HIGH TEST.

Manichaeism, it's Zoroastrianism, Gnostic Christianity, and Buddhism in a single ancient new-age like cult.
Gonna piggy-back on this: anyone have that Orthodox Christianity reading list? I find myself intrigued and want some starting points (what's the Orthodox equivalent to the catechism?).
>>1246610
can anyone really refute this?
Deism

The constant seeker of revelation and enlightenment is the only true religious adherent, no matter your "faith"
>>1246497
Become a Heathen. No priests, no holy books, just you and God.
>>1246610
But Panpsychism is the true philosophical commitment, and the mystical definition of God (as opposing every definition we attempt to give Him, being closest in silence and negation, arguably nonexistence, but not really as He is beyond every conception available to us as we are of the world) is the true Divine conception...
...the story of God and the World is one of foolish and melancholy love, each unable to grasp the other and fulfill their boundless and futile desire
>>1247293
k so first off please speak English instead of Hegelease
but secondly Panpsychism is not a far leap at all

If you want some background on o e view of it, go check out the shaivism folder here
https://mega.nz/#F!AE5yjIqB!y7Vdxdb5pbNsi2O3zyq9KQ!pMw3kaoS
Tantra Illuminated is the easiest to understand presentation, Kashmiri Shaivism the Secret Supreme is a bit more in depth but requires a bit of background, and Tantrasara is the deep cut. It'll make a thread like that more enjoyable for you. There are plenty of books there on the western equivalent but that isn't my area of expertise.

agnosticism isn't a religion, it's a degree of faith.

Christianity = cuck-tier
Hinduism = poo-tier
Sikhism = broish poo-tier
Islam = warlord-tier
Buddhism = white millennial-tier
Judaism = global elite-tier
I would personally go with Judaism for obvious reasons, but I hear it's hard to convert into it.
>>1249210
It's not, and the "global elites" aren't practicing Jews. Even the elites in Israel aren't even practicing Jews. The most religious, Orthodox Jews (haredim) in Israel and Jew York are universally reviled and don't contribute to their hosts. They're literally the Jews of Jews.
You're silly.

It's not about getting a religion; it's about meeting your maker before you have to.
Is your city in the list, /his/?
>>1249576
Yeah, that "24%" are definitely the spoiled white folk. Blacks and Hmong coming over here are overwhelmingly Christian and the neighboring city of Dearborn has the largest Arabic population in the United States (The Christians moved to Sterling Heights to avoid their mudslime cousins)

I don't quite get Satanism.
Following an entity that exists in a holy text simply to be foretold that he loses is shitpost-level logic.
>>1249594
It's reactionary from what I understand, especially LaVey, which is essentially a shitpost in scripture format. Not that I mind. It's pretty funny how asspained some self-serious people get over it.
What what I've heard, most Satanism just boils down to individualism and the golden rule with a bit of wicca thrown in to spice it up.
>>1249594
Satanist doctrine doesn't even include Satan.
>>1249625
As far as I know? the LaVey book really is more a guide to life without dogma and coercion. So no, it's thematic opposite of religion
>>1249594
Its just some souped up Nietzsche philosophy that 14 year olds came up with after read Dante's Inferno.
>>1249717
Take out Nietzsche and you literally have the kind of surface-level Catholicism you see most normies practice out of hell-fear.
That's the problem with narratives bruv, they're reductionist and one-size-fits-all.
>>1246801
I would read later Dostoevsky stuff)(brothers Karamazov in particular) and the bible. There a smattering of other Russian writers from around the time that carry themes of orthodoxy in their work as well, such as Gogol, Chekhov, among others.
>>1249722
How can you get Catholicism out of Dante's Inferno?
''The most widely accepted and sharpest notion of God that we have can be expressed like this: God is an absolutely perfect being; but though this is widely accepted, its consequences haven’t been well enough thought out. As a start on exploring them, let us note that there are various completely different ways of being perfect, and that God has them all, each in the highest degree. We also need to understand what a perfection is. Here is one pretty good indicator: a property is not a perfection unless there is a highest degree of it; so number and shape are not perfections, because there cannot possibly be a largest number or a largest thing of a given shape - ·that is, a largest triangle, or square, or the like·. But there is nothing impossible about the greatest knowledge or about omnipotence [here = ‘greatest possible power’]. So power and knowledge are perfections, and God has them in unlimited form. It follows that the actions of God, who is supremely - indeed infinitely - wise, are completely perfect. This is not just metaphysical perfection, but also the moral kind. His moral perfection, so far as it concerns us, amounts to this: the more we come to know and understand God’s works, the more inclined we shall be to find them excellent, and to give us everything we could have wished. ''

Why can't I read minds then?

Judaism.
OG monotheism. Poser ass Muslims and Christians need not apply.
>>1249263
No, but Judaism would be a path to making sick connections if you work in finance or something. Especially as an investment for the future connections your kids would make.
>>1246497
Christianity. Either Anglican, Orthodox or Catholic.
Ignore the faggots who think it's a cuck religion, they're dirty Jews.

Even if that was a real thing, it's not very impressive.
I cut down a tree last week.

Of course it was a real thing, why do you think the snownigs chimped out so hard?

Why is being an agnostic athiest somehow better than being an atheist if no one has any proofs?
>>1253808
Who wouldn't be impressed by the deranged howling of a brood of snowniggers after you cut down their magic tree?
>>1253819
They're called "correctional facilities," "gulag" is a historical term that refers to the concentration camps utilized by the now defunct Soviet Union.
There is this biblical notion that the true saviour will be hated by all, rejected and called a prince of demons.
I'll explain to you what Satan does, since there seems to be a confusion.
If you want to live forever and know god, and you want god to save you, you ask god by His name: SATAN SAVE ME.
And unlike with jesus, the moment you ask this, you will receive a sign, and this sign will feel good and will be very descriptive of the nature of Satan.
So which is it gonna be?
The alleged saviour that the world was supposedly hating but everybody preachs, this is jesus and they made sure to burn you at the stake if you rejected him in the past.
Or the "unlikely" saviour that is hated by the world like the bible claims, is called a prince of demons like the bible says, and has his followers called demons like the bible says. And for whose name's sake we are hated.
Satan the saviour.
Want to know who the world hates? Who does the world say is the devil? Pick up the bible, the world says it is Satan.
And the promises of power given by the devil (miracles of jesus) are not bearing fruit while the children are being raped at the temples.
>>1253843
>Who wouldn't be impressed by the deranged howling of a brood of snowniggers after you cut down their magic tree?
So no primary sources then?
>They're called "correctional facilities,"
Errr okay. I'm not sure what the point of this is.
>>1251934
No silly the gods in your head
>>1251953
Yeah, it pretty much is. I don't think you'd find too many Satanists who even disagree with such a term.
>>1253861
The Royal Frankish Annals were written during Charlemagne's reign and recount how Karl, the absolute madman that he was, went around cucking the snowniggers by chopping down their magic trees left and right.
>>1253882
What great Christian love. Really doesn't make your whining about ISIS hypocritical at all
>>1253898
Teaching the snowniggers not to pray to trees was an immeasurable benefit to them, I assure you.
>>1253902
And blowing up churches in Syria was an immeasurable benefit to them, I assure you.
>>1253918
No it wasn't because churches are institutions of learning whereas trees are foliage.
>>1253922
Yes, of learning cuckoldry. The Syrians will now probably return to glory
>>1253923
May God have mercy on Syria.
>>1253934
The same mercy christcucks don't extend to people who don't agree with their shitty worldview?
>>1253952
Mercy falls on the just and unjust alike, just as the sun's warmth is enjoyed by all.
>>1253962
It sure does

"Enter through the narrow gate. For wide is the gate and broad is the road that leads to destruction, and many enter through it.

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

Then the angel of the Lord stood in a narrow path through the vineyards, with walls on both sides. 25 When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, it pressed close to the wall, crushing Balaam’s foot against it. So he beat the donkey again.
26 Then the angel of the Lord moved on ahead and stood in a narrow place where there was no room to turn, either to the right or to the left. 27 When the donkey saw the angel of the Lord, it lay down under Balaam, and he was angry and beat it with his staff. 28 Then the Lord opened the donkey’s mouth, and it said to Balaam, “What have I done to you to make you beat me these three times?”
29 Balaam answered the donkey, “You have made a fool of me! If only I had a sword in my hand, I would kill you right now.”
30 The donkey said to Balaam, “Am I not your own donkey, which you have always ridden, to this day? Have I been in the habit of doing this to you?”
“No,” he said.
31 Then the Lord opened Balaam’s eyes, and he saw the angel of the Lord standing in the road with his sword drawn. So he bowed low and fell facedown.
32 The angel of the Lord asked him, “Why have you beaten your donkey these three times? I have come here to oppose you because your path is a reckless one before me.[a] 33 The donkey saw me and turned away from me these three times. If it had not turned away, I would certainly have killed you by now, but I would have spared it.”
34 Balaam said to the angel of the Lord, “I have sinned. I did not realize you were standing in the road to oppose me. Now if you are displeased, I will go back.”
35 The angel of the Lord said to Balaam, “Go with the men, but speak only what I tell you.” So Balaam went with Balak’s officials.
>>1254532
5 The Lord gave Balaam a message for King Balak. Then he said, “Go back to Balak and give him my message.”
6 So Balaam returned and found the king standing beside his burnt offerings with all the officials of Moab. 7 This was the message Balaam delivered:
“Balak summoned me to come from Aram;
the king of Moab brought me from the eastern hills.
‘Come,’ he said, ‘curse Jacob for me!
Come and announce Israel’s doom.’
8
But how can I curse those
whom God has not cursed?
How can I condemn those
whom the Lord has not condemned?
9
I see them from the cliff tops;
I watch them from the hills.
I see a people who live by themselves,
set apart from other nations.
10
Who can count Jacob’s descendants, as numerous as dust?
Who can count even a fourth of Israel’s people?
Let me die like the righteous;
let my life end like theirs.”
11 Then King Balak demanded of Balaam, “What have you done to me? I brought you to curse my enemies. Instead, you have blessed them!”
