Short answer: Yes

Long answer:
Throughout most civilisations in history, religion has served as the necessary moral glue to hold the social fabric together. A common argument atheists tend to point out is that ‘You can be moral without being religious’. Technically, yes you can. But there isn’t a moral force there to ensure you behave as such. When people become the gods of their own lives, they are able to redefine what is moral to them. It’s not uncommon to hear the whole “I believe in my truth” nonsense these days. As a result, adultery, abortion, poor parenting, wedlock births, drug use, and alcohol abuse have only continued to rise further and further. A larger slice of the population now have no real passion or drive to accomplish things that are beneficial to both their person and society more broadly. The malaise and apathy that result from this have resulted in higher rates of depression and co-morbid mental disorders, as well as a rise in suicides. So while an individual *may* be able to go on fine without religion, society tends to suffer without it.

no lol, i’m a guy

do you really expect any 21st century woman you’ll meet on discord to have the same opinions as me

@ComradeChaos If you don't mind my asking, is it fair to assume you are a Christian? If so, do you belong to a particular denomination?

It isn't the place of the average person to selectively choose which portions of the moral system prescribed by God they will observe or not observe, for the same reason that an average citizen cannot choose which laws they will or won't follow without consequences.

If a man chooses to pursue hubris over humbleness and obedience, he very well can, but it will only result in his deep lack of satisfaction with life and his distance from God's love after death.

Behind the façade of moral posturing and arrogance, I've encountered few, if any godless people who are genuinely happy or satisfied with life. It must suck to exist in this mortal plane when you've made yourself the god of your own world.

You'll also encounter those who talk in psychobabble and other forms of retard speak, but that shouldn't be misconstrued for intelligence or depth of knowledge.

Few genuinely godless people have a sincere, sophisticated understanding of the world around them. They rely on the internet for their self-worth.

Agnosticism is categorically different from godlessness, uncertainty isn't hubris or arrogance.

"What? You're telling me I should recognise there is a purpose greater than serving my own selfish interests?"

Yes.

@Ater Votum I’m not so sure you’ve got room to be talking about profile pictures. Also, this is completely unrelated to the topic.

I’ve noticed in talking with Luciferian believers that there tends to be three main contentions they make:
1. The Christian/Catholic God is the actual God of evil
2. Satan (Lucifer) is in fact the benevolent God
3. Christianity/Catholicism is opposed to natural law, unlike Luciferianism

I’ve yet to see any of these three contentions properly justified. Aside from a couple little movements from the 12th through the 14th centuries that got quashed by the Papacy, Luciferianism has hardly existed in its current state for a century, let alone nearly two millennia. The majority of its justifications seem to be based on a “Well *actually*, our God is good and yours is bad” philosophy, which is wholly unconvincing to anyone outside of the faith (seriously, when will they learn to not take this stupid angle?)

When considering the reality that Luciferianism hasn’t existed in an era before the Industrial Revolution, it is a definitively New Age belief, and consequently is entirely synthetic in composition. This goes for most occultist movements. Many of those that follow these movements appear to simply want something different from Christianity, but they’re rather unfortunately gaslit into believing in all sorts of insane nonsense, like witchcraft or the craze over essential oils. Regardless, as these nonbelievers continue to rise, they do pose a threat to Christendom and the possibility of a return to normalcy and sanity in the future.

*imagine* being a pagan and a national socialist

Also, if you're going to use chink religion to justify your belief in paganism as a western man, that's retarded @ComradeChaos

Couldn't care less about Taoism

The religion of any Western civilisation worth preserving is Christianity, not your Nordfag neopaganism or Celtoid wicca shit

literal barbarian faith

you're a latinoid, holy fuck

your existence is a cope

imagine having your race fucked into existence by catholic spaniards

<:pepejoy:669568052106625044>

"g-g-guys we're r-real aryans I swear"

what a joke

maybe if you stopped huffing gas exhaust and went to church once in a while you wouldn't be wasting your time coping @ catholics on discord dot ccom

meanwhile your psychobabble buddy is too busy talking about "agapé" and muh natural law to make a lick of sense

as if we should behave like a batch of screeching apes instead of practicing reservation and austerity because "it's unnatural"

what a fucking joke

<:Pray:669316069772623882>

@Koninos oh nice, you're a libertarian? When can I fuck your wife?

<:smuge:636699187429244949>

trying to use the etymology of pagan to claim that anti-paganism is anti-nationalism is ignorant at best and purposefully dishonest at worst.

Lest we forget that Franco, Salazar, Dollfuss, Mussolini, and the Ustase were all directly supported by the Catholic Church.

Or that most of the early DAP/NSDAP members were Bavarian Catholics.

So if you're a natsoc/fashoid and still believe the Church is somehow anti-nationalist, you may want to rethink your understanding of the relationship between the two.
