How do you just "get" a religion? I don't know how to have faith without evidence

^^^^^^^^

I wish i had the answer to that. I wish I could have faith. But the faithful are adamant that I am "choosing" my own atheism as much as they are choosing their faith

Actually Christianity has an answer for that question. Romans 10:17 "So then faith cometh by hearing, and hearing by the word of God." I would encourage you to go to church even if you don't believe. The ritual of having a specific set time and day every week where you engage socially with a community is good for you regardless.

^^^I agree with this. If I could find a relatively close church that isn't pozzed I'd attend

Look for Confessional Lutheranism. Missouri, Wisconsin, or preferably if you have one nearby CLC Lutheran. I'm CLC Lutheran my pastor knows I'm in IE and thinks it's great.

It's also how I met my girlfriend who is so trad she has literally never worn pants and her favorite song is Edelweiss from "The Sound of Music".

She plays the harp bro! In a sailor dress bro!!!

Also she has a sister.

I have tried to feel both Christ as well as pagan gods, and I never feel anything. I can't believe anything. I'm willing to go through the motions in the hopes something clicks. But the only pagans around are fat leftists, and the only Christians around are universalist, Israel-slave, football-player worshiping cucks.

I tried praying this summer while out in the woods.

^^^^yep my feelings exactly

I don't want to countersignal or insult those with faith. I fully acknowledge I am the defective one.

Society is better with a healthy faith.

I think a big problem with America is diversity of religion. It makes having one cohesive church impossible, but I don't have any problem with someone "church shopping" lots of Christians are pozzed straight to hell, and I mean that literally, but there are still lots of based Christians too. You just have to find us.

@Der Seeteufel - SD I listen to the Godcast (lol and Helicopter Mom). I thought about an Orthodox Eastern church, an hour away.

Catholic churches are pretty much just Mexican here. Not a lot of Irish or Italians.

A problem I have @Der Seeteufel - SD is that Christians have actively told me that they do not want non believers attending, especially if they have somekind of agenda, and all they have to do is google my name to find out what my true feelings are.

Thank you Charlotesville

I'd be constantly trying to make darwinism fit into the frame, not taking every scripture literally, and for liberal churches counteracting that stuff too

Well then they suck. Like I said my pastor knows I'm in IE and that I was at Charlottesville. He doesn't see any conflict that could affect my faith.

My own step father has studied the scriptures his whole life and said he would compare Identitarianism to a cult or masonry, and therefore incompatible

The comparison with masonry usually stems from the fact that it is a pseudonymous group which aims to acheive power. I see the resemblence.

We're probably dipping to deep into a religious discussion for the being single channel.

Yeah we do have an unofficial religious server where most members are IE

It's weird that we want a society where elders are heeded, but our "elders" (boomers) are anomalous sabatague against all tradition, and therefore, a liability.
Care for and honor, sure. But they need to have power taken from them.

@ThisIsChris could you send me an invite?

I think what we want is not neccessarily elders heeded but rather *tradition* heeded

yep just a sec

I'm a voting member of my church and will eventually be an elder. In order to get there though I had to start from the bottom. To try to redirect this back to a conversation about being single I think that sometimes we tend to think more about the ends than the means. You can't introduce yourself to a girl with a marriage proposal. You have to be willing to start small and be patient.

Very true. Putting cart before horse is a problem for the very intelligent as well as the identitarian, i.e. ethnostate speculation when most white people aren't pro-white...

What if you’re 🅱agan

Good luck finding a pagan gf lol

Hard to even find pagan guys to hang out with much less a pagan girl who isn't a whale

@Sherlock Sad but true. For every Blonde Buttermaker there are 33 bluehair, fat, leftist wiccans

Haha yeah the struggle is real

Very good points.

Well put, my big issue is that I have trouble striking up conversations with strangers without feeling like a creep
