Why don't you join a monastery, robots?
Because I like drinking too much.
I'd probably be a pretty good Franciscan Friar, though. I'm friendly, like helping people, and was poor for most of my life. I alsobelieve that Jesus Christ is the only begotten son of God, the Father.
It'd probably be a very fulfilling life.
I'm 29 years old and if there is not a positive shift in my life soon I will have to make a radical change.
A friend of mine joined a Zen monastery in Japan years ago, I might follow his example.
The other option is move to the Philippines and become a total degenerate.
Well considering I'm a permavirgin I'd fit in that aspect. And free food and room is cool too but I don't think I'd be able to keep up with the strict schedule. I sleep 11 hours a night. I'd rather be a hermit in the wilderness because I have a speech impediment that prevents me from talking in public.
>>24787175
It's a strict schedule, but it's really not that demanding. You're also living with people thatare your friends.If you joined an order that goes out and helps people like Franciscans, you'd be out seeing people everyday, building relationships, and helping out communities.
>>24787073
I don't believe and I don't want to lie about believing
>>24787173
>friend of mine joined a Zen monastery in Japan years ago, I might follow his example.
Why would you want to join some fucking chink throat-singing band when you could easily convert to catholicism and expirience the borderless love and care of our Lord Jesus of Nazareth?
>>24787213
>It's a strict schedule
This is the part that can eat a dick. I'm not joining a place I have to do bullshit meditation in and can't shitpost all day. If they make a monastery where you can just play video games and masturbate all day, I'm in.
>>24787216
>Not having faith
My son, you live on a beautiful grand planet in a wondrous wide universe. Do you not suppose that their was a Grand Creator behind this miraculous beauty?
>>24787213
Hmm that sounds cool. I have social anxiety though so but if it's one on one interactions I can deal with that.
>>24787238
Jesus Christ what a faggot.
>>24787249
>My son, you live on a beautiful grand planet in a wondrous wide universe.
Which humans have been permitted to turn into garbage. Unlike that anon, I have faith, and my goal is to kill the creator of this universe if there is one.
>>24787238
This guy gets it.
>>24787248
Selfishness does not bring happiness nor holiness, my child.>>2478726
>>24787173
Kill yourself, weeb.
I stayed at a Trappist monastery in the UK for two weeks this year. They wake up at 5am and work pretty much all day though.
>>24787268
You're angry, anon. Your rage will fade as well once you find your faith.
Leave behind all earthly doubt and embrace God's eternal light.
>>24787260
You'd start off being with your brothers and learning how help communities. Eventually you'd gain a little more autonomy.
Imagine going to orphanges during Christmas bringing some basketballs and books. Playing games with the children and reading to them. All while wearing your big gray frock. Then the next day going to a soup kitchen to help feed the homeless.
>>24787326
Oh you little shit, don't fool yourself. I never lost any faith. I fully accept that there may be gods. And if they are, they deserve to be rejected at the BARE MINIMUM for their complicity in allowing this Earth to become hell when it has NO excuse to not be paradise. Rest assured, fagnon, if there are any gods and I live long enough and grow powerful enough, I WILL kill them.
because I don't want to get shelled by the Combine
>>24787138
>implying monks don't drink a shitload
hell, monks basically invented modern beer brewing
Because I don't believe in your silly sky fairy
>>24787393
Yes, but most orders these days take vows of chastity, poverty, and sobriety.
>>24787073
>>24787329
Looks better than my current life, will consider it after my mother death.
>>24787249
The chances of there being a grand creator and then a specific one as detailed by one sect of the christian faith, is very low.
But I'm not really here to argue religion.
Monasteries are cool, monks in general are very decent people, and I see the good in religion enough to not lie about or delude myself into some sort of false faith.
>>24787384
Firstly, there is only one God.
Secondly, life on earth is meant to prepare you for paradise.
Lastly, how could you ever reach an entity as great and awesome as God, with your limited human strength and intellect? Your attempts will fail, just like the Tower of Babylon fell.
Christian metaphysics are fucking retarded, and whatever you say damn near all of those monks are literalists.
>you will never be a monk on the holy isle of Lindisfarne, drinking mead and watching the sun set over the ocean waves
>>24788644
>implying
Most literalists these days are Baptists and Methodists.
>>24787249
If there is a creator, their intentions ere to make me suffer.
As such, I will not worship them whether or not they exist.
>>24787326
My rage gives me power.
I have brought peace, freedom, justice, and security to my new empire.
>>24788765
Adopt me so we can rule the galaxy as father and son plz
>>24787446
then join one that doesn't require a vow of sobriety
>>24788648
enjoy getting rekt by Norse raiders
>>24787073
do you even know how hard it is to get into Mount Athos (your pic) as a monk?
You have to get written signatures by like a dozen monasteries saying you are super serious, then you have to charter a boat to take you there, renounce the world- meaning that you wont care if your Dad or mom is dying you wont give a shit you cant leave.
>>24788804
Sure thing.
From Henceforth, you will be known as Darth... Binks.
>>24788765
Refrain from anger, and forsake wrath! Fret not yourself; it tends only to evil
- Pslam 37:8
>>24787249
then hes an awful inefficient creator
>1x10^50000000000000 planets, and he just creates life on one
>>24788899
Don't make me kill you...
>>24788698
The picture OP posted is an Orthodox monastery, these faggots literally believe in angels, a personal God, and Jesus as real entity that grants grace and answers prayers. Christianity is an outdated spiritual tradition desu senpai.
>>24788593
>Firstly, there is only one God.
then lets go with one of the older ones, like Wodan, all hail his one seeing eye'edness
>>24788956
Kill me if you like, for I know my creator and have asked his forgiveness. I am not afraid to die, for I know that paradise awaits me.
>>24788970
this
they're literally ascetic
I know we a lot of robots like to romanticise things, but imagine life without any of your modern comforts
>>24789036
You will try...
>>24787138
>Because I like drinking too much
Uh, just speaking from personal anecdote, but monks of all kinds can and DO drink. Especially Orthodox monks. Jesuits too, if we want to count them.
>>24788888
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mount_Athos#Prohibition_on_entry_for_women
>women are barred from entry
sounds like a robot paradise
>>24787138
Trappists brew beer for the monks' consumption and for sale.
>>24787073
get your religious shit outta here
Monestaries are pretty sexy buildings but I don't think I could do it. I cant live without 4chan and video games desu
>>24789541
You would forget about these things pretty quickly once you do not have access to them anymore.
>>24789948
Yes, I agree with this. After a few months, you get into a new routine and go with it. The years fly by, next thing you know, you're one of the more senior monks.
sounds pretty good, aktually.
>>24789305
Good thing you aren't a robot.
monasteries don't want bots, either
>>24790183
This
There is literally nothing stopping you from becoming a monk
