Why don't you follow Jesus, anon?
>>68285492
I am m8 what denomination are you man?
>>68285492
Because I don't need the love of a mythological figure to get through the day.
>>68285602
Well I've been methodist growing up, went non-denominational and I'm now considering turning catholic
>>68285690
Well sure you don't need His love to get you through the day but you'll need it when the shit hits the fan and you die
>>68286070
Sounds alright man good choice the Catholic church in the USA is quite strong I heard. As for me I'm Presbyterian, Church of Scotland.
>>68285492
Christianity is the ultimate bluepill. It's an ancient and well constructed tool of mass psychological manipulation.
that addon was making fun of Christianity. at one point a speech option is "you should explain how that guy was a regular guy not a deity"
clearly blasphemous
I've been reading some Emanuel Swedenborg lately. I collect a lot of religious books but I'm not part of any church yet.
>>68286270
Nice man, God bless you
>>68287113
How was it made for mass psychological explanation?
>>68285492
>dead kike on a stick
>>68287357
The entire thing is perfectly constructed to take advantage of humanity's tribal instinct and has built in classical conditioning.
>>68285492
>following a made up Hippie Zombie Jew from 2000 years ago
>>68287323
Nope. Theres a lot of pro-mormon elements in the game
>>68287323
It doesn't outright make fun of christianity. It gives you the option to project your beliefs into the game and if you don't believe then it allows you to question it. But the group seems to be mormon also, and it shows the contrast between tribal paganism and civilized monotheism in my opinion, but it's been a while since I played it
>>68287349
I suggest soren kierkegaard if you want some good, existential and intelligent christian material
>>68287547
How was christianity made to take advantage of humanity's tribal instinct?
Conditioning does not take away from the argument nor does it suggest it was simply made up for manipulation. Any nonbeliever will find some argument as to why it was created apart from perhaps that it is the truth
>>68285492
The only god I believe in is the Aryan race, but for sure not some mongrel kike cult that promotes obedience.
Judaism, Christianity and Islam are for Semites, not for Whites. Semite and Whites will eternally be at war.
>>68288334
>How was christianity made to take advantage of humanity's tribal instinct?
Literally everything about it. Some remarkable aspects are the 10 commandments, the concept of Christians being the only ones who will get to heaven while everyone else spends eternity getting tortured, and the fact that God is a portrayed as a father figure and violent alpha male character.
>>68288383
Christianity was made for everyone. If you actually read it you'll find out that Jesus didn't care too much about jews or non jews and paul specificially went around to gentiles and preached it to them and told them it's okay to be uncircumcised and all that.
Have fun being full of hate and insanity
>>68288749
It doesn't say christians are the only ones who will get to heaven. Yes, the only way to heaven is through Jesus but if you never heard of Him or weren't given a good chance or argument for turning to Him and lived a good life then God's grace may extend to you to allow you into His Kingdom. Once you get there you'll realize it was through Jesus that you were saved.
The ten commandments work to keep us in check since God knew before anyone we're mostly a bunch of pitiful bags of sin and it takes law and justice and discipline to keep us holy and to bring harmony to humanity.
We have seen time and time again that godlessness not only leads to crime and suffering but also sometimes to ruin
>>68286070
Is he going to protect me from death? No? Didn't think so. Enjoy rotting in the ground and being eaten by worms, just like everyone else.
>>68285492
Joshua Graham was a Mormon you dumbfuck
>>68289356
>if you never heard of Him or weren't given a good chance or argument for turning to Him and lived a good life then God's grace may extend to you to allow you into His Kingdom. Once you get there you'll realize it was through Jesus that you were saved.
Lol that's one interpretation.
Anyway, you admit that it's a tool of psychological control.
>>68285492

Pick one you Jew-loving cuck.
>>68285492
To be honest, if JC hadn't bothered with the nonsense that is the OT and made his theology independent of Judaism and its many flavors of bullshit, I might've been okay. I might have been able to stick around. But a nice, decent building placed on a foundation of illiterate tribalism does no credit to any part of the whole. Recognition of that bullshit led to exegesis, which led to outright atheism.
Still, Christianity in its modern form is usually pretty accommodating; theologically, its tenets are usually *far* more tender to humanity than its supposed adherents are willing to be.
But then, most of /pol/ is not really Christian. They just like the convenience of community networking that church provides.
>>68288777
This is what beta cucks like you will never understand: Being at war and hate aren't always a bad thing. Nietzsche put it in "Thus spoke Zarathustra":
> Ihr dürft nur Feinde haben, die zu hassen sind,
> aber nicht Feinde zum Verachten. Ihr müsst
> stolz auf euern Feind sein: dann sind die Erfolge
> eures Feindes auch eure Erfolge.
> You may only have enemies, that can be hated,
> but not enemies to be scorned. You have to be
> proud of your enemies: then their success is
> your success.
Now you can try to persuade the waring branch of Semitism, Islam, to leave you alone. I for one chose old violence.
Why would I follow jesus?
What will it give me?
What are the benefits to religion?
>>68289487
And if that is true I will ultimately have lived a better life devoted to something greather than myself
>>68289537
That's a very widely accepted near fact about scripture, accepted by catholics and others. If it's a tool of psychological control it's from God to keep the best and worst of us on His path
>>68285492
>Disfigured
>Lives with hippies
>Constantly inspecting pistols
Fuck off
>>68290121
Lifelong cuckoldry to the imaginary rape baby of the universe who had a cuckold stepdad.
>>68290143
Yeah but God isn't real and that's why it's fucked up.
>>68289931
Nietzsche was mentally insane
>>68290121
Because it is the true way that will give you knowledge, wisdom, and eternal life. Some benefits are self control, a reason to live other than mindless hedonism, hope, peace, wisdom, love, and, again, eternity.
>>68290289
Prove he isn't real then
>>68291110
>proof of a negative
Prove Santa isn't real.
>>68291232
You said outright that he isn't real, as if you knew it for a fact. How can you know this?
>>68290920
Only in his last years, due to syphilis.
>>68291232
god is easier to disprove than santa though. for one, the concept of god relies on local realism, which has been proven experimentally not to exist.
>>68291488
The same way I know Santa doesn't exist. He's not magic, he died a long time ago, the story is made up, magic isn't real.
>>68285492
>Falling for the bait
>>68291755
How can you know for certain God isn't real? I'm not asking about santa
>>68291992
I'm telling you it's the same method. God is just adult Santa.
>>68292120
And so you're arguing that you know certainly He doesn't exist without any proof or anything of the sort?
I was raised a christian but converted to paganism when I was a kid. Christ just ain't for me. Thor can protect us better I think.
>>68292299
You're arguing that you know certainly he does exist without any proof or anything of the sort?
>>68292474
I'm saying I believe he exists though I cannot prove He does, that's what faith is for.
>>68292600
You could say the same exact thing about Santa and it would still be stupid.
>>68292686
Whatever, guy
>>68289487
>Is he going to protect me from death?
The whole point of having our faith is for life BEYOND death. We may suffer in this life, or not.
>>68285492
>Following videogame ideologies unironically
I bet you anally masturbate to Metal Gear Solid every night too
>>68292600
Good faith doesn't sacrifice wisdom.
>>68292866
It's just a quote, guy. I'm not following it or joshua graham in any way, I just liked the quote and used it
>>68285492
Because modern Christianity is full of short comings and conflicting narrative which is addressed mainly by theologians that belonged to the Catholic church... that no one reads.
>>68293098
Then go read them?
>>68285492
What's the process at 26yo, not baptised ?
>>68285492
I was just thinking of Jushua Graham today. Wot a bad ass
>>68293279
Get baptized?
>>68285492
Because the ultimate redpill to me is skepticism.
No religion satisfies my skepticism.
>>68285492
christcucks and their fairy tales. baka desu.

I've noticed there are some "heathens" on this board. 99% of asatruars I've come across in real life are obese with long greasy hair and pubey beards. They're trying to hard to be manly vikings it's embarrassing t b h.
>>68293228
Fuck that, fampai. You might as well just go to Judaism at that point. At least the average rabbi reads their metaphysics and philosophy.
>>68293873
and they won't diddle you.
>>68293923
They'll suck your dick, tho.
>>68293923
>>68293873
Or you could just go read the metaphysics and philosophy of christian theologians
>>68294174
kek

can someone call and vocaroo the number. >>68293454
>>68293098
>The issue is, nobody reads the theological writings that address the shortcomings of modern Christianity...
>>68293873
>Actually Read them? Nah, fuck that
>>68285492
there is no light if we dont light one
>>68294416
>Reading numerous Catholic theologians that have to work around a rigid framework of what is considered "Christian Canon" that often hits dogma bedrock
>Not reading Judaic texts of Jews arguing Jew bullshit for nearly two thousand years.
>>68292600
I have faith in speghetti god. Check mate
Moreso, i can whip something out of my ass and have more faith in it.
>>68294613
What rigid framework? The canonical framework is built on theology.
>>68293815
Heathens are weird in the sense that it's like they're rollplaying by only using things they have specific evidence for people doing and staying away from anything they see as "new age" like they think it'll stop assholes from labeling them as weirdo hippies like they see all pagans.
>>68295529
Even weirder that their beliefs and rituals come from Snorri who was a Christian. His writings were almost definitely biased and full of misinformation.
Ragnarok and Hellheim are made up by Snorri most scholars believe
