Ive been an atheist my whole life and I'm about to join a church out of spite.
I'm pretty sure that's a sin.
Hey, if it gets you in the door. A young C. S. Lewis aggressively studied Christianity to disprove it before coming to the conclusion he couldn't.
"Mere Christianity" by C.S. Lewis converted me virtually overnight despite being raised militantly atheist my whole life.
I'm a White man and the last five years have turned me from a Berniebro into the most reactionary person in existence. I just wanted to play video games.
You might be surprised at the number if atheists and agnostics who go to church and treat it like a social club. It's still the center of community in many towns.
As ridiculous as it sounds, I know the feeling.
A lot of online "tradcaths" you see nowadays are like this. Literal reactionaries (which is perfectly understandable)
“Reactionary” has never made sense to me. Progressives reacted first. They saw society and decided it had to change. Conservatives simply disagreed, and yet they were branded the reactionaries?
When they say "reactionary" like that it's victim-blaming from communists. You're supposed to stoically take it like a bitch instead of reacting in any way such as shouting or screaming in pain. Stop hitting yourself.
My spite isn't strong enough to go catholic or orthodox (yet). But from what I've seen evangelical churches tend to be really welcoming but still based (the ones that don't have women running things, anyway).
I’d be careful. Because Protestant churches have rejected an authority to interpret scriptures for them, they can read and interpret whatever they want into the text and “as long as it sounds good” it’s valid. This is why you see Protestant churches with rainbow gay pride flags, women in charge, and all other sorts of deviancy.
The Catholic Church has its faults, trust me I’m not a cradle Catholic and converted recently, but it’s leagues better because at least they state unequivocally that homosexual sex is a sin, regardless of “love” being present. I’d recommend listening to Pints with Aquinas (it’s a podcast) or feel free to hit me up and I’ll be more than happy to discuss!
ty, I would certainly vet the church and have a sitdown with whoever is running the show an asking some questions
and rejecting any that had women in positions of authority
I’d also encourage you to not take many anti-Catholic arguments at face value. America was founded by Protestants, so they had a bias that ran deep and it’s still observable.
Do your own research, ask questions, talk to folks. The Lord will seek you out if you start making the first steps. I was an atheist and found a copy of Thomas Aquinas’ summa theologiae left behind in a house I was renting. Read through a few pages as a joke, but the depth there was immense and I felt myself being drawn back. A few years later and now I’m a Catholic, and my wife is undergoing RCIA to join me. The Church has its share of problems, but the depth of thought, the beauty, and everything else was immense.
Bright side is Christianity believes in forgiveness
It's always the same group that has to compromise, Christians, Whites, Males, Heterosexuals, etc. vs whatever opposition, Muslims, Blacks, Females, Homosexuals etc. It's only one way. This is why you can't have diversity, the vocal (violent too ultimately) minority, has to be appeased and you end up losing your identity and rights, because you practicing you're religion, your existing is somehow an affront to them and their existence. this is why we had separate countries. Democracy is mob rule. We have to stop touting it as a virtue, just like diversity. Trying to maintain the narrative of democracy and "colorblindness" is just Conservatives wasting time and energy on folly, when they could actually work towards saving the west.
It’s the tyranny of the intolerant minority. It’s how Muslims can force an entire community to go halal. In the end, something has to give. Either the majority is thoroughly cucked and broken, or they grow a spine and tell the minority to fuck off. When the latter happens, leftists claim oppression. But if a White dude goes to an Arab country and demands accommodation, no one on the left even flinches when he gets decapitated.
wasn't there a dude in Dubai or somewhere that got jailed for farting when he helped a woman with her luggage?
The constitution says the government cannot establish a state religion.
It's supposed to protect the church from the state not the other way around. I'm sure the guys who held church service in congress every Sunday were mega atheists
The federal government cannot establish a state religion. Some individual states had state religions into the mid nineteenth century.
They can’t. they take that line from a letter insuring a woman of one smaller Christian denomination that the government was not going to establish a state religion like the Anglican Church in Britain and discriminate against her belief system.

Lol
I wonder what Reddit post first said this that they all started parroting it.
Much in the same way "alt-right" and "nazi" is thrown around to slap a label on anyone who is slightly to the right of Mao in ideology or to dehumanize anyone who is a detractor to the woke religion. There are no traditional Liberals left, because the wokies have already branded and shunned them.
He's a Viking looking neo-hippy who would like everyone to, like, just get along, dude.
The more important thing is how Christians are now actually oppressed in "the industry" in America, and I'm saying it a long time fedora enthusiast.
the more i see shit like this the more i think my old man was right "son, speak softly but carry a big stick"
