recorded in at least 10 other cultures
Else youre a fucking husk
Oh yeah there's definitely moral values embedded in the literature
WHITE HISTORY IS ONE OF SPIRITUALITY
YOU CANT DIVIDE THEM
ya thats all I meant
The whole point of religion is to establish a moral standard
For a stable society you need that
Like it or not christianity is tied to our culture
ATHEISM IS COMMUNISM
Otherwise you get a buch of narcissistic hedonists who lack any culture
ITS A TENET OF COMMUNISM
FUCKING COMMIES
Communism is a religion. It replaces religion which is why it seeks to oppose it
the Bible is the best synthesis of Western/European/White culture and history, including metaphysical/mythological truths starting from Babylonia, to Egypt, to Greece, Rome, Germanic/pagan tribes etc, it is literally our greatest achievement IMO, without it we wouldn't have a concept of a pan-White European race (used to be called Christendom)
yeah exactly communism is a religion , a spiritually void one, it idolozes leaders
Being an atheist doesn't mean you're against religion as a concept. I think it's very helpful to instill proper values in a moral society.
No not necessarily you are right but, most atheists happen to think this
and
Personally I see religion as necessary "training wheels" for moral development
The Christian religion is the highest development of our species, though others are also useful , but religions are not means to an end, they are not "training wheels" for moral development... the reverse is the case, adopting a religious life is the highest of goals, all things like morality, spirituality etc will naturally follow from it
Once you are capable of truly understanding the concepts that religion is meant to represent, it has served it's purpose. What more is there to say of the concept of "God" once you understand why that concept exists and what purpose it serves?
because God is not understandable/comprehensible
you cannot just understand it an move in
on*
you need to constantly communicate daily to not only understand but feel and sense God in all ways
God is not a concept he exists a priori
I dunno, maybe I'm just not on that level, spiritually
I was atheist for over twenty years
but everybody is on a spiritual path
over time some people either go more towards God or against him, for me everything brought me towards Him to the point that I experienced Him very explicitly and believe, if you don't believe in God you cannot really have a clear grasp of his nature (believing in Him will not give you this either but it will clarify it at least a bit)
but
if you don't believe but recognize the value of the tradition, morality, myths, purposes etc
thats good enough just keep following that
Personally I lean towards concepts of Reason and evidence. Things I can grasp in my mind and have a solid foundation in fact. I Fully respect and admire the concept of religiona nd God but personally I've never really "felt" that connection there as others may, so I tend to avoid delving too deep into it
not as good as someone who fully is dedicated to the long term spiritual battle but it's much better than the average person who acts against God
yup that was basically me you are describing too
I never felt him until recently, and then when I did it made me realize all the times in my life I felt him but attributed it to something else
Reason and evidence is good but only for certain things, it's extremely limited
For practical things, it is ideal
