Once you realize that there is no god(s) after a while it kind of gets to you. I used to be a (Shia) Muslim, but I after reach a certain age I started notice the hypocrisy and contradictions with in the teaching of Islam. The morals of Islam weirdly enough defiantly did not exactly align of the morals of what my parents were teaching.
Example: In Islam if you steal you are suppose to cut off their hand, which ironically my father completely rejected that idea and found the practice barbaric.
At one point I turned to Christianity and believed it to be the "correct religion" which also started falling apart rather quickly. Their ideas and belief had very similar issues in what Islam had. The only difference Christianity is much more reformed due to things like the enlightenment era and Europeans pushing towards things like philosophy and science. In a nutshell Christian idealism is nothing more than a shell of its former self.
Not only that the concept of the Jewish god really did not make much sense to me and seemed more and more a combination of many ancient gods and ideas that were slowly lump together that happened thousands of years ago within the middle east, through oral history which eventually got distorted and turned into mere legend. Then it was put into books long after.
Fun fact: The foundation of monotheism for the three major religions was Zoroastrianism in which much of the ancient Jews adopted the idea from.
Later on I delved a bit into paganism, mainly I was fascinated by the ancient peoples before Christianity, I found their teachings and their way of life just resonated with me. I had no idea why... Either way it did comfort me a lot. Maybe because I had this unconditional love for ancient history since I was a child or I wanted to get in touch with my mother since she is a Polish immigrant, who knows (yes I'm a half breed, get over it). However later on an event in my life and how the view of spiritualism changed everything...
When I was 21 years old I took LSD for the first time. Honestly it's hard to describe to someone who never took it but, But Imagine yourself being dead and alive at the same time. It was the most beautiful experience I had my entire life. It shook everything in how I see the world, I cried, I laughed, and felt love all at the same time, I was overwhelmed. After that experience I wanted to "learn more". I later on took DMT and it made LSD look like a Childs toy. My first vision when smoked the substance was Buddha looking down on me... Smiling. In the course of a couple of months I did several sessions and saw many things, Machine Elves, Pyramids, Hindu Temples, Plant People.
One trip that stuck to me the most (because It happened twice on two separate occasions). I was in a French Kitchen being cooked alive (The World was made with colorful neon lights), the oven felt so warm and pleasant, then I was being served to a Frenchman. As he took first bite, his mustache curled and whispered "The Flesh of the Gods.”
I later on tried LSD, again this time 2 tabs. Everything was fine for most of the trip until I told my brother I want do DMT with it, He responded with "are you sure are going to have ego death" In which the thought of that caused me to have a panic attack give me a bad trip during my come down. Since that day, I rarely do psychedelics and would do DMT once in a blue moon, these days I stick to weed since it's easier to handle and have similar "spiritual" experiences. Let's just say I bit off more than I can chew with psychedelics.

Ah yes, I too remember being 13.
Jesus is God, grow up.

Part 3:
My time with psychedelics did teach me a lot. In my conclusion there is no god(s) and everything is nothing more but the human interpretation and experience in which we pass on these ideas to our future children.
For a long time this new reality was okay for me. However as time passed by I would get this "bodily disconnect" in which I would literally observe everything about my own existence at once. Maybe this is HPPD I would get once every year or so, or something else. Either way It have got me thinking, what is the "truth"? Or if these things are just mental games I just keep playing with myself?
That being said, there is one thing for certain. Ignorance is truly bliss. Still believing in god(s) is actually more ironically a blessing rather than a curse. Everything will seem to be worked out, Morals, ideas, and where you go when you die and how you should see the world around you.
Many would say right now, then why don't you just believe in God(s) again. Well it really does not work that way... Once you bite into the fruit of knowledge, you can't just undo that...

You clearly did not read it.
Also Jesus is interpreted as the son of god.

Hey, so basically I'm just not gonna become an atheist I know...UGH I know it's just I'm not gonna become one is all. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

He is God manifest in the flesh. He is called the Son because he was literally born into the world he made. The Trinity exists for a reason.
>In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word is God John 1 1
>The Word became flesh and dwelt anong us and we beheld his glory the glory of the only Son from the Father, full of grace and truth
You ask what truth is, Jesus said he himself was the truth.
It would if you read what Jesus said about himself and what he required of people. If he was telling the truth, then it is a big deal and affects you. A large portion of the world believes the evidence that suggests he rose from the dead. Have you read the gospel of John? youtu.be/lchB_CEg5VI

Okay cool, You forget to mention that book was written about a 100 years after the supposed event happened. Either way there is no meaning to this conversation if all you're going to do is quote scripture and reference Christian movies. Every die hard Christian I meet always act the same way, never have real 1:1 conversation with me, always preachy and have some weird superiority complex and never down to earth. It's annoying and tiresome.

Hooray more shitty religion/antireligion slide threads.

What do you want to have a conversation about? Tell me about your godless worldview. How do you logically conclude that all of existence just happened to randomly come into existence for no reason or cause and everything is just an accident and you are nothing more than a highly evolved monkey? There is an absolute truth and your impossible worldview cannot logically be true. It doesn't compute that there is no creator. The loving thing for me to do is guide you to the absolute truth and not waste time. It may seem condescending or annoying from your view, but it no different than seeing someone about to jump out of a plane without a parachute thinking he can flap his arms to save himself and yelling at him to use a parachute because flapping his arms is nonsense and will not work.
this looks like some weird obscure Christian cult. I don't cults sorry.

tldr, just trust in god, simple as.

a cult has a technical meaning. i know memeflag is just running cover, but anyone interested especially see: cults rely on hierarchical (ponzi) closed source fidelity (secrets and oaths), in addition to an open source host to parasite off of. gnostic ponzi scheme is the best term to plainly describe our cult situation.
steven anderson seems to have managed to somehow make a christian cult out of purely faith based message, which actually interesting and other aspiring cult leaders might want to study.
fuck me, 3 part blog posts, what a fucking waste of threads and time. Just to say you're gonna float like driftwood until you perish. Like, what was the point of it all?
