I believe in Christianity because I believe in God who's helped me and made me feel his presence, overwhelming my senses, while I was sober and walking in the woods. However I don't understand the appeal of churches - they all just become annoying mean girl social clubs filled with petty drama. Literally every single one. Hell the reason why I stopped going to church to begin with (before I got disillusioned by their dogmas) is my mom and her "girlfriends" kept annoying the shit out of me there. I've not found a single "good church" - regardless of sect - that isn't like this anywhere in the whole wide world. Maybe there's a Platonic ideal of such a church but definitely nowhere here!
>>41172786You're just kind of a loner boner, the whole "community" thing isn't for you
>>41172793It's no different from high school or work just with crosses and chants. Which, granted, I really do love the crosses and chants but still.
>>41172786believing in Christianity means you believe in Christ, God's SonChrist is one with God, but God is greaterGod created Christ, Christ did not create God
>>41172841God is three different persons and one of those persons came down to Earth and was incarnated as Christ. They all have the same will and mind.
>>41172858enjoy not entering Paradiseif you want to be a Christian, first learn how to read the Bible
>>41172888Muslims worship Satan.
>>41172915They do worship God, they are not idol worshippers, they are just not following the true religion
>>41172928The extent to which they worship God is so meaningless that you can make the same argument for pagans in the Amazon rainforest.
>>41172786can you imagine what the "petty drama" must be like in Antifa churches?
>>41172888Its the way you guys treat each other, where two of you will profess the same faith in Christ and then turn around and call each other not real Christians over theological disputes that makes the rest of us question whether your religion actually works. You understand that for the rest of the world this doesnt look like spiritual behavior? It doesnt look anything like your Christ.
>>41172942Honestly their faith is admirable. I aspire to believe in something that much. It's just that many of them curse the Jews, and to extent the decisions of God, who chose to make them his nation. That makes them unrighteous.
>>41172960Antifa doesn't worship God, they worship anarchy and violence
>>41172963Shalom
Right-hand path spirituality is on the way out, as far as those who are sincerely spiritual are concerned. Churches are very much a perversion and a hijacking of christianity as a religion, and it's been perpetrated by those who have or seek power in order to maintain/gain that power. It's used as a shield for sex offenders and wife beaters, and as a sword for malicious narcissists. Earnest christians are fine people, but I haven't met one in a long time. Anyone who insists on going to church before saying anything about their relationship with their god is not to be trusted.Seek a smaller/solo left-hand path of christianity and form your own relationship with your god.
>>41172970yes, and there is a god of anarchy and violence. Which they worship. and though they don't build "churches", they still have congregations where they "worship".And i ponder in horror the amount of "petty drama" that goes on in those places.
>>41172786Because perhaps you know deep down that a community formed around 'spread the message to save a few people from eternal hellfire' is ontological evil and you can't really dive full into it.When you feel 'presence' don't immediately rush to Christianity just because it was what your culture defaults to as God.There's no mission in Churches. It's a religion for the most cowardly of slaves.
>>41172888You're such a clown lmfao. Christians like you are the reason that this new wave of right-wing political change is going to fall apart. You IMMEDIATELY begin fighting anyone who doesn't think the same way you do, which is very ironically exactly how blue-haired trannies act on the left. Do you not at least FEEL a little stupid for acting this way?
>>41172786Fellowship will deepen your spiritual journey, to be around brothers and sisters in Christ, to love them as yourself, is what Jesus showed us in His perfect example.Just because you haven't found it yet, doesn't mean it doesn't exist - orthodox is a good place to look for community OP. God bless, and hope you find your place - please pray over it.

>>41172960Antifa doesn't have churches. It's not an organization, it's an ideology. It's a retarded ideology for weird fags who can't fit in with the rest of us, but it's just an ideology.>>41173102very little petty drama like this >>41172888 is taking place among Antifags because they are hostile to anyone who doesn't fit the ideal perfectly
>>41173189>antifa doesn't have churchesany place where two or more antifa are gathered is a church. >it is not an organizationyes it is. >it's an ideologyevery organization is an ideology, hence why Antifa is an organization. All organizations have members, antifa has members, ergo it's an organization. Just because it is structured differently than other organization types doesn't mean it's not an organization. >they are hostile to anyone who doesn't fit the ideal perfectly>and because of that there is very little petty dramayou contradict yourself. It sounds highly drama filled if they're "hostile to anyone that doesn't toe the line".>>41173172>there's only one God, who created everything.even the Bible mentions other "gods". Like the stuff about "and they worshiped foreign gods". Obviously the Christian God is a better god than those other other gods, i'm not arguing that, but denying that people worship 'gods other than God" (notice how one gets capitalized and the others don't?) is just pointless hairsplitting. Antifa worships Satan, as if it was god, their god. It's not the all-powerful god, but they pretend it is. You're not gonna go to hell just for admitting that other people worship other "gods", because even the bible uses such terminology.
>>41173268>nice try retard, here's my made up definition of a churchThat's not a church. Antifa doesn't have churches.>yes it is.No it isn't. I'm not advocating for Antifa, but it's important to understand the structure of something you want to eradicate. Antifa does not have a leader, there are no overarching organizational structures. They are little pockets of insane people who bully each other online into having almost the exact same ideology, but they are not as of this time an organization. That is why they're such a problem; there is no formal singular organization to attack.>every organization is an ideologyEvery organization HAS an ideology, not every ideology has an organization that encompasses everyone that holds it. Having "members" doesn't mean it's an organization, that just means those people adhere to the ideology.>you contradict yourselfIt makes perfect sense. They are hostile to anyone who doesn't fit the ideal (people who don't like fags, trannies, dykes, feminists, etc), including those who don't fit it perfectly (a tranny who doesn't like blacks, a feminist woman who won't sleep with a tranny, etc.). While there IS drama, there is very little because the dogma and strictness of Antifa thinking does not allow for dissent in the same way you did with that other anon. I did not contradict myself, you just want that to be the case.
>>41173157NTA,I used to be a Christian.There always was a feeling which rose up about how retarded the religion was. And how immoral it was. I just ignored those feelings and kept going by the book.
>>41173119Dude I don't want to be mean but look up what words mean. I can't take you seriously.>>41173163This was an Orthodox church. I've also been to the churches of all other sects many times - excluding modern meme sects or Miaphysites I guess.
>>41172786Only Satan is real.
