I was. baptized by the Catholic Church but never practiced the religion growing up because my Dad is an atheist (he grew up in communist Cuba while religion was banned there).

2017-02-17 21:58:42 UTC  

Welp

2017-02-17 21:59:42 UTC  

He's still pretty based and right-wing (getting shit on by a communist dictator will do that to you), but never saw the point in religion and never took me to church.

2017-02-17 22:00:15 UTC  

Weord

2017-02-17 22:01:23 UTC  

Not really

2017-02-17 22:01:51 UTC  

A lot of people from communist countries or African shitholes tend to be right-wing when they come to the West

2017-02-17 22:02:39 UTC  

I certainly would have never picked Catholicism back up just by paying attention to mainstream American culture. /Pol/ un-ironically made me want to pick the Bible and connect to my religious roots.

2017-02-17 22:03:04 UTC  

same tbh

2017-02-17 22:04:19 UTC  

>baptized and confirmed catholic, lived the faith admirably by all accounts, immediate crisis of faith in the church after confirmation

2017-02-17 22:04:22 UTC  

not yet

2017-02-17 22:05:11 UTC  

>left to figure out what the hell god meant, agnostic to aethist to zen to pagan

2017-02-17 22:05:44 UTC  

Now I can bring the word of Christ to all these godless heathens like my ancestors before me

2017-02-17 22:05:55 UTC  

Nice

2017-02-17 22:05:59 UTC  

Arrived at a "well, he seems like a rather personal thing or person to experience"

2017-02-17 22:06:08 UTC  

Question, who has seen their angel yet?

2017-02-17 22:06:39 UTC  

so i decided to talk to the man rather personally

2017-02-17 22:06:47 UTC  

Now i get visions

2017-02-17 22:06:53 UTC  

How?

2017-02-17 22:07:28 UTC  

>confirmed Michael, I always knew who my patron was

2017-02-17 22:07:32 UTC  

How?

2017-02-17 22:08:10 UTC  

I dunno, I'm a tad worried it's more a symptom of madness than revelation

2017-02-17 22:08:20 UTC  

No, it

2017-02-17 22:08:22 UTC  

Its god

2017-02-17 22:08:27 UTC  

He is giving you the sight

2017-02-17 22:08:49 UTC  

Hopefully, yes

2017-02-17 22:09:11 UTC  

heh

2017-02-17 22:10:19 UTC  

It's been rather muddled in translation, so I got to praying on clarity and somebody up a flight of stairs gave me this

2017-02-17 22:10:33 UTC  

"Put your sword to the cross"

2017-02-17 22:11:34 UTC  

that's the last bit of contact I've had since, so i might have a chance to speak to a priest this weekend

2017-02-17 22:12:40 UTC  

Hopefully a father can help me figure out what the hell that might mean outside of a crusade

2017-02-17 22:14:18 UTC  

Because i have a literal sword in my possession, so the state of the symbolism is rather, y'know, worrisome

2017-02-17 22:15:43 UTC  

>tfw you could either be called to physical battle or the priesthood by God Himself and might even mean both

2017-02-17 22:15:50 UTC  

@Burnside In hoc signo vinces

2017-02-17 22:16:01 UTC  

Inorite?

2017-02-17 22:17:14 UTC  

Anybody else look up the meaning of their full name?

2017-02-17 22:17:22 UTC  

First thing that popped into my mind. A new religious awakening may be upon us.

2017-02-17 22:17:32 UTC  

My parents are of Ibo/Biafran decent

2017-02-17 22:18:03 UTC  

My second name translated to English means "Child born of a free man"

2017-02-17 22:18:09 UTC  

My first name is Michael

2017-02-17 22:18:18 UTC  

"He who is like God"

2017-02-17 22:18:39 UTC  

it's a rhetorical question actually
