So been seriously thinking of joining Catholicism.
I've always been more pragmatic towards existence. I've never been opposed to religion, but never would have embraced it.
But these past few months I've had this...voice (lacking a better word) telling me to get baptised. Now religion seems like a good idea to me.
What does /b/ think?

let me give you a basic gestalt
>>723121913
Jesus was black

JESUS wants your semen for breakfast in heaven
>>723122006
Profound!
i think thats a dumb idea
but i cant stop you
>>723121913
baptize yourself in blood and dedicate yourself to the antichrist
your soul will be spared in the coming oblivion
>>723122006
>>723122311
Jesus is from Christianity.

I just don't get confessing your sins to another man (priest). Shouldn't that shit be between you and the Man?
>>723123132
Well that depends on who you are confessing for. The priest is just a symbol. The act is what matters.

Three months ago I would have agreed.

It seems people who are open to it get the urge to become baptized, and you're not the first I've seen experience this. I'd say attend a few services and then decide. However I do hope you convert.

what changed?
>>723122006
Logic is limited by ones ability to communicate it. Humans don't even have the most complex language on the planet.

That's what I thought too. IDK its hard to explain, but I feel much more drawn to it than ever. its like a 180, it puzzles me when I think about it.
>>723123258
That's true, but their belief is that the priest has the power to absolve sin. I don't think that's the case.
>>723123757
Nothing. That's the thing. One night out of the blue it just started saying..."get baptised". I was like wtf?
>>723124164
so a voice in your head told you to do something and you firt thought was not oh shit i have a voice in my head?

Any clergy member is just human, a symbol of faith in man, but still man. You speak to God, the priest is a point of focus, something we've created to symbolize God.
