Ok i'l look into it

2018-07-21 19:48:34 UTC  

Hey guys, I was wondering if you have a link to Nick's Catholic book list he used for the debate against Styx, or a book that contains a more scientific/historical approach to establishing the existence of Christ and his Resurrection, as well as other things Jesus did in his life on Earth. I am currently a recovering atheist and am looking for a good recommendation regarding that before I delve into Aquinas

2018-07-21 19:50:32 UTC  

I'll probably end up pairing what you guys recommend with Mere Christianity

Not nicks list but here's the christian reading list from /pol/ and /lit/

2018-07-22 00:13:56 UTC  

Cool, so i guess i need to read the bible front to back first, which makes the most logical sense actually, ill google around to see what the most preferred bible translations are for the Catholic Church

2018-07-22 00:19:31 UTC  

@webdevanon everyone has told me to get the douay-rheim bible when i was asking that same question

2018-07-22 00:20:57 UTC  

Awesome man, ill order it tonight, thanks!

2018-07-22 00:25:42 UTC  

no problem, youre welcome

2018-07-27 16:59:45 UTC  

@webdevanon I’ve been reading rsvce because I can’t get through as much of kjv in one sitting, but it’s still good and isn’t missing many messages that I’ve noticed

2018-07-27 17:00:16 UTC  

Just try to read like 10 chapters a day, don’t burn yourself out on it

2018-07-27 17:20:23 UTC  

Any of you lads read the republic?

2018-07-27 17:38:30 UTC  

@Martin_Luther I’ve read some it for school, long book but the ultimate idea of philosopher king shows that monarchy is the most stable form of government

2018-07-27 20:19:24 UTC  

I just finished Cuckservative

2018-07-27 20:19:28 UTC  

A great read

2018-07-27 20:19:45 UTC  

Will look forward to trying to get my boomer dad to read it

2018-07-27 22:03:58 UTC  

@AngloCelticRebel Shit , never thought of Vod day as a good gateway but I think your right

2018-07-27 22:04:35 UTC  

@Metaphysical Monarchist it was thanks to @DeplorablePapa he gave me the idea to use it as its what worked for him

2018-07-27 22:07:44 UTC  

@AngloCelticRebel I always thought you gotta start cucks with Crowder, then Tucker etc but Vox truly is a great starting point for traditionalism/nationalism

2018-07-27 22:25:15 UTC  

>christian reading list doesn't have Nihilism: The Root of the Revolution of the Modern Age
Incomplete

2018-07-28 06:45:43 UTC  

holy shit

2018-07-28 06:45:48 UTC  

why is the bell curve so big

2018-07-28 06:46:39 UTC  

*slaps book* this thing can hold alot of facts

2018-07-28 13:58:43 UTC  

Thank you for the book list

2018-07-31 02:56:24 UTC  

tfw tried reading Evola and its too autistic

2018-07-31 16:35:04 UTC  

boi

2018-07-31 17:35:03 UTC  

Its basically just all occult larping. I didn't try the more political stuff like matr and ride the tiger, but I read all or most of 3 others and his idea of the way the world works is basically just goofy. There are probably fragments of truth here and there in the picture he paints but its really no more than just wacky occult shit once you get past the superficial stuff

2018-07-31 17:53:00 UTC  

@Mephisto Did you read me amongst the ruins?

2018-07-31 17:54:19 UTC  

no but I have it, I decided to take a break and just started on guenon

2018-07-31 17:54:23 UTC  

is Matr better

2018-07-31 17:54:41 UTC  

Haven’t read Matr

2018-07-31 17:54:53 UTC  

Men amongst the ruins is the best imo

2018-07-31 17:55:07 UTC  

About traditionalism

2018-07-31 17:55:19 UTC  

I read the hermetic traditon, like 2/3 or doctrine of awakening and I got half way through Revolt before I decided I was getting much out of it

2018-07-31 17:55:20 UTC  

Connection of people to the land their ancestors settled

2018-07-31 17:55:37 UTC  

Yeah some of his stud is way out there

2018-07-31 17:55:59 UTC  

A bit of Heidegger and Nietzsche is maybe berter

2018-07-31 17:56:17 UTC  

I dunno any Christian philosophers that fit the mood of them Do you?

2018-07-31 17:57:50 UTC  

Men Among the Ruins: Post-War Reflections of a Radical Traditionalist https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/0892819057/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_nmkyBb23F0434

2018-07-31 17:58:02 UTC  

Yeah fundamentally its basically just saying that the perennial truth is that the elite can reach an "unconditioned state" that makes them greater than God and allows them to transcend all abstractions, order/chaos and what not. It also makes you immortal essentially.
Thats his spiritual belief

I've been reading Nietzsche as well, started the Gay Science and I really like it, I've just been reading it slowly.

There's Fr Seraphim Rose who was inspired by Guenon to become Orthodox but I'm pretty sure he wasn't technically in the traditionalist school

2018-07-31 17:58:23 UTC  

and then Coomaraswamy (probably spelling it wrong) was an Indian traditionalist who became Catholic
