Yes, it’s a whole plot to drive younger generations further away from God, very sad that they eventually triumph due to parents becoming really dumbed down

Do not discuss the truth with those that don’t know the truth, but don’t deny it to those that ask you it, said the wise St. Isaac the Syrian and his words could not be clearer in such times

persecution is goibg to be lit

Yes

If they kill us they will be guaranteeing our salvation

@MawLr
The time will come, but it is still decades away.

There has to be developed a violent anti-christian sentiment, where many believe that without Christians world would be a paradise, so that the persecution begins.

It's not that far from now tbh

It already exists, the sentiment against us

They're all cowards anyway.

They can't have any genuine bravery.

free ticket to heaven (if youre not a pussy)
or you survive to see the susans and martins and cafeteria catholics and other cucks drop out

I can't tell anyone about my beliefs because I don't have enough self-control.

I won't be able to stop myself from beating the shit out of them when their snide responses come.

@TheImperator Tell me how I know you're a tradcat

@Deleted User how

lol

I’d rather die

Indeed a free ticket to heaven

Trying to get martyred isn't how martyrdom works

Yes it is

We all actively seek martyrdom

Except some are pussies

idk im not in a hurry to die

Why not

got a daughter to raise and a house to keep

thats more important

No. Actively seeking martyrdom isn't a thing.

I WISH FOR DEATH

Yes it is, let me find you the person who said it

Okay, maybe 'seeking' it, but intentionally putting yourself in a position to get martyred isn't.

its what happened to ortho church

good times

Actively avoiding martyrdom is dumb

Martyr me and put my bones in an altar uwu

_ Let him be sad there, who sigheth for the enjoyment of the world ? The Christian, even when out of prison, hath renounced the world; but, when in prison, a prison also 14. It mattereth not where ye are in the world, who are without the world : and if ye have lost any of the joys of life, it is a goodly traffic to lose somewhat, that you may gain the more. I say nothing yet of the reward to which God calleth martyrs_ - Tertullian

I am a communist accelerationist 😐

Rapture won't come until the whole world is communist - advocate communism boys

He doesn't say intentionally try to get martyred. That defeats the entire point.

Guess Carthaginian martyrs were clowns then

@MawLr i dont think theres an anti-Christian "plot" necessarily. there may be SOME of that, but theres more to the story. i think for a long time being Christian was the overarching meme in many societies, so that even those who didnt really believe participated in Christianity regardless, or at least believed in God generally, or otherwise were completely subjugated as a result of promoting a different belief.

and you cant discount science. science ultimately amounts to the theories of the physical world that our limited human comprehension has formed based purely on physical evidence. with the enlightenment and the development of the scientific community, many saw reason to doubt the validity of Chrsitianity because Christianity of the past was highly literal in comparison to today's Christianity. for instance, many of you here probably believe in evolution, but are still Christians.

what you have now is a higher proportion of Christians who genuinely believe that Jesus Christ is their lord and savior, generally speaking. there is less fakery, and people are more open about their disbelief because the dominant culture promotes secular reasoning over spirituality.
