How do I force myself to believe in God? I can't handle

You can't. Once you go black you never go back.

Go to an Orthodox service

God is experienced. You are his image, his reflection. When you live in his will, that reflection becomes clean, and you behold his radiance firsthand by turning inward

Watch "Ostrov" pn youtube. Read Laurus. Read The Way of a Pilgrim

>How do I willingly dumb myself down?

>>2988350
You have to experience God. At your lowest, giving up yourself to him is one way. The classic way is fasting. Of course you could do psychedelics, but then it could be any entity leading you and not necessarily God.

The first and last worked for me, but it's always fleeting unless you keep working at it. I'm in the weening phase after the waxing, and need to get back away from the pleasures of the body and into the harmony of the spirit.

>not being a "fool for Christ"

I think being religious would be cool but then I think of the reason I became atheist. Not wanting to believe untrue things. Shits cray.

>>2988350
Start praying. Even though you don't believe you're talking to anyone start off by pretending that someone is listening to you and tell them about what's going on in your life. Share your desires and fears with them. Try to set aside one minute of your day to do this consistently and read the Gospels (I recommend starting with Mark) before going to bed.

"So I say to you: Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you."

- Lk 11:9

>>2988350
You can't. Once you lose faith in God there is no chance in going back short of some miracle that will reaffirm your faith. It's not like without god you'll become some moral relativist. You still follow your own set of morals with or without some kike god telling you what to do.

>>2988417
You don't know that religious beliefs are untrue, you just chose to believe they are. Every worldview requires faith.

How do you guys know he wants to believe in the Judeo-Christian god?

There are signs of God's glory all around. You just have to pay attention.

>>2988436
You mean the One True God?

>>2988350
Realize that it doesn't matter whether he is real or not, but it's more important to learn, and practice church doctrine. You must also spread this dying religion, especially among the decaying youth of the west

Reading is hard

>fasting
I basically fast already, I'll eat one meal a day, two max. That's why I'm a weak skeleton. Still don't feel God.

>>2988505
That's more like eating disorder. Also fasting isn't just not eating, it's also "meditation." Put that in quotes because I don't want you to think of some Eastern crossed-leg activity instead of it being a mindset.

>>2988350
You need to expose yourself to other philosophies. Not just Christians, but those from other intellectual traditions as well. You have the collected works of pretty much every writer in history at your fingertips, after all.

>>2988500
Then watch Ostrov

Abundance paralysis

>How do I force myself to believe in God?
First, ask yourself if you're even capable of faith and belief. Personally, I don't think I am.

You are. If you lived as Jesus says to--seriously--you would find God. Christ himself promised this

Fine. Go read these:

Something might speak to you, it might not, but I doubt it'll be a total loss.

>>2988350
believing in god isn't important. considering ie. not rejecting god is.

Great argument. You've convinced me. Praise Jeebus.

I don't mean to come off as preachy, but there is an obscene amount of evidence backing up Christianity, more specifically, the hundreds of OT prophecies Christ fulfilled to the letter. Here's a website that goes into a bit more detail, best of luck overcoming nihilism anon.

>>2988350
Are you completely unaware of the concept of faith?

>>2988350
Anon, it is better to kill yourself because of the truth than live for a lie.

>>2988350
So Where can I help?

The only absolute truth a human is cappable of to is acknowledge that he knows nothing.

>>2989215
If you know that you know nothing then obviously you know something

>a complete exaggeration of socrates
No it's the base of modern science.

Everyone who goes beyond this is not more but a believer.

Be an Absurdist. Albert Camus is your guy.

Read hermetic works and mystical christian and islamic works.

Then you will awake.
