Throw yourself off a cliff.

She dated a negro once for a month...

I just hope there is still hope

Ah, so she isn't dating him anymore?

Not as far as I'm aware.

Good, good

👌

@GodFearingEnglishman Does she show interest in being with you?

Well, she actually sends proper messages as opposed to one word answers.

I would look for some excuse to invite her to have dinner somewhere

Just had an African chap buy me a double whiskey from Ghana

If I die tonight pray for me. ❤

Yesterday's divine liturgy of Presancified gifts

@ admins, you should let Immunittty in. He's a chill dude I know IRL

I met a Gnostic today. Hard to believe there's people who believe that swill

I just ate an entire bag of carrots

I've heard the term gnosticism but never understood it, isn't effectively spirituality, like the new age shit

possibly in some contexts, but this guy was legitimately talking about how the demiurge made this material world and that's why it's flawed, and crying that the orthodoxy suppressed them and tried to get rid of their texts

oh, so he is actually retarded

Yes, but also I pity him. He was raised Catholic, but evidently not taught well enough to stick with it, so he said he was actually drifting into agnosticism before an uncle died and he found out that the uncle had secretly been a gnostic for many years. I guess something in it appealed to him. Like the view of a fallen world because it was administered by a flawed emanation of God somehow made more sense than real Christian theodicy.

I pity the part where he didn't learn the answers to his doubts from a legitimate source

I feel somewhat bad now

I think most of gnosticism today is Japan's fault tbh

like, it's always been around, but Japan's views towards Christian tradition are fascinating

They are very much academically fascinated by it, so all kinds of obscure mysticism leaks into their pop culture

and then you end up with shows like Evangelion, which admittedly only uses Gnosticism as an aesthetic

but then people start copying

and then that stuff bleeds into US and therefore world culture through weeaboos in hollywood

and you end up with shows that edgy retarded teenage girls base their made up personal cults on like Supernatural

and then that mixes into popular discourse as "lost knowledge" when really it's been dismissed for over a thousand years as herresy and nonsense

Yeah. The popularity of "witches" and satanism among edgy girls has to be one of the most irritating things on the internet

That's been a thing since the 60s though, when the new age movement legitimized all the late spiritualists of the 50s

the gnostic streak is fairly new, at least removed from early 20th century spiritualism and its impact on stuff like Wicca

the whole wicca and witch thing is depressing to see, my younger sister who was raised as a Catholic has taken a liking to wicca and "practices" it, it upsets me sometimes to see that she rejects the beauty of God's gifts for heresy

It's really just gross to me tbh

like, I deeply appreciate the beauty of nature and all

but it's beautiful like an abstract form of poetry proclaiming the greatness of its Creator

not an object worthy of worship itself

Nature has never done good to man, it is cruel and unforgiving because it is imperfect as this earth

God makes the good in it manifest
