For some reason I don't care what you think

For some reason I feel like the fact that you had to specify that you don't care proves to me that to a certain degree you care

They've ruined society by making everything about sexual identity bullshit, and constantly try to brainwash children and vulnerable mentally ill people into their sexuality cults.
Even if the majority of them don't actually do that, they're still letting it happen knowingly, making them just as guilty.
They all deserve to die in the most horrible ways imaginable.
I still can't believe that Christians have become cowardly enough to let this happen, it's no wonder no one takes them seriously anymore.

I work with a gay, a lesbian, and a tranny. They never go on about their sexuality or gender identity. They're just people living their lives like me.

I specifically states that most of them don't actually do the brainwashing shit, but they're not against it since it benefits them, so they don't speak out against it.

Why should they care? Why should I care? Why do you care? I don't pay attention to the "brainwashing". Maybe you should get off mainstream media.

what do you think of grapplingignorance the youtuber, or theamazingatheist or any atheist youtubers?

I hate theamazingatheist. I think he's a cunt. Never heard of grapplingignorance. I don't watch much atheism stuff except for the Atheist Experience because it's fun to listen to live arguments. They lost their best hosts over some trans rights bullshit though.

Why did you make a thread about being an agnostic while using an Orthodox Christian monk as your picture?

It's a based quote. I don't have anything against most Christians either.

Also sometimes I wish I was a monk, but I'd be Buddhist monk, not a Christian one.

I have studied the sacred scriptures of all the world's major Traditions and I can tell you without a doubt that Buddhism is by far the least interesting. But seeing as how you've admitted to being an "agnostic atheist," I can probably take a wild guess and say you're just another Westerner whose attracted to Buddhism because you want to add a spiritual gloss over your own irreligiousness.

No, it's because it's the least insane and immoral of the major religions.

See, this is how I know I'm right. Because Buddhism comes the closest to agreeing with your presumptions that life, reality and existence have to agree with your modern rationalistic worldview, it feels nice, "sane" and safe compared to the other great Traditions of antiquity.

Do you think the universe is irrational and unable to be understood by humans?

Funny. You share a picture of an orthodox monk saying he longs to be in gods kingdom and not of this world. You should look into orthodoxy

It'd be interesting to learn about it, but I seriously doubt I would convert. I was raised in the most pleb of Christian traditions. Southern Baptist.

I think you're asking the wrong question but yes, I would have to say that life, nature and human experience can't be put in neat little categories by a bunch of Eggheads. Or rather, I think that certain States of being can be understood by the human beings, others can only be understood through transcendent experience while others are beyond human comprehension. I'm saying this because I don't subscribe to a naturalistic view of life where we just presume that the universe is just a bunch of dead matter in flux eventually ending in heat death. Sure, we can understand *aspects* of nature or the universe, but so long as we presume that the sun total of human knowledge and experience has it's totality in naturalistic existence, I think we aren't even close to the heart of the matter.

So which religion do you think is the closest to the truth of reality?

What, do you believe in magic as well?
That's basically what you're implying when you say you aren't a naturalist.

I'm biased because like this user I'm also Eastern Orthodox. However, my background was in perrenial philosophy and Radical Traditionalism. While I could try and attempt to exhortate the Gospels to you, my advice is to find a Tradition that resonates with you but make sure you're getting into it for the right reasons. I would personally suggest looking into Julius Evola and Rene Guenon as excellent primers for going beyond the modern view of life and into the world of Tradition.

Well Buddhism makes the most sense to me from the little I know of it. You don't have to believe in a soul or a god to be Buddhist. Depending on which sect of Buddhism it is, it seems to me to be about finding wisdom in the interconnection of all things and transcending the pettiness of mortal desire.
I'll look into that though.
