Damn bro, nice.

2018-10-08 01:30:50 UTC  

As far as not being a believer goes that doesn't really worry me. Most people aren't. Just go to church anyway. You don't have to lie to anyone just go and listen. Faith comes by hearing and hearing by the word of God.

2018-10-08 01:32:34 UTC  

It would be an implicit lie at a minimum to go through the process of pretending to be a Christian just to get a gf

2018-10-08 01:33:23 UTC  

I don't think it would be that bad to explain to the girl that you are struggling with having faith and want to embrace the sense of community that church offers.

2018-10-08 01:34:50 UTC  

Don't pretend to be a Christian. Go to church, listen, and take part in the community. Tell people what you are doing and why. Tell them you haven't been able to establish good relationships and that even though you aren't a believer you thought church would be a good place to start.

^(don't say that IRL)

I suppose. I made a real effort at converting last fall. Tried praying every night and whatnot. Never felt anything. To be fair, I didn't go to a physical church, but I didn't have a car either

2018-10-08 01:37:07 UTC  

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN - I'm glad for you either way. Seems like you're pretty excited about this girl. If you're struggling or something feel free to reach out, whether for advice or just someone to listen. I've recently had a rather devastating split with a girl, and helping out other guys is really something that's made me feel better about it all.

2018-10-08 01:38:47 UTC  

@Aleis⊕ccidentalis Thanks. And I'm sorry to hear that. It's been about a year since my last break up. I'll keep you in the loop!
Although I haven't talked to this girl too much recently. She might be dumb. I hope not! Let's find out.

@TMatthews I think you are looking at it the wrong way. You shouldn't be trying to "feel" something. God is in everything so trying to feel his presence is like a fish trying to feel wet. Participate in the fellowship of believers and you will see positive outcomes in your life.

2018-10-08 01:41:46 UTC  

Also these things take time. For some of the saints it took entire lifetimes to rationalize their faith.

2018-10-08 01:42:17 UTC  

Let's try to keep this thread on courtship in relation to church and not a theological discussion.

2018-10-08 01:42:17 UTC  

@Der Seeteufel - SD I think this is a widespread thing. People expect to see a vision or feel a voice. I dont' know if it's the media conditioning, or just shitty pastors, but it's a 'missing feeling' I've also dealt with.

2018-10-08 01:42:31 UTC  

@Attrition in the desert Understood. Sorry.

2018-10-08 01:45:03 UTC  

Ok. My advice for courtship is as follows. Step 1. Go to church. Step 2. Meet trad GF. Step 3. Trust God will take care of things. Step 4. At least 7 kids. (I'm going for 8)

2018-10-08 01:45:04 UTC  

I'm not even sure where I'd go to find a trad church. I've met girls through college republicans, but it's fair to say conservative doesn't really describe them in their personal lives. I guess that's to be expected when you're at a college in the northeast

2018-10-08 01:46:29 UTC  

@Der Seeteufel - SD Lofty goals. Good luck though. Always good to have more IE babies

2018-10-08 01:47:12 UTC  

@TMatthews I'm told the go-to are SSPX catholic, Orthodox, and Confessional Lutheran.

2018-10-08 01:47:54 UTC  
2018-10-08 01:48:11 UTC  

SSPX aren’t Catholic

2018-10-08 01:49:09 UTC  

@SamanthaM I don't have any experience with them, I just hear about them on Fatherland and Godcast 😑

2018-10-08 01:52:46 UTC  

@SamanthaM Thanks, I'll read up on them.

2018-10-08 02:07:10 UTC  

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN. Normal Catholic works too and there are a lot more.

2018-10-08 02:07:42 UTC  

But my recommendation to meet people outside of church is to take night classes

2018-10-08 02:08:02 UTC  

I'm partial, of course, since I met my wife at one

2018-10-08 03:57:03 UTC  

What does Trad mean to you guys?

2018-10-08 03:57:21 UTC  

Barefoot and pregnant

2018-10-08 03:57:33 UTC  

That’s it?

2018-10-08 03:57:42 UTC  

oh and IN THE KITCHEN

2018-10-08 03:57:51 UTC  

I was mostly using it in the memtic sense.

2018-10-08 03:57:56 UTC  

okay shitposts aside

2018-10-08 03:57:59 UTC  

I think you mean “hobbled” and pregnant.

2018-10-08 03:58:28 UTC  

Well, I’m asking seriously.

2018-10-08 03:58:39 UTC  

Trad is an odd word that holds many connotations

2018-10-08 03:58:44 UTC  

At this point: not pozzed, not coalburned, wants kids and willing to take second-in-command when needed is good enough for me.

2018-10-08 03:59:06 UTC  

Although a good husband recognizes when his wife does know more.

2018-10-08 03:59:45 UTC  

What I generally mean when I use "Trad" is: Things that are generally tradition, but not explicitly, good for society essentially.

2018-10-08 04:00:03 UTC  

Sometimes I think a pro-white hippy would suit me more. But they seem even rarer.

2018-10-08 04:00:25 UTC  

No sex before marriage, no race mixing, actually try to be in it for life
