I’ll start
>>25144378Have you ever been baptized?
>>25144378The Quran?
>>25144378It's hard to call the bible a 'book' in the traditional sense, it's a compilation of oral teachings and mythology collected over hundreds of years and only finally 'finished' in like the 1600's. There is no one author only alleged divine inspiration, which occurred hundreds of times.
>>25145133It’s a book
>>25145466o9a shit is literally genreslop tier and somehow its this low
>>25145118Great poetry collection.>>25144378KJV is one of the best translations in existence, par none. The source texts lets it down./
>>25144378Unironically, my diary.I've tried on two separate occasions to keep a diary and I ended up destroying both of them because I made the mistake of going back and looking up older passages from years ago and cringing so hard that I needed to erase them from existence.
>>25144378It's how Christians weaponized their retards. It's MKUKTRA for moron. Get them to believe the book, and the dogma about the book you taught them like you're teaching a retard to read. Christians love being illiterate, but teaching the illiterate to read.>The term Christian isn't even in there in the original copies>Ammon Hillman would agree with my sentiment, but not my choice of languageAs much as I like the guy's work, the term Christian and Christianity itself are cursed. >The Storm God, YHWH, is dead>however, the god that allegedly took it's place,>it loses power when unacknowledged>according to experts that are still studying itNot referring to the fictional repository of anomalous literature, but to legitimate anomalous studies that have yet to prove or disprove what the fuck that really is, or who. Don't believe in anomalous studies, deboonking addicted atheists? Drop it. I don't believe in faith healers, or this book. Bible nerds have deboonking addicts too, and so do those organizations, they must adhere to science to be legitimate.
>>25144401No response dictates he has not...OP probably spent his formative years chasing bugs and by that I don't mean he was an entomologist.
>>25145777I didn't understand scripture at all until I got baptized. It's actually pretty wild honestly. It was all utter nonsense but now I understand it.>M-muh confirmation bias!lol, lmao. The difference is like night and day.
>>25144378Hard to top this considering the terrible effect it's had. There are probably some pretty dumb books out there, but this one has had an incredibly devastating reach.
>>25145646No, you're cringe.
>>25145466Did reading Tale of the Toa fuck me up as a kid?
>>25144378I really dont get how unironic christ cucks on the 4channel internet still exist and they actually larp as a last ditch effort that this is somehow "defending our culture".Genuinely more baffling than some "queers for palestine" shit
Bait thread
>>25145466This feels like it was made by a high schooler
>>25145466Leaving the Bible aside - Don Quixote and The Republic should not be that low - there must be nicer covers of Iamblichus and the Gathas to use - I know there are better covers for The Republic and Serrano - I wish Blood Meridian was less popular among normalfags
>>25145466In between Meccan Revelations is Linear A by the way https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linear_Ahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Al-Futuhat_al-MakkiyyaHow do we know Linear A is not Phoenician? Wouldn't that make the most sense?I know some guy tried to prove it was Middle (?) Egyptian for some reason
>>25145823not everybody defines their entire identity around how much they hate their parents you fucking dweeb
>>25146524My parents are atheists.
>>25146604Your father is God and your cultural fathers are the church fathers unless you're a pajeet.
>>25146638My cultural fathers are Homer and Ovid.
>>25146638>your cultural fathers are the church fathersIdolators actually believe this.
>>25146655This. Burn the church.
>>25146655Among others including the originators of the Christian tradition. If you claimed to be an a-homerist you would be just as retarded, it would be the same kind of inane, incoherent rebellion against your fathers.
>>25146727I am not Jewish. Neither Moshe nor Yeshua are my fathers
>>25146741Even the most remote cannibal nigger today is deeply influenced by Christian ideas.
>>25146741They are. No matter how much you try to deny it in your pathetic incel rage.
>>25146757>pathetic incel rageI think Vaush and keffals are your fathers
>>25146755That‘s why everywhere in the world is in its own brand of dumpster fire.
>>25146771I don't disagree entirely. Almost all our problems today are products of too much success. We're spoiled by overabundance given by the mercy of Christ.
>>25146805Bait
>>25144378Look, I am all for shitting on Christianity, but my religion has Christianity beat by a mile. The creation of the world is literally an LSD trip, and the number of times someone ties their balls to a goat outpaces the number of epic battles. Christianity has got nothing on the Norse religion when it comes to batshit crazy stories.
>>25146808It's a measurable fact, nobody is deprived, everyone has food.It's also Nietzsche's main thread of criticism of Christianity. Organisms need adversity or they decay and Christianity has made life too easy. Defeating Satan shouldn't be the goal since he's necessary, we should love our enemies not despite being enemies but because we need adversity.
>>25146831That isn't your religion. You don't actually believe in Thor and everyone knows it. No one takes you seriously because you are a deeply unserious person.
>>25146839Anon never even claimed to be an AsatruistYou have Pagan Derangement Syndrome
Test
>>25146839You don't actually believe in Yahweh and everyone knows it. No one takes you seriously because you are a deeply unserious person.
>>25147556I know for sure God exists. I don't know for sure if anyone has any correct insights about God but I believe some have and that ancient Hebrews documented advancements in human understanding of God that was a product of insights from many different ancient cultures. I believe Thor is a name for a spirit in the same sense that the word "bicycle" describes everything that embodies a certain spirit.
>>25144378Go fuck yourself
>>25144378I pissid an shidded and farded and came in my pants
>For the preaching of the cross is to them that perish foolishness; but unto us which are saved it is the power of God.>For it is written, I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and will bring to nothing the understanding of the prudent.>Where is the wise? where is the scribe? where is the disputer of this world? hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world?>For after that in the wisdom of God the world by wisdom knew not God, it pleased God by the foolishness of preaching to save them that believe.>For the Jews require a sign, and the Greeks seek after wisdom:>But we preach Christ crucified, unto the Jews a stumblingblock, and unto the Greeks foolishness;>But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God.>Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men.The thought of Christ dying for man is foolishness to human wisdom. The Bible notes this, but that does not mean you cant be saved OP. Trust in Christ and not your own wisdom
>>25146839If you say so. I don't believe in Thor as an actual person riding a chariot across the sky, because I don't have a severe debilitating intellectual handicap that prevents me from understanding physics. But it is my religion in the sense that I often read the Edda, I extract lessons from it to inform me on how to think and how to act, I perform blots, try to have Drengskapr, and pay close mind to what I do and how I do it. Whether or not I have your approval to call it a religion or to call what I do faith, is irrelevant to me. Your definition might be so strict that nothing fits inside of it other than whatever you believe, and if that is so, I can't do anything but feel sorry for you. It's deeply intellectually dishonest to treat faith and religion that way. I know what I believe and how I express that belief. That's all that matters to me. You can either accept that, or not. Either way, I will keep saying Norse religion is my religion.
>>25148619>im NOT a LARPaganlol yes you are
>>25148726You will never be a Hebrew
>>25148619>I don't believe in Thor as an actual person riding a chariot across the sky, because I don't have a severe debilitating intellectual handicap that prevents me from understanding physics.>It's deeply intellectually dishonest to treat faith and religion that way.But it's not you retard. Pagans in the past literally believed all of this to be real. Of course, whether or not they presume these entities reside in an actual physical place on Earth or some aether-like separate dimension is a separate matter altogether, but they do indeed confess to them carrying some form of tangible existence.
>>25148979Christians in the past believed that God literally created the world in seven days, that there was a literal Garden of Eden, that the sun revolved around the Earth, that the world was 6000 years old, that Eve was literally created from Adam's rib and that the entire earth flooded killing all land-dwelling creatures except Noah and the people and animals on the ark.Religions evolve with time
>>25148979>some aether-like separate dimension is a separate matter This is basically what anon said he believes. The gods exist in the collective unconscious of man.
>>25148988>Christians in the past believed that God literally created the world in seven days, that there was a literal Garden of Eden, that the sun revolved around the Earth, that the world was 6000 years old, that Eve was literally created from Adam's rib and that the entire earth flooded killing all land-dwelling creatures except Noah and the people and animals on the ark.They still do. Even when Christians say this all happened but evolution is TOTALLY real (trust me, bro) or in some separate metaphysical plane of existence before our own, it's still not "merely" a metaphor to them.>Religions evolve with timeThey die when more people start adopting secularism.>>25148991>This is basically what anon said he believes. He did not, stop being disingenuous. >The gods exist in the collective unconscious of man.I'm not talking about Jungian mumbo jumbo when I refer to aether.
>>25148619You're a Christian desperately trying to pretend Ásatrú is like Christianity as a rebellion against your actual culture. Þór didn't dispense wisdom to the masses. Óðinn was the wise one who supposedly spoke the poetry the Eddas reference and he didn't dispense wisdom universally either, he was a trickster who actively tells us he's withholding the most important knowledge. Studying ancient texts is good but that's not what you do and that's not a religion.
>>25148979>they do indeed confess to them carrying some form of tangible existence"Bicycle" had some form of tangible existence before the first physical bicycle was invented.
The Bible is actually amazing. It shows that, even in their own idealized stories, Jews just can't stop being Jews.Old testament was a long string of Jews breaking the rules, getting punished, then being mercifully granted a second chance. Over and over, and they just can't contain themselves.New testament has numerous moments of Jesus subtly going "I can't with these fucking Jews anymore" even when it was all chronicled by four Jews.
>>25147893I know for sure Thor exists. I don't know for sure if anyone has any correct insights about Thor but I believe some have and that ancient Norse documented advancements in human understanding of Thor that was a product of insights from many different ancient cultures. I believe Yahweh is a name for a spirit in the same sense that the word "bicycle" describes everything that embodies a certain spirit.
>>25145786I was baptized as a baby, you are just experiencing some crazy placebo effect.
>>25148604That's a tactic that most religions use. If you remove the pretty words it's just saying that if you don't believe me you're stupid.
>>25149113We already know you're a larpagan lad. No need to belabor the point. Im sorry that your parents made you go to church on Sunday instead of letting you watch anime.
>>25149126You'll grow up one day kid.
>>25149129My parents are irreligious and your stock phraseology still can‘t make sense of the claim that everybody is a secret atheist except you.
>The six days are not ACTUAL days idiot, it is a genius metaphor for the six periods of creation>But yes, God can literally do anything He wants with magic>But the snake did not actually talk, it was a clever metaphor for... ummm... nobody knows, and everyone has their own interpretation...>But yes, God created everything with His magic powersLol.
The entire Abrahamic faith is stories of impossible events with apologists claiming it is just symbolic but not agreeing on what it symbolizes lol.
>>25149152My orthodox Bible explains the 6 day creation thus. Earth came into being simultaneously but the tradition of the 7 day week and Sabbath was a divine myth created by Moses/ author of Genesis with intent to give ancient Hebrews a day of rest which they earned for the 6 days of hard labor - the Genesis story of creation gives this idea a seemingly theological backing.The evidence is expounded by Jesus when he said “The Sabbath was made for man, and not man for the Sabbath.” The idea of 6 day creation and a day of rest was a divine idea imparted by Moses for his followers, and Jesus seemingly deems this accurate or otherwise if Sabbath was made because God was actually tired the statement from Jesus would be a lie.
>>25149152The more I think of it “the Sabbath was made for man” literally means the 7 day creation isn’t literal. Anyone claiming the Genesis story is literal is a heretic by Jesus’ own words.
>>25149155Its not symbolic its literal and you can literally see the rivers after the global flood retard
>>25144378There’s 66 books in there. The most retarded in my opinion is Esther which basically boils down to “Jewish pussy is worth selling out your kingdom for”. The least retarded is probably Job, when you realize the moral of it is “shit happens in cycles, hold out and wait until you have a stroke of good luck/divine favor again”.
>>25149189I prefer ecclesiastes
>>25149201NGMI
>>25148726Being a christcuck in 2026 is an even worse larp...
>>25144378made the christcucks seethe with this one well done OP
