What is the comfiest religion?
>>
Probably atheism, because you can do whatever you want without any moral hangups, think you have it all figured out, and behave like you are better than everyone.
>>
Buddhism if you're as dedicated as monks.
Basically just flaff around a monastery all day plus strict meditation and other shit.

I'd like to stay at a monastery for a few years but my autism prevents me.

I wanna say Roman Catholicism but I feel bias on how comfy and homely it feels because my church also acts as a cultural center for us . As we are a minority group in the area .

It ultimately depends on the monastery. If it's Buddhist not typically iirc. However there are non denominational temples that operate off of communes. And they happily accept outsiders. But that's not a religious thing.

Maybe Catharism.

The idea of two Gods or principles, one being good and the other evil, was central to Cathar beliefs. The good God was the God of the New Testament and the creator of the spiritual realm, contrasted with the evil Old Testament God—the creator of the physical world whom many Cathars, and particularly their persecutors, identified as Satan.[citation needed] All visible matter, including the human body, was created by this evil god; matter was therefore tainted with sin. This was the antithesis to the monotheistic Catholic Church, whose fundamental principle was that there was only one God, who created all things visible and invisible.[9] Cathars thought human spirits were the genderless spirits of angels trapped within the physical creation of the evil god, cursed to be reincarnated until the Cathar faithful achieved salvation through a ritual called the consolamentum.
Consolamentum occurred only twice in a lifetime: upon confirmation in the faith and upon impending death. It was available to both men and women who made a commitment to the faith.[2] Following the ceremony the consoled individual became a "Cathar Perfect".The ritual took various forms; some used the entire New Testament scripture whilst others relied on extracts such as the Gospel attributed to John while administering consolation. There were reportedly some remote cases where holy water was used as a cleansing agent during consolamentum being profusely poured over the recipient's head until he/she was completely wet (as opposed to sprinkling).[1]
>>
>>2325875
cont.
Once consoled, Parfaits were required to be vegetarian, to be celibate, and to dedicate their lives to travelling and teaching Albigensian and Cathar doctrines. The vast majority of the population did not receive consolamentum until on the verge of death. Once given the consolamentum, the same rules applied to them, though they were obviously not expected to travel or preach from their deathbed. This allowed most believers to live somewhat normal lives and receive consolamentum shortly before passing away.[1] The Cathars believed that one would be repeatedly reincarnated until one commits to the self-denial of the material world, which meant that a man could be reincarnated as a woman and vice versa, thereby rendering gender completely meaningless.[46] The spirit was of utmost importance to the Cathars and was described as being immaterial and sexless.[46] Because of this belief, the Cathars saw women equally capable of being spiritual leaders, which undermined the very concept of gender as held by the Catholic Church and did not go unnoticed.[47]

The one that is true, Biblical Christianity.

Your "good works" won't get you to heaven.
Only Christ's precious blood can.
He died for the collective sins of mankind.

Yeshua is the only intermediary/door between man and God the Father.

Atheism is the least comfy you fucking mong.

Yeah, real comfy...

At least with a religion you can either look forward to the afterlife with your loved ones or you can get reincarnated into an eagle or something.

Vast majority of monks were given as children and spend their days doing menial tasks, without payment, for a few elite monks. Buddhism outside of the west and maybe japan sucks balls.

You have other people go kill animals and plants for you. Jainist communities are built around a number of monks being (literally) waited on by non-monks. As in, they dress the monks, harvest food for the monks, cook for the monks, and literally feed the monks.

You know when the Buddha meditates, then realizes that all hardcore self denial is doing is just reveling in craving and materialism just as much as being a wanton hedonist? It's a reference to Jains/Proto-Jains.

Cognitive nihilism

Just do what you do and think what you think you think about.

What it entails in practice? The discernment and play of the games of society. Banging chicks is the game I'm playing. They are selectors with such contradictory courtship and behavior that it's "fun" to play the game.

Most "games" are cognitive traps, crosses on which your cognition is entrapped by a simulation which still pales, in comparison, to the richness of first rank phenomenology.

I'm talking about it from within the spectrum of religion

"Oh shit, I don't want to go to hell. Quick, let's interpret the bible so we can sin AND get into heaven!"

I'm an atheist and have morals. Who knew? Compassion, empathy and all other morality is independent of religion. I was merely pointing out how stupid Christianity is

>I was merely pointing out how stupid Christianity is
Thanks for enlightening us, man.

>>2327975
People are far more "dumb" than you suspect.

You have to make idols that represent a certain code of behavior and judgement.

Being so obsessed with your morals is falling into another cognitive trap.

You will not win against people who think they've found the spire of heaven in their own beliefs.

To antagonize the religious misses the fact that humans, deprived of moral-religious systems, create their own moral-religious systems. It's a bunch of monkeys trying to play musical chairs with the social-moral systems on hand.

It's not "I want to sin and get into heaven", rather it is "I believe God is merciful and benevolent, and I hope to emulate these facets". Catholics, and atheists I now gather, will never understand.
Also, try reading a book on religion rather than making up some half-assed nonsense. It is not something people invent, rather it develops -and different sects develop - out of debate in discourse and under the influence of historical context.

"Muh feels" are the primary motivation of most people.

It's a neat shortcut human cognition sets up. You stop wondering about things that might be beyond your intelligence and get water from the well.

You will never win because most people are about feels. Even atheists. But as a social record, most apes pretend that this is not the motivation for their actions.

Atheists and religious types will throw out "truth" and "revelation" but in reality...

It's the fucking feels which come about from Knowing that your life is precious to the Lord of all Reality.

The point wasn't to defend a particular - ianity but to understand that principle at the back of the minds of the faithful.

"I can stop being a faggot megalomaniac who tries to process systems of systems and instead focus on local environs where I can make a difference. "

If heaven and hell, two fat tails, are secured, then my only responsibility is to the local community of people and things I love.

PS: I'm the cognitive nihilist, not a Christian.
