        I think the post is intended to tell you to shrug off dogma, while maintaining faith in the message of Jesus Christ.

          your opinions on politics aren't interesting. You aren't better than anyone, as you're like everybody else. Parading one narrative and assuming it holds all the answers, no different from every other so-called iconoclast or reactionary who carries the a set of ideals and expects to be seen as a distinctive lone-wolf who's misunderstood and filled with idiosyncrasies that fill the average npc or whatever you call them with mystery, but no, you're not special, and you try to stray from the herd of sheep by aiming to be as provocative as possible, unaware that you're plan is proceeded by everybody else around you, and I'm referring to you specifically, I'm not taking your personality and boxing into a generalized coterie of people who adopt whatever ideologies or philosophy you associate yourself with, as this is written as an attack on you as an individual.

        All churches are suspect and unnescessary for a relationship with Jesus.
        1 - Believe Jesus is the only way to heaven
        2 - Follow Jesus
        3 - Pray to Jesus
        4 - Read your Bible
        .
        .
        .
        .
        99 - Go to church if you want some community aspect, but be careful, many in the churches have no idea what they are talking about and will lead many astray

    Because it was made in times when people didnt know anything about the world, when they thought that sacrificing 10 virgins will result in good harvest. Now when we know about the world and have explanations for it religion is outdated and not needed.

      well the sacrifices actually worked it's just that it's impossible to find virgins in the West nowadays so we had to downgrade to "science" instead.

    Ascetic ideals are seen as an honorable way to cope with life and existence. Religion can also serve as a moral guide and there's plenty of metaphors in the bible if you look into it deeper.

      Religion isn't inherently bad, but a lot of bad people exist regardless of their beliefs. It's a rally point for manipulation, not to say it's really the one form of manipulation.

    I does make sense, you just don't want to know.
    If you honestly seek the truth, you will find Jesus.
    If you don't want the truth, you will believe any fairytale you desire.

    The actual Bible can be used as the Wikipedia of ancient times.
    >Wtf is appealing about religion?
    Belief in God can serve as a grand motivator, but cults/corrupt clergies will take advantage of this and convince you your new feats in life are only thanks to their support, rendering you codependent on them.
    >None of that shit even makes sense.
    Start reading Genesis and other early stories for genealogy, then read the New Testament for /misc/ IRL.

      Geneology isn't the most important thing
      to understand since Jesus geneology is summed up in Matthew.

      I would ecnourage people to study Messianic prophecies like Psalm 22, Isaiah 35, Isaiah 7:14 as well as the proto Evangelium in Genisis

      Also teophanies and the two powers in heaven.

      Also look up how the life of Jesus mirrors and images the prophets like Adam, Moses and Jonah and how Jesus and the Church is the fullfillment of Passover and Temple Worship

    Well in order you make sense of anything you need a meta-ethical framework in which to interpret it. Religions offer this whereas if you reject God you won't have a basis from which to begin reasoning and you are incapable of making arguments.

    ISAIAH 55
    6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near.

    7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon.

    8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.

    9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.

    PSALM 103
    8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, slow to anger, and plenteous in mercy.

    9 He will not always chide: neither will he keep his anger for ever.

    10 He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our iniquities.

    11 For as the heaven is high above the earth, so great is his mercy toward them that fear him.

    12 As far as the east is from the west, so far hath he removed our transgressions from us.

    13 Like as a father pitieth his children, so the LORD pitieth them that fear him.

    14 For he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.

    ROMANS 4
    3 For what saith the scripture? Abraham believed God, and it was counted unto him for righteousness.

    4 Now to him that worketh is the reward not reckoned of grace, but of debt.

    5 But to him that worketh not, but believeth on him that justifieth the ungodly, his faith is counted for righteousness.

    6 Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works,

    7 Saying, Blessed are they whose iniquities are forgiven, and whose sins are covered.

    8 Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

    ROMANS 10
    8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach;

    9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved.

    One thing that convinced me of Jesus divinity is the unending amount of kvetching you will get just from mentioning his name to israelites.

    If you look away from the social codes embedded in every religion then there is actual utility. These days atheists are very much into "flow states" or transcendental experiences through meditation, sex, drugs and so on. These things used to be practiced by experts who devoted their entire lives to achieving those states permanently. I don't know every religion on the planet, but I find it hard to pinpoint one that does not have rites for fasting, meditation(deep prayer some say) or love. These are things that are often at the base of achieving higher (or altered) states of consciousness.
    If you read philosophy of mind, for instance Dennet who /misc/ borrowed the P-zombie concept from and calling it NPC it becomes clear that people most certainly have different levels of consciousness. Some like Spengler argue that you are in fact able to know your own soul, instead of it being a black void that spits out conscious ideas.
    So if you build on a fundament that there is a base layer you can know and extrapolate it to higher levels of being, or maybe even a superlative level of being, then you might achieve knowledge that is as of yet rationally impossible to prove. Which for all intents and purposes would make it spiritual or religious.
    I can see the appeal in knowing that one has a spirit beyond the material, but I have not yet found anything that could prove that the spirit persists beyond death. Maybe the point for a holy man is not to defeat death, but to make it irrelevant by being in such a way that it doesn't matter. And if that is achievable, then I would certainly join the cult that could provide it.
