence. If you choose not to like those arguments, that's your opinion, but logic "proves" nothing.

The bible says sex should only be between a married man and woman. Rape is outside of that condition, and the color of clothing is irrelevant. Did you really think you had a point?

You don't have a solid argument. Are you trying to suggest that it's okay to make up new rules that have no biblical basis? 'Reasoning' is null and void if there is nothing in the bible to support it. You seem to be making some argument regarding how the bible can't be specific about everything, but there is a significant difference between deriving interpretations based on what's provided and coming up with new stuff entirely

Since we've got a thread with plenty of Christians in it, I'm just going to get this off my chest now.

A big part of the reason I didn't like the trailer for X-Men Apocalypse is because it looks insanely blasphemous. The idea that Ivan Ooze is who the Bible actually refers to when mentioning God is enough to completely drive me away from the movie.

>The Bible is only inconsistent if you pretend it's all one book. Catholics don't believe that. We view it as a library. That's what Bible means. We've always seen it this way and considered the context of its writing. From the very beginning. Origen, one of the Church Fathers, states that Genesis, for instance, is clearly not supposed to be scientific.
Then your library is inconsistent. Why does Genesis have stuff like (I paraphrase) this guy lived for 400 years then the next guy for 325 and then the next guy, with nothing happening in between?

>Lord of the Rings

Tolkien was a devout Christian (he even was responsible for leading C.S. Lewis to Christ) but, he also HATED people seeing LOTR as Christian allegory (also, as good friends as they were, he apparently strongly disagreed with the use of Christian allegories in Lewis' Narnia books. In other words, I think he basically thought Christianity and stories of fantasy/fairy tales should be never combined)

I know a lot of the zealots hated it (and yeah it is a bit sacrilegious in places) and it's pre-2000's but, The Last Temptation of Christ is a must see in the category of movies about Jesus Christ.

Living in a communistic-lite country had its perks,
first one was education, no fucker that went into that scools could say he didnt learn nothing,
they forced upon you so much knowledge even today I know top 10 most longest rivers, their names, lenght and capitol of the country where they are.
Also, we learned about every religion from historical standpoint(why did this or that religion got foothold in that specific area in time).
Anyways, as Roman Empire weakened under constant usurpations on the throne, Constantine tortured some Christians for fun and he asked dying Christian:"Who is your God now, who has the power?" Christian said:"Power is absolute and all power comes from God."
So, Constantine poked again that Christian with sword, for shitsngiggles(Christians were great torture material, huge bleeders, little noise to disturb the neighbors and shit they told while tortured was just hilarious), he walked up and down and Roman Candle lit above his head:"If all power comes from god and I have all the power, god gave me that power, so if anyone goes against me , goes against god!!!"
Anyways, he told that story to other higher level officials in Roman Empire and Maxentius told him to go home , that he must be drunk.
Constantine got mad and told everyone that they will see their god and he left, next day he told his servants to light a cross in backyard, later on he told his legions that he dreamed about burning cross they need to follow if they want to win all battles. Maxentius saw that Consta lost it so he gathered around 90.000 normal people and told them:" we need to take care of Consta, guy is trippin!" Now, problem is Consta gathered almost 130.000 people, convert them and they all went to war(what people dont talk a loud is Constantine was a really rich fuck and he gave 10 denarii to everyone who wanted to convert, people said :"fuck it , I will probably die tommorow, at least Ill get my cock sucked tonight." so they did. And they won!The End!

I indicated that nowhere in my post, tripfaggot. I said that logic can be used to argue for God's existence, therefore you're not disproving God by saying "hurr logic exists". You're the one who can't fucking think.

Christians praying for each other brings favour from God.

Physically dead Christians are in no way spiritually dead and would be able to communicate with God.

Because Genesis, especially in the beginning, is a composite of earlier stories and oral traditions collected for the sake of having them transcribed because they were believed to have theological relevance.

It means that a lot of christians keep on arguing that everything in the world seems to have a purpose, when not only is the world chaotic, but the universe is even more so. Not everything has a purpose.

Then answer the problem of evil or whatever it's called. How do you solve an all-powerful omnibenevolent god?

from your post
>Philosophical reasoning can be used to justify God's existence. If you choose not to like those arguments, that's your opinion, but logic "proves" nothing.

Somehow, philosophical reasoning is different from thinking and forming connections.

The only basis you have for god is FAITH. Faith relies on nothing but you accepting a statement without proof. If I said right now that the earth was flat and then refused to think about it, then I'd be religious.

if you choose not to believe, just be content with that. there are answers to the problem of evil via a quick google search. saying some things don't have meaning just isn't good philosophy and it's like you don't know what teleology is. are you trying to get me to convince you, or are you trying to trip me up and make me an atheist?

if you are actually soul searching, i would be impressed that you don't know of any answers to something like the problem of evil. there's a wikipedia page on it...

Why would Jesus then cut off the physically dead Christians from physically alive Christians in every way?

A trip is for a single thread where identifying one person and ensuring they are not memed on is critical. You must be very new if you think it's proper etiquette to use that shit site wide, and you must be a literal cùck to defend a trip over an anon

>>63593418
Changing ancient traditions of the liturgy, dropping Latin as the liturgical language, and massively reforming liturgical music so that (in America at least) it's been reduced to Baptist-tier shittery, all done in the attempt to make Catholicism more "accessible"... Changes to college of bishops and general decentralization of church leadership have opened the floodgates for personal interpretation of scripture/dogma as well as an overall liberalization of church teachings and practices

I don't spew bullshit, so you're going to have to be more specific. I think I'm smarter than average, not because of a phony fedora, but because I'm enlightened by actually just having studied and thought about stuff a lot. I suppose that means nothing on the internet, but whatever.

If you mean "Why are you here making arguments and asking people about their faith?", it's because you were just as arrogant >>63590602 and we're genuinely curious.

No, it's not. And just because you can't stop posting that it is bait, that doesn't make it so. In fact, by refusing to shut the fuck up about it, you're proving the other anon's point: You atheist shitheads can't help yourselves.

Stop posting if you're so triggered
