I proved my point that the Catholic Church has degenerated

You haven't lmao

i dont like that the head of the catholic church is a man

It's a vestigial organ left over from the Holy roman empire @Ater Votum

Aka fake Rome

ok

jesus is also the head of the orthodox church so better for me

The catholic church is mystical, what do you think catholic means?
Institutions posing as the church has degenerated and has always been degenerate
We can deduce by the very fact that heretics can't become popes, that people posing as popes aren't popes, but just people posing as popes
So simple

Catholic means universal

yes exactly, alongside this its in the magisterium

>>Institutions posing as the church has degenerated and has always been degenerate

Wow it's almost like I'm completely justified in making my own church away from the pedophiles and reprobates

Lol

no you're stil mistaken even though you reject something one should reject

you're a pagan dude

And Catholicism absorbed pagan philosophy as a means of bolstering their own metaphysics. Have you looked into hermeticism at all yet?

No nor am i gonna lol

You asked for it like a week ago

Not wasting my time unironically researching paganism

yeah i was interested for like 5 minutes

I figured you might want to know where the system of natural law that Catholics use came from

okay, so Hermeticism and Catholicism are both foundationally premised upon the ability to use logos as a means of understanding and predicting reality. Hermeticism tells you how to be good but being good isn't implicit in the faith. The ultimate truth of God is that his power is what allows for him to be an arbiter of morality and nothing else, so morality is dictated by power but the consequences are not

Hermeticists are supposed to promote the existence of our species and existence overall.

Sometimes creation is fueled through the promologation of suffering and passion: Doing nothing is the equivalent to fading away.

destruction is the first part of creation

Death is the final step before birth

Same principle: every man and woman is a star: and stars explode into stardust which become new stars

the eternal cycle

Yup

tbh its one of if not the most beautiful thing that exists

Talking about Hermeticism? Cool.

Life is poetry in motion: sometimes the depths of suffering are beautiful and provide us with meaning that motivates us to move on.

suffering is struggle and struggle is the engine of life

@Greg Noir It can be a bit difficult with the Christians because they generally just tend to ignore me. But yeah

"christians"

Oh.

I wanted to read about Hermeticism because I learned it was a continuation of the Egyptian religion.

sorta

not the religion as a whole but the philosohpy

From what I can gather it's a Greek system based on Babylonian and Egyptian metaphysics
