I'm a 23-year-old atheist who wants to join the Catholic Church because it's the based and traditionalist reactionary thing to do. Can someone please explain to me what Christianity is all about?
You're not converting to shit. If you don't bother reading the bible and need someone to convince you when you already want to be a fake convert you're doubly full of shit
23 is a special number
>>537437845>Can someone please explain to me what Christianity is all about?Don't worry about it. You'll fit right in.
>>537437845Catholics aren’t real because jesus is a myth. Save your energy. Everyone is an atheist whether they want to admit it or not.
>>537437845
>>537437845Salvation through the blood of Jesus Christ, Son of God, only begotten.
>>537437845i like christian aesthetics. i like christian culture. christmas is a great time.
>>537437845It's about jews
>>537437845In what universe is worshiping a Jew based?
>>537438218>jesus is a myth.It's amazing how atheists accept the most anti-illectual nonsense nowadays.
>>537438411christians don't think hes a jew. hope that helps.
>>537437845I've read the old testament and about to start the new testament. A lot of it is very resonant because of how familiar it is to western values (Ecclesiastes and Proverbs are great reads), but I find it very epistemologically challenging to actually believe in God. I haven't yet figured out the puzzle, I'm hoping maybe one day I'll be able to allow space for it in my worldview but so far I can't help but he an agnostic physical sciences autist who looks at everything through an empirical lens or at least what seems plausible based on evolutionary psychology
>>537438458well you need to know what socrates and cicero thought about religion and God, what socrates said about the name zeus, how socrates quoted Acts 5:29
>>537437845>Can someone please explain to me what Christianity is all about?Yes, the Apostle's Creed was written for someone in your situation.I believe in God,the Father almighty,Creator of heaven and earth,and in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord,who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,born of the Virgin Mary,suffered under Pontius Pilate,was crucified, died and was buried;he descended into hell;on the third day he rose again from the dead;he ascended into heaven,and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty;from there he will come to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit,the holy catholic Church,the communion of saints,the forgiveness of sins,the resurrection of the body,and life everlasting.Amen.https://www.usccb.org/prayers/apostles-creed
>>537437845Assuming you’re here in good faith and not being a dick go to Catholic dot com and get some answers. Attend a diocese approved traditional Latin Mass near you. Do not approach the altar to receive the Eucharist. Listen to Bible in a year podcast with Father Mike Schmitz for entry level teaching then graduate to reading the Saints, Doctors of the Church and early Church Fathers after a year or two. If you want to convert you have to go through RCIA. If you have a prior marriage or a married to a divorced woman you have to get an annulment which can take a few years and there is no guarantee of a positive outcome. If you are living with a woman outside of wedlock stop. Talk to a priest at the TLM about your situation. If you are a faggot you have a lifetime of celibacy in front of you.Welcome home
>>537437845God is good and God is lightTo those who dwell in realms of night.But to those who dwell in realms of dayA human form does He display.
>>537437914FPBP, he probably thinks it'll get him laid or something retarded
>>537437845You won't guess who you'll have to spend eternity with!
>>537439710>All of time and space>Only 144000 jews are le goodThis can't be real
>>537437845i get this is bait but if you don't believe in Christ you shouldn't join, it's not right to be in a community you can't fully embrace, even if you join maybe you will come around, but it's better for you to read the bible first and then see whatever your belief leads you.
>>537437845>it's the based and traditionalistIt isn't.
>>537437845I mean. How about you read the Bible, then the Catechism of the Catholic Church? Here. https://www.vatican.va/archive/ENG0015/_INDEX.HTMIt's all there.
>>537440689That's incorrect. Even the doubter should be welcomed. Read on Catholic Existentialism, Emmanuel Mounier in particular. Fatih as a struggle is just as valid as innocent faith.
>>537437845>because it's the based and traditionalist reactionary thing to do.you people are not people. there is nothing on this planet that can convince me you are human beings. You are reptiles operating on instinct. if you, at any point in history besides the last 200 years, were to ever tell anyone that you are choosing your religion based on what a meme ideology tells you has the coolest vibes, you would be slaughtered like an animal and it would be good. are you even capable of becoming catholic? becoming catholic requires embracing the religion of your own free will which you clearly do not have. you, and millions like you, are moving through your one and only life on a kind of dream logic where ideologies puppeteer you with aesthetics and we are all going to fucking die as a result. we are all going to fucking die.
>>537437845Being a Catholic means not associating with non-Catholics. Also, you have to love brown people and be okay with priests touching little boys.
>>537440689Everyone doubts God even the most committed believer. Even the saints when they are here on earth. Truly a midwit take.
>>537437845>Catholic Church because it's the based and traditionalist
>>537437845>Can someone please explain to me what Christianity is all about?It's all about worshiping the god of israel and destroying yt (descendants of Romans who destroyed the second temple of the god of israel and with a bunch of his chosenites)
>>537444510These are not catholics,the catholic church does not have female preists
>>537444569
>>537437845Nice LARP, anyone serious would've already gone to any church and talk to the priest there

>>537444675https://wintersonnenwende.com/scriptorium/english/archives/articles/NSChristianity.html#speech
>>537437845Traditionalism in the catholic church is almost a larp, honestly. Save yourself some time and go to an Orthodox liturgy instead.
>>537437845Leave atheism and join nothing.It’s a great achievement that you leave the new world order moralistic dogma.Stay free. Think for yourself.You don’t need to identify to something.Best advice I can give.

>>537444678is the pope catholic?
>>537444703
>>537437845jew worship & self loathing.
>>537444768The pope is homotholic
>>537444768Listen there were always bad popes,but this doesn't negate the truthfulness of the catholic church or christianity in general
>>537444801
>>537444730stop giving poisonous advices retard>Stay freeYou can't do shit without being a part of a greater group
>>537444824>there were always bad popesthis retarded newfag calls himself catholic and thinks he is at liberty to call some popes "bad"these are the christcucks who call you "larpers" for not wanting to worship the god of israel
>>537444931Show flag
Start by watching Trent Horn.Also read books by Paul Kengor.Learn about who Bella Dodd was.
Catholicism is bullshit anyway.They call themselves christians but they are not. As for christianity, it’s been 99% hijacked by judaism.If you feel the pressure to join something it should a red flag right there.
>>537444960I'm from a small European shithole and I can be easily doxxed if someone (christmutt fanatics) bothers to
>>537444856Nazi flag?You are a nazi catholic christian?HahahahI bet you are circumcised too?
>>537445104The Talmud is extremely antichristian https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=ZbIRVHCvYVU
>>537440385the 144,000 are 12,000 of each tribe who all died without touching a woman and appear in the end times supernaturally after all the Christians are raptured to preach to anyone who would listen
>>537445104
>>537444721>Traditionalism in the catholic church is almost a larp
it's about sucking off jews, retard. there's nothing based or traditional about cuckstianity.
>>537445236
The only branch of christianity that “could” make sense is the one that is sourced from the serpent seed doctrine.
>>537437845>Can someone please explain to me what Christianity is all about?giving all of your money to jews and niggers while your country turns into a brown stewthis happens in literally every christian country
>>537445260i judge a thing by what it does, you faggot christcuck.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_purpose_of_a_system_is_what_it_does
>>537444824>Pope is voice of God and you should listen to him without critical thinking>Except when he is bad for church PRAverage christian larp
>>537445348You don't have to agree with everything he says only when he speaks ex cathedrahttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Papal_infallibility
>>537437845To all the atheist edge lords in here. It's weird the amount of times that Christians are cornered, outnumbered, out gunned and about to die and somehow pull through anyway.Siege of Vienna, Battle of Milvian Bridge, Siege of Peking, Battle of Antioch, Battle of Jerusalem. Shit, Christians even survived the Soviet Union. I'm Catholic so I believe its God's plan. But even if you're an atheist you have to admit that a group run by such an unorganized, haphazard and divided leadership surviving all this must have been a miracle.
>>537437845Lucifer died for us anon, don’t be swooned by the Christschizos
>>537437845Yeshua was a child molester
>>537439529Tradcath is such a larp, you know none of them live like that, they just want you to have more children to molest and pay them more money for the lawsuits. The Indian priest nobody could understand, the pay out the ass online communion class, and bouncing my kid’s communion a year due to a horrific car accident we miraculously survived made me a believer in god but showed me what a fucking scam the modern Catholic Church is.
>>537445535>God's plan>European/Western countries reject christianity for atheism>Only countries with increasing christian population are african ones>which won't last long since they are getting conquered by islamistsPeak christian mindset,sit on your obese ass,do nothing and larp about being trad as your religion crumbles.
>>537446075Christians are rising in China
>>537437845> because it's the based and traditionalist reactionary thing to doI'll get dogpiled for saying it here, of course, but I suggest you also look into the traditionalist side of Islam as well. Guenon suggested Islam as a path to tradition. The Islamic philosophers interfaced deeply with Greek philosophy and developed great insights of their own. Avicenna and Averroes were major influences on Aquinas while he was developing his theology. Look into how the core three core dimensions of Islam (submission to religious law) Iman (true belief and understanding of dogma) Ihsan (self-beautification through tradition) are reflected in the traditions of fiqh (four Sunni schools of religious jurisprudence), aqidah (schools of theological creed [where philosophy is concerned]), and tasawwuf (the mystic brotherhoods, known as Sufism). This lecture in particular got me interested in these topics:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07Ien1qo_qIFor the past few decades, there has been a rising group of Islamic scholars, many from the West (most prominently Hamza Yusuf from Zaytouna College in Berkeley and Abdal Hakim Murad from Cambridge), who are working to promote the traditions of the great Islamic civilizations and preserve them against Salafi fundamentalism and the corrosive aspects of modernity as a whole.https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Islamic_neo-traditionalismI also suggest you look at this series on the fundamental topics of Islam (basics, relations with Christianity and Judaism, education, sexuality, etc.), which the same lecturer teaches, it's very good:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL71F855370A4EA2B7
