I went to church the other day and I instantly felt intimidated by the place as I walked through the main entrance I almost felt ashamed for stepping inside because I couldn't respect the "keep silent" sign at the door No matter how hard I tried every noises I made kept resonating between walls up to the 35 meters high ceiling and then coming down amplified even letting out a whisper made me feel like a criminal Well sorry Jesus, I didn't mean to disturb the granny sitting on a bench (at a distance that's like half a soccer field from me) with only the sound of my respiration She probably cursed me in her prayers but whatever
I thought, why would you build a place so cold and unwelcoming if the core values of your religious teachings are love and forgiveness? It's true, in the summer heat it's nice to have a chilly place to spit some prayers with your hommies but In the winter it's worse than to be locked inside a freezer, just holding the bible without gloves while singing psalms will make you want to set fire to the whole place Not to mention, the office is so boring when you get out of here you're boiling inside and since you're not allowed to be violent for no reason you kind of want to start looking for people who dont believe in Jesus so you can bash the everloving shit out of them It was a popular pass time back then by the way
Nowadays, these churches are almost empty After a century of separation between government and clergy ponctued by wars and countless scientific discoveries, Our western european country was almost about to proudly announce its victory toward ignorance. You know, This lack of common sense that is usually crippling over lower classes and impending their ascenscion to the kingdom of heaven as they resort to crimes and violence of all sorts to feed their younglins We were almost out of it, even the gypsies were learning to count to ten on their fingers
Carson Bennett
But then Jewish Mercantilism took over Government borrowed money to private banks couldn't pay debnts so started importing muslims instead
then we went back to the middle ages with them but that's another story
Kayden Cruz
Could you elaborate ? Are you saying heaven is or is not real, and are you saying religion is or is not going to come back ?
Thank you.
Chase Green
This is probably pasta, but >why would you build a place so cold and unwelcoming if the core values of your religious teachings are love and forgiveness? As a labour to God. It's not meant to be scary or attract followers, it's meant to show God how devoted we are to him by being really reverent in our worship.
Jayden Wood
I think Heaven and Hell are imaginary places created by men to find some outer dimensional justice inside of this chaotic mess.
Religion is already here and will never leave.
Landon Howard
>t's meant to show God how devoted we are to him by being really reverent in our worship.
I think it definetely misses the point then I aint following these teachings to show how submissive I can get, I just want a place thats comfy enough for me to share the warmth of my being with other conscious life forms but these churches have the ambiances of mortuaries
Aiden White
>but these churches have the ambiances of mortuaries
Then go when there is a mass.
Henry Sullivan
You're not supposed to be "comfy" in church. If you want entertainment, go to one of those Protestant megachurches with rock bands. Catholicism is a very self-sacrificial faith, Christian traditions weren't formulated with fun or comfort in mind.
Joshua Harris
I believe the ambiance you're feeling should be one of introspection.
Submitting to god is the only way, all else brings misery.
Benjamin Martin
Did you go to a gothic church? They can give you this feeling
Kevin Miller
Yeah and now we are importing bunch of even worse fanatics and retards than christians from ME.
Zachary Long
This is rambling. I don't know if you think this is art, or poetry, or whatever, but if you want to get a point across don't be so vague.
Benjamin Diaz
Well sounds like you're not a christian then
Don't fuck it up for those who are.
Hunter Hall
Could you please explain me what is a Christian ?
Ian Diaz
Someone who believes in stupid shit.
Ryan Bailey
Phwoar, would you look at the fedora on that one!
Ryan White
the religious impulse in man dies when it is standardized.
Ethan Rivera
Just the truth m8.
William Sanders
It's not the truth but your opinion... the other guy doesn't reply, I presume he doesn't know
David Gonzalez
>says opinion >"Just the truth"
Owen Russell
Sure thing popelord.
Xavier Richardson
>believes Even ancient aliens makes more sense tbqh XD
Elijah Wood
It seems your feelings on religion are stronger than people who are religious. How does it feel to have a hatred towards something that supposedly doesn't even exist?
Ethan Ortiz
they didn't make it warm because people spend only few hours of the week in church and it is just not practical to build some kind of heating system that would not damage the interior also when there is only one big masse a week and the whole local comunity is gathered in the church, like it was in good old days, share number of people make place warm. They focused on acoustics more since sound systems are quite modern thing
Caleb Harris
>organized cults dont exist What planet do you live in?
Evan Taylor
are you trying to shitpost?
Christian Bell
I'm Christian because when i was born my parents chose for me, and i've never said i believe in Christianity (or a God). But there are some values that remains true even if you're not religious. I know many sides of different religions and I made my opinion and I'm not telling you what I know is the truth
Kevin Nelson
pleb I'm saving this shit thread or destroying it. Either way suits me just fine.
Ryder Rivera
>Raised in Finland in a casual Lutheran family >Baptised and confirmed as a kid, and go to church on Christmas and Easter >Don't really think about religion that much >Find this website called Sup Forums >See these cool Americans talking shit about religion all the time >Decide I should fit in >Virtue signal about atheism at every opportunity >Atheism goes from being a mere state of being to a major part of identity Go out and live your life, mate. No need to feel so strongly about other peoples' business that doesn't affect you.
Caleb Reed
You think you know finns but you dont. Americans prolly copied talking shit about religion from finns. Just because you entered here when australia got it's internet established doesn't mean others havent watched this shitshow earlier. Finns are only habit christians, except for few muslim tier hillbillies.
Elijah King
>no argument >does a meme I suppose you need something to feel superior about. As if not liking church is even an achievement these days.
Carson Brown
There's nothing wrong with being habit christian though. The moment people stop being the muslims have won.
Gabriel Gomez
Oh we were arguing about religion in 2016? The fedora must have clouded my vision on that part.
John Peterson
won what? The fedora tipping competition? Finns are barely christian by culture anyway. All these holidays etc are pagan shit with a christcuckstamp. Get real muh nigga.
Thomas Cruz
Can we go back believing in Wodan again?
Wyatt Morris
Just go and join up with the neo-pagans(atheists), I'm sure you'll find lots of meaning and truth there
Jason Williams
We found the last catholic of France. Where do you live ? Allier ? Lozère ? Ariège ? Creuse ? ... ?
Jackson Lewis
ayo holl up! you be saying we wuz mudhuts and shied?. Fucking LARPers
