I'm thinking of become a priest.
>get paid to preach
>not expected to marry
>relatively comfy
>roof over your head and food for the rest of your life
Post your thoughts desu senpaitachi.
I think it would suck if you didn't really believe in it. And, you'd have a tough time convincing people too. But, maybe eventually you'll come to believe it, then that would be a real win.
Catholic priests need a masters degree in theology m8, sorry

it sucks. people will get outraged at you over nothing because of their personal expectations of what a priest should behave like. you are basically a mascot for christianity.
if you could just chill and take care of the church and the garden, and do the preach stuff once in a while it would be nice.
>>25152308
It requires alot of human interaction and socialising, also you have to always be clean and groom yourself regularly, learn good manners.
Don't forget the other duties priests have besides preaching.
Oh and be prepared to be muslim-tier devoted to God, it will consume a lot of your free time, all the preaching and stuff.
And forget about sex, that also means no prostitutes.
Oh, and I think you need a degree, so there's that.
If you're ok with all of this, go ahead.
But it would be better if you started while you were young.

It's all fun and games until you have to hold an exorcism.

>pound pre-teen boipuchi
check plus, amiright?
and no it's not a NEET lifestyle at all actually because it requires a shit-ton of studying.
OP you're thinking of...monkhood I guess you'd call it. Or monkdom. Like living in a monastery on a mountain or something.
at least people would leave you alone and I would never hear "why don't you have a girlfriend" ever again
>>25152308
it's definitely not NEET, it is employment
Priests have a lot of work that they have to do each week even if some of it can be comfy. They have many oobligations and have to perform weddings and funerals often. It's not like they just perform one mass each day.
>>25153062
"asceticism"
Nope. They'd rather have someone who dated girls in the past than someone who's never been on a date out of gay pedophilia fear.
I wanna be a monk!!
study all day, be disciplined, have a roof and food, never worry about money or earthly things like social life and bitches
germanfag here.
the priest in my community drove a porsche 911 and there was rumours that he did coke and fucked prostitutes on a regular base
after time he got old but still party'd hard so he probably became a literal potatoe by now
>>25152308
Rather than join the priesthood
Consider joining an order of monks
Quiet, many have vows of silence, meditation, hard work on monastery farm or industry
Many are vegetarian
No women, ever
Basic clothes, often a robe and sandals only
Short hair or bald, grow beards
No car, no TV, no radio, just chanting
Nothing to distract
Peace and calm, order, structure
Plenty of different orders of monks, all over the world
Tune in, Turn on , Drop out
Actually my dream job. I love public speaking, it would give me a good reason not to have sex, would give me a political platform, would be a nice way to study the humanities for a living, and would give me de facto respect.
Being an atheist is suffering though.

Hey, do you really want to be a monk? I'm seriously considering it right now. I'm sick of my current situation.
Anyone else? Maybe we can band together and move to a monastery or something.
>mfw not expected to browse 4chan
>mfw this guy has been with more girls than you
>>25154838
>MFW nobody here wants to become a monk
why
I don't live this life by choice but if you're religious and feel it would satisfy you, then go for it.
>>25154258
If anyone actually does this, make sure it is Catholic or Orthodox and not Buddhist.
>>25152308
Are the standards for priests acutally lower in the US because Americans are so stupid? Our priest have to learn Latin and Greek.

Orthodox priests can still get married, so if you're looking for a vocation where you're never expected to be married, go with Catholicism.
>>25155662
what's the difference, mainly?
>>25154838
Let's do it
I'm gonna graduate from uni in 3 years and then I'll be free
NEET sect when?
I'm technically a priest under the law
Ie I can marry people
Takes two seconds online for free
feels holy
>Priest
You will be normalfag's emotional doormat for the rest of your life
Be a monk.
>>25152308
You really can't do it if you truly believe.
I know a lot of the church is already populated by complete fucking cunts who simply cannot believe in what they preach, but you can't add yourself to that.
If you want some real NEET lyfe, go join some chinese monastery. Bit of meditation, bit of farming or crafting to cover the bills and that's it.
Go Shaolin, if you're feeling hardcore. You definitely will not make it. Not a chance.
>>25152308
If you become a Trappist monk, you are not expected to talk much. You have to use a special sign language.
Also they bake and eat cookies and beer and stuff.
>>25155804
Fug. Why don't you just give up and join me now? Be free much sooner and you have plenty of time to decide what you want to do next. Life is fluid and nothing is set in stone, might as well take the chance and taste freedom.
>>25155819
Me too since today actually. Got bored at work
>>25155906
im in uni because i want to learn shit desu. its not just future wagecuck training for me
im not sure if grad school is worth it anymore, though, based on all the shekels im expected to earn. this is why monking it up after undergrad is perfect for me
>>25155975
Nah desu. You'll just change your mind after all that time. You could say fuck it now and you'll have plenty of time to learn afterwards. In fact, you'll probably be more motivated to do so. Wouldn't it feel good to let go of all the imposed responsibilities for a while?
>>25155887
that actually looks like an incredibly comfy lifestyle
