Hello, /x/.After thiking for a while now, some years of reflection and instrospection, I think I understand why religion is so appealing to us, the cattle or the masses, one of the reasons actually, because there is more than one reason. Religion gives meaning to them. Even if the religion is a fake one, it sill will give meaning to the people. Life has no meaning. I think most of us will agree with this, even the so called christians will agree that life has no meaning (and they even say that life has only meaning when you consider God in the equation). So again, life has no meaning and while life has no meaning we have this desire to have meaning, otherwise why are we here if we have no meaning? And in this search for meaning is when religion gets the hold of the cattle. In order to give meaning to their lives they turn to religions like christianity which will say that the meaning of life is to worship and serve God. And God will use his elected ones, people like the pope, to make know what His Will is. Of course, there's no way for the cattle to really know if the pope indeed speaks with God. The signs show that if the pope is talking to someone then that someone is the one so called Satan, the evil one.I now understand better why some people here consider it a weakness when someone turns to religion. It's because that person who did turn to religion can't give meaning to her own life so he/she needs religion, and a religion is fabrication to give just that. If you manage to create a religion which is appealing enough, you can give meaning to people's lives and at the same time you become this figure higher than life, a messiah. We crave for meaning and people exploit that. I'm grateful towards this place because this place made me realize hidden secrets. We don't need religion. We don't need christianity. All we need is already given.
>>41360929We don't need to follow a death cult trap to have meaning in our lives. Religion is for weak minded people who can't walk for themselves or think for themselves and so they need someone to carry them over, drag them across life. Don't fall for this trap. Dont fall for this deception that is set up. They will explore the fact that we seek meaning to exploit us and trap us in their fake ass religion which will make us unhappy. You will think yourself as scum. Why would God create scum? He did not. But those evil men want you to believe that you are helpless and that you are evil and scum. They need you, you don't need them, but they need your energy and money, but you don't need their deception. They are leechers, vampires. They flash signs and symbols in your face because they know signs and symbols are charged with meaning and they use that to control your brain. They know how much impact the image of dead man on a cross has over your mind. They know the impact that an icon fashioned at the likeness of a pussy has over your mind (the virgin marry imagery). It is mind control. Witchcraft. The church is evil. They supress knowledge. They ar evil bastards. Let us all wake the fuck up. We don't need them.
I think life has meaning.
>>41360929I understand that you hate God, are jewish and don't have the capacity to conceptualize, but Jesus is the Lord of Hosts and he King of the universe.Just because the faith is used in a specific way to guide you, it doesn't make it any less true.The Bible is honest that we are his sheep and that we don't have a will of our own when it comes to following him, it is he who calls us, but unlike those of the lost world we are not enslaved to sin or to our fallen nature, instead we are slaves to righteousness and what is good.Being subservient to the light is better than ruling in darkness
>>41360929>Boomer still doing atheism like it is edgy
>>41360929Read Buddhism and Jung. If not God then something must be controlling you. Self is an illusion.
>>41360929its stucture for people who live in perpetual mind control regardless
>>41360929the main problem is that you actually think that you are intelligent.
>>41360961Nta. Lifelong Christian but I’m about to give up bc I have been poor for so long and no Christians ever give me actual money like the Bible tells them to. So it’s obvious one big larp they are all in.
>>41360932"Christians can't think for themselves" literally parrots reddit cringe. post nose
>>41360929religion is nothing without the drugs that allow you to communicate with the godshttps://m.youtube.com/watch?v=MPHyR92MQic&pp=0gcJCQYKAYcqIYzv
>>41361022>Christianity is about making money Give to Ceasar what is Ceasar's, but give to God what is God's.You cannot serve both God and money at the same time, as a Christian you are meant to be satisfied with the little that you have, not to extort people for their pocket change.If you hunger and thirst, you are meant to be nourished with the word of God
>>41360929Religion is therapy for a weakness.Any institution which offers therapy for weakness is attracting the most people most vulnerable to manipulation.Therefore, religion is broadly known as innocent morons and manipulative assholes. If you support religion, you tend to fall into one of two categories. However, innocent morons don't like to be told that they are innocent morons, so you can't really educate them on the concept in this way.
>>41360961>I understand that you hate God, are jewish and don't have the capacity to conceptualize, but Jesus is the Lord of Hosts and he King of the universe.the jewish (sumerian) deity you submit to isnt the real God. >Being subservient to the light is better than ruling in darknessyour jewish false dichotomy isnt real. i simply dont desire to serve any jewish cult. just as i dont desire to rule over anyone else.
>>41361017this is it, can we call it a thread now?
>>41360929>meaning to lifeThis phrase indicates to me that you didn't pick your own. Life is a very big concept. To try to tie it down to a "meaning", as though life is just a word, is absurd. "I need the meaning of life" is just code for "my brain won't stfu, and so I ask a lot of nonsense questions".It's true that your own choices can give meaning to your life, and the meaning for your actions can be given to you by others. You can even take other people's ideas and use them to add onto your own. Crazy, I know.Meaning is what you discover AND what you create. It's everything if you focus on everything, and it's nothing if you focus on nothing. You can focus on the inner world and that is reality, or you can focus on the outside world and that is also reality. They are both reality. Enlightenment is not about realizing "aha! it's actually reverse to what the orthodoxy says because I am le smart!" Enlightenment is learning how to bring all of your urges together, point them in a positive direction, and to truly crave positive things, and then act on them without delay or fear.

I never found religion to be appealingI only did it because I was indoctrinated as a child and I thought it makes people happyTurns out it was just bullshit control systems for imperialism, capitalism and other worse things
