Would it be impossible for me to comfortably convert to any of the mainstream Christian denominations (Orthodoxy, Catholicism, and Protestantism)? Should I just go with Christian Deism like Thomas Jefferson did? I've been confused about this sort of thing most of my life.

>inb4 christcuck
Think for a moment. How many people in Germany, Sweden, and other "cucked" countries are actually practicing Christians? Exactly. Pagans need not apply.

well i mean the flood literally actually did happen
even the chinese carry this particular folk story

Where did all the water go?

>Can't get over the extraordinary claims made
it's called a "shit test", and you failed. if you believe you are owed a spoonfeeding, stay in your r/atheist bubble and accept that niggers are better than you (just like the leading scientific establishment says).
you dont get to have your cake and eat it too.

Catholicism and Orthodox is the only true Christianity - it's the original and we've carried on the same traditions from the original followers of Christ. Most serious Catholic apologists believe in a localized flood and if you study the Bible you'll learn a lot of Genesis is superlative or metaphorical and was intended by such by a culture that wrote that way a study a norm, as opposed to the straight history of the New Testament.

it froze? idk but there are way too many accounts of a huge flood from cultures that never had contact with each other.

>read more theory
>it's not my job to educate you

Also, Thomas Jefferson was foolish; as C.S. Lewis pointed out, following Jesus but ignoring the miracles misses the whole point. If Christ was not God, His morals are no better than some coomer's on this forum. And if He was not the Lord, He was lying and not a good man.

Look into Catholicism / Orthodoxy and read some serious apologetics like Peter Kreeft, I beg you.

I was raised Christian and still struggled with some of this stuff. Eventually, I realized I was being arrogant by assuming I, or anyone else was even capable of fully understanding the inner workings of existence and consciousness. All the big questions. The scientific community makes some pretty out there claims too, but because they wear lab coats instead of robes people blindly trust their cosmologies and anthropologies without question. Faith is a gift from the Holy Spirit, not something you can logic your way into. Partaking from the Tree of Knowledge in a vain attempt to be like God is what made us fallen. Trust that Christ has redeemed you and already paid the price for your sins. That’s the key. Try to be humble, that’s my advice to you as you set out on this path.

You can either pretend and stay sane or brainwash yourself into believing.
Your choice.

>pretend
why are you such a terrified little bitch?why dont you just be truthful and accept the consequences instead of conniving everyone else into liking you?

Because they won't change their mind and I won't mine.
It's a dead end.
Proof: the endless slew of religious "debates" over the past millennia. And no one is the wiser.
Only charlatans convert people, and I'm not a charlatan.

I grow on religious family, i got my name from the bible
I used to be sunday school boy but over the years i stray from Jesus and at this point, i laugh when people say they believe in God
But one thing i know about Christianity
Just put your trust in Jesus, user
You didn't need other people judgment on your belief
Faith is between you and God

>Because they won't change their mind and I won't mine.
and what part of that means that you are owed a place in their hearts and minds? if you cant reconcile yourself with others, fuck off and find a group of similarly retarded faggots so that you dont have to lie about what you believe.
it's called "being a man", but given how much you love to take advantage of others via lies, i dont think you'll ever understand it.

Because I don't judge people on their learned beliefs, they usually make up a very small part of someone's personality. Usually none at all.
So please fuck off with your pretend outrage.
If being a man is screeching about your dogmatic beliefs then tranny activists must be the manliest of all.

Pray to God that you want to know him, grab a Bible and ask him to speak to you through it, and talk to him. Then be silent a couple of minutes a day listening for him. I can't say what he'll say or when, but he will respond to that. Those who earnestly seek him will find him and once you start hearing him, it'll be life changing.
I say this as a former coomer who's been around the world since finding him and seen a good number of miracles, including healings.

believe in the Lord Jesus Christ and you shall be saved

It was a semi believable larp until OP revealed what a shitbag she is.

you have two choices. accept these stories as true fact (if you think the flood is bad it gets even more wacky) or accept them as stories to learn morals and ideals from, not as the truth.

>niggers are better than you (just like the leading scientific establishment says).
There's zero science that subjectively assigns values to race. Only untreated mental patients with inferiority complexes do this.

>untreated mental patients
guess what retard: posting here makes you the "untreated mental patient" according to authorities on mental health. the people you are accusing of being "untreated mental patients" are usually on a plethora of psychoactive pharmaceuticals, which means they are innately more stable than you according to the people in charge of defining and applying the concept of "mental health" for the gentile public

Breh its not that hard. Wise men wrote a book centuries ago to guide their tribe of sheep/goat herders. That's what was available at the time-if you were around back then there wasn't much else. Just extrapolate what they did back then to what you should do now. The world (west) is being flooded right now by third worlders, culture clashes will split our Babylon apart.

Well, I do believe there is something out there protecting us and pulling the strings, but, I do not believe in edgy bs meant to drill fear into kids for the rest of their lives
Take a look at pic related, many agree the current sacred texts like the bible you see is heavily fabricated and actually draws you further from the truth

>autism
Most people believe silly shit, and will despise you if you don't do the same.
Evidence only works on a minority.

Honesty is a luxury, if you don't conform naturally, then you're gonna have to lie a little bit to survive.

Focus on the New Testament. Jesus Christ is there for you. I was an edgelord atheist for most of my life. A few years ago, I realized that a higher power exists. For me, it's Jesus.

If you want to be a christian then just do the unthinkable and follow the actual teachings of Yesus. Like his actual words. Like noone does nowadays.

Go back further, to what your Aryan ancestors believed in - Buddhism.

Seems like you're the one being a dramatic queer getting angry over me getting along with people.

>there are way too many accounts of a huge flood from cultures that never had contact with each other.
There were dozens of major floods triggered by unrelated causes thousands of years apart in vastly separated geographic regions. There was never a global flood while modern humans walked the earth

Yes, you can chose one of 30,000 protestant denominations. Those guys just pick and chose whatever belief suits them best.

>learned
>beliefs
You can seriously only pick one

This, keep seeking and you will find. Keep knocking and the door will be opened

>>learned
>>beliefs
All beliefs are learned.
The fuck are you implying?

>guess what retard: posting here makes you the "untreated mental patient" according to authorities on mental health.
Are you an authority on mental health? Or just another untreated patient? Yas Forums is meant to be anti-social media.

houston was severely flooded from a hurricane in 2017 and they were dry within a month

Wtf the flood is part of mainstream science retard

Imagine being this ignorant.

conniving and lying to those you take advantage of will not achieve this no matter how delusional you are. what you are is a pussy. grow up and move on if you hate the people who love you enough to lie about your core beliefs to secure that false love.

It gets worse from there. Religion is just a spook.

Maybe you should meet up with a priest or a pastor and have a heart to heart talk.

Here's my advice. You're a burger, orthodoxy is for Greeks and slavs, US Catholicism is mostly Mexican, Italian and Irish. The rest of the whites seem to be prodie, calvinist, methodist etc.
Mass had always been a way of getting the community together and not much else for a while. Go with whatever heritage you are. Never really believed in the bible 100%, especially the old testament. Just maintain the faith and basic tenets so the globohomo commies don't win.

>Are you an authority on mental health?
No. I have just read the relevant parts of the DSM-V.
>Or just another untreated patient?
Well, I post here and I don't worship at the altar of materialist atheism, so according to the DSM-V....

Considering the earth is over 70% water, I'd say it's still here

>being polite
>burger loses his shart because I'm lying to him
I for one welcome our new insectoid overlords.

This is what's wrong with you. You cannot separate conniving behavior from "politeness" because you think life is about appearances rather than principles.
Just like a nigger, you would rather "look good" and lose everything than seem mean and win something. Your mother is likely responsible for what a half-man you are.

Your about the most honest Christian I have seen on here over the years and if more of them acted like you instead of trying to shove their ideas down everyone else's throats a lot fewer atheists would be smug assholes twords them.

I don't care what anyone believes, heck you could tell me I'm a dinner and doomed to the oh no bad place forever and I won't bat an eye. The problem I do have is with people larping as Christians on here posting the various parts of their holy book that everyone just skims past anyhow and who lack any conviction whatsoever. If your such a godly individual what the fuck are you doing here? Stop acting like your God is so important when you are not willing to sacrifice the slightest bit of comfort you have for him. There is literally nobody on this planet that is unaware of your religions message, if you are trying to convince anyone here your wasting time you could be actually doing good works in honor of your God. Go donate time at a homeless shelter or soup kitchen, maybe go to a retirement home and brighten some old bastards day, if your really serious about spreading the word sell all your worldly goods and go do missionary work in some shit hole country. Hanging around here fighting with other beliefs is only masterbation for your ego

An exhaustive explanation as to why we know a global flood did not happen.

youtube.com/playlist?list=PLXJ4dsU0oGMJP95iZJqEjmc5oxY5r6BzP

Most Christians do not take that story literally, as of today, either. Just some (admittedly most) American Evangelicals.

>I don't care what anyone believes
>accuses others of lacking conviction
nice wall of text for such an enlightened redditor.

The flood wasnt rain you tard. It was a polar shift. When the polls shift, the crust loses its magnetic attachment to the mantel causing it to stand still relative to the earths rotation. The atmosphere and oceans dont get the memo and inertia carries the whole of the ocean across the continents at 1000mph. It all settles back in to basins or freezes in a couple weeks.

This is how ice sheets form and things like the grand canyon are carved. This is how fossils from bottom feeders end up on mountain tops. Every culture globally tells this story because it happens periodically.

>Can't get over the extraordinary claims made, like the whole world flooding
Don't fall for the "muh to absurd" meme, this is the same retarded mindset that the (((they))) try to implement into the public consciousness so they could ostracize the conspiracy theories, even the more tame ones. Did you ever saw one of those crazy tinfoil people? They want you to think that all of conspiracy theorist are like them. Pic related.

If someone tells me I'm a dinner and doomed I'm going to prepare them a good, quick meal, because it sounds like they're considering cannibalism :)

It's not the stories, personally. It's the... quiescent supernatural entity. I want to meet an angel, any angel, and I am not speaking metaphorically. I want the fate of my soul to be worth some discussion. I want religion with informed consent.

I kind of did, in an apparent hallucination when I was 4. A winged angel handed me a pen and a clipboard with a "customer satisfaction survey" on it, and then vanished when I handed back the filled out form. (My handwriting was abominable, but I was a precocious reader.) That feels like it happened in a different lifetime now. Anyways, it wasn't a very informative interaction, though I've never forgotten one of the questions on the form and how I answered it.

The extraordinary claims I'm comfortable accepting as stories; I don't consider their truth values salient enough to judge.

>How many people in Germany, Sweden, and other "cucked" countries are actually practicing Christians?
Tons of cucked German christians and Swedes who go to church regularly to be told by their foreign and female priests to be more accepting of marxist viewpoints and nigger rapefugees.

whole world has flooded twice... this is a legit thing lol

>>Can't get over the extraordinary claims made, like the whole world flooding
Start with Christ. Anything else is at least telling you something about the nature of God, at most, literally true.

Worry about getting over a dead man rising to life again. The world flood doesn't strictly have to be adhered to after that, but you're in a different ballpark if you're already conceding divine intervention and resurrection.

In short, AT LEAST pick your grievances to what is doctrinally core to Christianity. Talking snakes/donkeys, etc. Literally irrelevant if Jesus didn't rise from the dead. All else could be true, but if Jesus is not the living God then there is no Christianity.

>>Can't get over the extraordinary claims made, like the whole world flooding

All people have the myth of a world-wide flood. It sound extraordinary, but God itself is extraordinary.
Read the epic of gilgamesh

There is. Your dumb ass wouldn't know.

Never been on that fag site in my life honestly, nice deflection though

What are you even talking about.
You're literally angry that people won't thoughtlessly accept bullshit, or come up with even more bullshit rationalizations.

Yeah I'm fag phone posting the autocorrect bullshit happens

OP, Do you even know what that fucking image is from?

The world flooding is the claim you can't believe? I'm not even a christian and I'm pretty sure that did happen. what about everybody in genesis living to like 900 years old? I think that's one of the more strange claims.

Many options
1. Its all underground, the rocks are porous
2. Expanding earth theory.
3. If you have to ask 'where did it go' you have already passed the question of 'where did it come from?' If according to the bible there was dry land prior to the flood, then all that water had to come from somewhere. Accepting this means it was just hacked in by god abusing the GM powers, and so clearly could have just been removed afterwards as well
4. actually a story about space travel, the water is space
5. lol idunno

Hey man, well if you want to legitimately learn about the Old Testament and why these extraordinary claims are made in their original context, then watch these courses, given by a tenured Yale professor, youtu.be/mo-YL-lv3RY

There is a lot that draws on what does not speak to us anymore. Stories such as the flood are metaphorical in nature meant to bring ideas together of how different God was from other gods. Please watch all 24 lectures, extremely educational

It could have all been frozen as glaciers. did you think of that?

>le epic self-absorbed pseudointellectual elitism
Lolm8
No matter what you believe, most people must be wrong.
There's no need to feign humility, only Christians and liberals demand pointless self deprecation.

>like the whole world flooding
You do know there actually was a global flood right? Like that was one of the things that got me back into Christianity.

>Catholicism
BEGOME GADOLIC.
Protestants are schismatics by their own name which actually annoyed them so much they had to change their names so people stopped calling them out on it. The Catholic Orthodox schism is more complicated since they were always technically to different Churches established by different Apostles united by Jesus in the Catholic Church. Popes claim is legit by the way it wasn't the Greeks who put Jesus on his throne and crowned him it was the Romans.

But no actually believing is not required to be Baptized and join the faith some of our best Saints went half their life being openly against the Church. It is to be expected you wouldn't accept the claims most of it is probably demonic influence you are not aware. I'll pray for you user.

Yeah it's like the Tower of Babel never happened. Almost like the Whore of Babylon Globalism is working really hard to undermine the faith like the Revelations of John said would happen.

By the Way Globalism is the Whore of Babylon the sin of Babylon was uniting the World Into one Nation and trying to be like gods. Which is why God punished them by creating different languages and races and spreading them all over the world. Globalism is the Whore of Babylon and Babylon the Great is the Globalist World.
