They literally get on their knees and pray to Virgin Mary to intercede because Jesus is too busy to receive your request directly o algo. On top of that they have thousands of saints that they prey to, same story so that they can intercede in your request. Oh that family member that has cancer? Lets go years to church to ask for mercy and so god can cure him and when he inevitably dies they will just say it was God's plan o algo asi and that God works in mysterious ways Its a cult of weakness and only low IQ subhumans follow it, no wonder this region is filled with them
>>222381124I thought iconolatry was a mostly eastern thing
>>222381255they """"venerate"""" instead of worshiping. In the minds of catholicucks those two things are completely different
>>222381124i hate being catholic sometimes. i literally went to confession on friday and i was asking the priest "is it sinful to think something, but not say it?" and he said yes is it is a sin. I'm going to hell, god didn't forgive me for my sins and I live apart from him
>>222381124Catholics have the best parties, June celebrations, church fairs, folk culture, food, and music.Meanwhile protestant and atheistic scum have nothing.I will have fun and meet girls in the St. John's june festivals while you are seething here, like a good incel you are.
>>222381465Why would you go into a booth alone with a closeted homosexual? I never understood how so many people can place such responsibility of guiding a flock on a socially stunted individual that can't have a conventional relationship with a woman. How the fuck is this dude going to talk to you about family life or children when he has none?
>>222381465How could it be sinful to think something when thoughts arise in the mind against the will of the person witnessing/experiencing the thought. “I” didn’t put the thought there, therefore the thought is not mine. Buddhism mogs this stupid shit so hard lmao
>>222381662Just ask any catholic why they pray to Mary instead of Jesus or why does God allow Satan to exist if he is omnipotent, they go on full mental gymnastics mode its insane. The entire premise of the religion is that man itself is full of sin and has to ask for forgiveness and mercyLiteral humilliation ritual
>>222381576You sound like my protestant friends, yes, I hear you. I've thought about converting to a conservative sect of Lutheranism. Here's the thing. Catholic girls. I know when i get married the priest gives terrible advice and basically tells the woman im allowed to rape her and theres no such thing as divorce>>222381662Dude i literally said that to the priest and he said "No. We have free will and you can choose not to think those thoughts" deadass he said that
>>222381124Obsessed homosexual
>>222381124Most religion is just institutional tard-wrangling the population into not being retards, killing others or doing harmful stuff to themselves or others.If you really want actual spiritual guidance you're kinda on your own, or will have to delve deep. Christianity is spiritual goyslop that many pretend is very deep for virtue signaling.
>>222381124*farts in your mouth*
>>222381576Are priests that much worse than shrinks?
>>222381465When I was a kid like 1 year after getting communion I decided to go to confession again. The dickhead priest berated me for not remembering the magic words in the perfect order. Never went again and was converted to atheism by Dawkins YT videos shortly after. Funny thing is I went through apostasy when I was in a catholic school. When I started noticing the deeply religious teachers are just traumatized people who cope with religion it only reinforced my new lack of belief (they'd for example admit they had a serious car accident in the past and say it made their faith stronger when they survived).
>>222382805yeah, i had a similar experience. i watched dawkins too and i actually would argue with my religion class teacher in Catholic school about stuff all the time. that actually made me popular because it turns out all the other kids thought it was bs too. But i dont know im trying to get involved in the community, and even if Im not a true believer maybe I can be a cultural christian.
>>222382805I had the same journey except years later I realized my apostasy at it's core came from a petty dispute with the man made organization which caused me to emotionally sour on Christianity which seemed really shallow relative to the actual questions about the cause of existence and then I reexamined scientific conclusions regarding the beginning and evolution as well as European Polytheisms and the Abrahamic religions from ancient history, myth and theology perspective and came to the conclusion that Jesus is really God and all the churches started by the apostles (so in Europe Catholic and Orthodox) are true nations of the Holy Spirit. Jesus died and was resurrected, the miracles at the jewish temple stopped, the forgiving of sins for the jews stopped, the veil was broken, the temple destroyed, rome converted due to the informed decision of saints to sacrifice themselves for the truth because they were witnesses to the resurrection. If you don't understand that then you will never ever have the true model of the world and beyond.
>>222383013Yeah I'm definitely a cultural christian as well.>>222383105I'm not here to argue, but I just don't see it that way. My experience was completely different and whenever I tried to come back to believing in anything it just didn't work with the knowledge I gained. It all depends on how your brain circuitry solidified. Some people will believe, some people won't.
>>222383277fair enough
>>222381124Yes but also every religion is like that
>>222383105How tf you came to the conclusion that all the miracles are real?
>>222381124Catholics in the UK are chads and overpowered. The amount of seethe that they cause is off the charts
>>222385296Written sources, coversion of rome, shroud of Turin. Both Christian and Jewish books agreeing on when they stopped.
>Be Christian>See Christian thread>It's negativePlease be nicer
>>222385388This is fucked up anonNone of that proves that any miracle has ever existed
>>222386429So sorry anon, unironically
>>222386454They actually do by standard forensic and historical research methodology. You may say that extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence but than let's be honest about it and admit that by normal scientific methods there sure is evidence for at least the resurrection of Christ and the miracles happeninng in the jewish temple until the crucifiction.
Go back to /his/ you christnigs.
>>222386429Sadly, this place isn’t that nice unironically
>>222386809>sure is evidence for at least the resurrection of Christ and the miracles happeninng in the jewish temple until the crucifiction.. No evidence for any of that>They actually do by standard forensic and historical research methodologyNope
>>222386809Do you have any Roman government records of some resurrection of Jesus?
>>222386866Obviously someone who won't look at the evidence and chose not to examine the issue in good faith will never agree. But it's a choice to run away from God. That's normal. God gave us the freedom to turn our backs on Him and most will. Anyway, I found a jeż
>>222386925"Evidence"
>>222386888There are witness accounts and saints that were martyred proclaiming they witnessed the resurrection. That's a pretty strong signature under the testimony. In fact I don't a stronger one can exist. Also shroud of turin.
>>222386951Choice to avert eyes
I believe because it helps me maintain contentment. Also talking to people instead of being a shut in helps too.
I like hyper-Calvinism, it's like being a white Jew.
>>222381124Christianity is the most crazy thing western society have. If you believe in you're civilized, you should abolish this stupid religion. I hate muslims in my heart but I think religious christians are nothing better than them. They are exactly the same things.
>>222387138Well you're a dumb gook in a country where everyone's ultimate escapist fantasy is your life ending and being reincarnated as a child rapist but the children are actually secretly 800 years old so it's not wrong, so maybe whatever we got is better.
>>222387138that's why you got two atomic bombs
>>222387138Dutch Reformed were the only foreigners you didn't kill during the shogunate and trading with them prevented you from sliding into utter medievalism.
>>222387138Massive L
>>222387169>>222387177>>222387197>these massive chimp outThat's why I think christianity is the same as pisslam. confirmed.
>>222387257Don't you have a seppuku scheduled for now?
>>222381124>they prey toLMAO
>>222381662Budha probably didn't say half the pseudo spiritual shit he's credited for, the fat fuck was playing mind tricks and philosophy and Jeets and changs decided to make him yet another god
>>222387257Based. Thank you for keeping Christianity at bay. But you still have a lot of work to do. There are 300,000 Japanese Christians living in Japan right now, you gotta sort them out. Either force them to convert or deport them to other countries.
>>222386429This is still infinitely nicer than what people say on social media
