If you have depression please read this. I have no special interest in saying what i am about to say. You helped me once and I am returning the favor. There is a way to be happy again. That is to become an Orthodox Christian. Again, i have no special interest here. I am not a priest and i don't live near you. If you get baptised an Orthodox Christian, confess all your sins you ever done and you stop commiting a sin then you WILL be happy again. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE trust me on this. just try it ONCE. YOU HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE WHATSOEVER. YOU CAN ONLY WIN FROM THIS
P.S. that little voice in your head telling you that what I am talking about is crap is the devil
It's not like I can change my opinion on whether or not I believe in god at any moment, user. And I don't think that pretending to have faith will work.

>implying you know the god in orthodox christianity did you spent at least 3 years studying and understanding the theology? do you really think starting to believe in a religion is as simple as uttering a phrase in your mind?
Gavin Anderson
Ain't no Orthodox Church near me lad, otherwise I would. I like the hats.
Jaxon Perry
>And I don't think that pretending to have faith will work It kind of does though, it gets you to church, talking to religious people, seeing what it's all about. I'm not suggesting you lie, you can be open about the fact that you're looking for something and you don't know what. Just don't march in and start telling the priest it's a load of crap and you'll be fine.
Colton Davis
have you even seen Russians
Tyler Ward
Id rather not fool myself to be happy when i know the reality will never be so. You're taking a chance at limiting what you CAN do on earth because you're afraid of something that only children should be scared of. It's a lie dude. And no matter what you do, what you find, happiness and pleasure are fleeting and need constant nourishment. It's better to be miserable and real than happy and delusional
Adam Lopez
where do you live? there is an Orthodox monastery in essex
obviously you havent because you would feel instantly better
just don't overthink it if he does or does not exist. just try to go to a church

if you are so sure that its a lie then why are you so afraid to try? you have nothing to lose after all...
Kevin Clark
>If you get baptised an Orthodox Christian, confess all your sins you ever done and you stop commiting a sin then you WILL be happy again.
Funny, that's literally what protestant christianity promises. Conveniently when you're still not happy afterwards, it's always because you're still a sinner (because it's literally impossible not to sin) and couldn't possibly be because God doesn't actually exist.
in b4 fedora tipping images. They aren't an argument.
Xavier Adams
have you considered that protestantism does thing in the wrong way?
it's about confessing after you sin not avoiding sin completely
Wyatt Gonzalez
That doesn't make any sense. I know it isn't real, so I'm not going to take a chance at a delusion. I see it in people all the time, i know for a fact it's not gonna change anything. People singing, eating crackers, quoting bullshit stories and creating constant rules is not MY kind of happiness
Evan Torres

We are on the darkest timeline. The possibility of a brighter future was killed in 1945. The modern world is a disgusting place, and it's only going to get worse. The best possible outcome of this pitiful existence is for the entire planet to be obliterated.

>It doesn't work >it doesn't cure depression Just follow my advice once niggers and if you don't get cured then never do it again
1)get baptised an Orthodox Christian 2)confess all your sins you ever done 3)try to reduce the sins you are commiting

Nothing you say changes these facts: You worship a god that was created in the armpit of the world, by a people that have nothing in common with your culture, traditions, or your best interests. You are a traitor to your heritage and ancestors.

Checked for the Fuhrer. I live in Sheffield, it's a long way from Essex. There is an Orthodox Liturgy at the local Anglican Cathedral once a month, I might check it out. The nearest church to me is in Chesterfield which is fairly close, I think I'll go to the Cathedral liturgy and talk to the priest, see how it goes. Thank you for encouraging me, I've been meaning to go for ages.
Hudson Cruz
Why does God create sin in the first place? If its to test us he must know we will fail.
So, God should have created perfect beings to begin with & could have missed all the pain and eternal fire stuff out.

Johann Hari has every reason to be depressed, he was a highly successful journalist and then he got sacked for plagiarism. I think he has a point though, I've noticed that my depression tends to lift when something good happens, so I suspect it's actually a response to life events rather than any sort of medical condition.
Adrian Lopez
follow Brother Nathanael's example.
your ancestors learned the hard way that the true messiah is Jesus Christ.
actually some rabbis really know this. they whisper it in the ears of the soon dead

Well looking at the amount of 30 y-o childless whores in our society, I'd say the more a female enjoys sex the less likely she is to successfully reproduce

Your a Jew You can logic yourself into believing. The kike perception of god being beyond good and evil is to much for a human being to hold. The Fable of a Rabbi winning an argument with god was a lie by the rabbi. So god and the devil are two different beings for us right now as humans. It is easier to see the world of the devil these days. From your perspective the people who want to exterminate everyone in Israel. From mine the people trying to exterminate the white race... Your leftist diaspora. Anyways after you gather enough evidence of true evil you will know in your gut the devil is real. His opposite is then real. Turn around and see God. You will get a physical feeling when you first notice him and when you pray for answers. That's why ppl who know god is real can't explaine it. Something else that might help. God and nature used to be the same word. The devil split them.
Kevin Butler
>Orthodox Christian How does Orthodox Christianity differ from Lutheran Christianity?
Nolan Nguyen
>Even going to AA meetings I feel like a fraud because I'm basically lying about being up for the religious aspects You don't need to, at my AA group there are a few people who are quite open about the fact that they don't believe in god or any sort of spiritual reality. "A higher power" can be anything, all it means is something outside yourself. Some people's higher power is AA itself. You could have Kek as your higher power, it doesn't matter. Just keep going back.

Sin does make weakness and feelng forgiven will make you freer from many ZOG mental anchors. Try doing it to sabotage the ZOG grid and free others.
Jackson Turner
I meant that he was a jew and he converted to Orthodoxy
Lincoln James
Yeah I think of it in a pantheistic sense, like I'm talking about the natural order of things and a sense of objective goodness in going along with it. I just can't make the leap to believing there's anything with a personality running the show that cares about me either way. I will keep going for sure, it's only been a few weeks and it would already feel weird not to. Some very nice people.
Austin Turner
God created the simulation and gave you free will. You will probably test the limits of the simulation. Bible is a rule book to maximise real long term happiness and civilization. Sin is a cheat code that makes the game feel good in the moment but makes the game suck for you in the long run and it tears down civilization. Those fucking gooks who use the X-ray vision and headshot cheats on counter strike are sinners.
Zachary Campbell
it is the only Church that has not changed throughout the 2000 years. The words they are saying in the Orthodox Liturgy are the same words with what Jesus was saying. Also,lutheran church has been corrupted from the inside. Most Orthodox priests are 100% Christian and they have good intentions
Thomas Thomas
I might actually try this but I don't want to be a liar. If it doesn't work I'm not going to sit in a church pretending, it would be making a mockery of the people who do believe in it all.

>forbidden >either way you MUST abstain from it if you want to be happy
Because it says so in a book? I remember back when I was 17 y-o, a new family moved in next to our house. They had a 16 y-o daughter that became my "best friend". We lost our virginity together and she would often knock on my window at night because she wanted to have sex with me. They only stayed there for 3 months, but those 3 months were some of the happiest moments of my life. Even though we had sex often and were not married. Sex benefits your body positively, it makes you happier. I have nothing against casual sex, as long as it's done in a respectful matter. I have read the bible don't believe everything in it. It didn't fall from the sky afterall; it was written by men like you and me
