/pol/, I come to you for guidance. For as long as I can remember, I have been an atheist. I was raised in a secular home, and the concept of God has always been foreign to me. However, lately I have fallen on hard times and I don't think I'm capable of lifting myself up out of this pit without some outside guidance.

All I need to know is the best place to start. Can I just pick up a bible and go from there, using my own interpretations and hoping what I read will connect with me?

tl;dr I want to become a Christian, but I don't know where to start.

Consider the validity of what you're planning on doing when you have to choose to believe something.

You're never going to believe the fairy tales of the sandpeople in the same way you'll believe a physicist when he explains how atoms work.

If you have to choose to believe something, because you can not prove it to be true or have seen/experienced something so fantastical it makes you believe in the existence of some higher power, you'll only be fooling yourself.

Read "Meditations" by Marcus Aurelius, then find your God(s).

As much as my inner fedora resists, once the times are truly tough you need something to believe into. Not a mere "probability" against solipsism. It will not suffice when the time comes. You need a concrete belief which no doubt can seep into, so you can fall onto it when you're tired of life.

To follow up let us be clear about a few things;

The semitic stories of creation have their true roots in Sumeria, modern day Iraq. Thousands of years before the roman empire, nevertheless "jesus."

They were simply adopted and/or brought on as local tales by people in the region.

Christianity is infamous for adopting certain traits of it's conquered cultures or countries.

I.e Christmas as a lot already know, comes from the original germanic pagan belief of bringing a tree inside your home, and nurture it while all the trees outside die. Which would help the sun bring spring and summer back after winter.

It was a lot easier for the norse/germanics to accept the new religion when it was baked into things they already knew of or could identify with.

Not to mention egyptian obelisks being imported even to rome itself and various other examples of the religion adopting traits to make it easier to assimilate different cultures under one religion.

Lastly, stop believing in fairy tales. all semitic religions are on par with pagans in terms of it's validity.

OP, I suggest that you avoid the mind disease of western religion at all cost. Do not delude yourself with an old wold ideology.

Instead take psychedelics and study Buddhist philosophy. The great thing about it is that your knowledge of the divine reality will be experiential instead of faith based, and you can still be a Buddhist and an atheist at the same time. Buddhism is an approach to inquiry and experience, not actually a religion.

In conjunction with that, read the Stoic philosophers. Life will get better. You're stronger than you think.

All the best

Watch Jordan B Peterson lectures (not always explicitly religious and very good):
http://www.youtube.com/JordanBPeterson
Read Basic Christianity by John Stott
Also, if you want, study the teachings of early church fathers like Ireneaus and Augustine.
When reading the Bible, I would suggest starting in the New Testament gospels.
Read Mark first, then John, and then continue into Acts.
Find a church with a good pastor or priest that has activities you can get involved in like sports or volunteering, and make some Christian friends.
Best of luck, and God bless you on your journey.

If I were you, I'd read the book of Job first as strange as it sounds. It will show you the benefit of resounding faith. Even when he fell on tough times and doubted his own worth, he still fell to God for guidance. After that, I'd go for the New Testament books starting with Matthew.
>>
>>131826208
I disagree with Job but do agree with Matthew. Following Matthew (and the other gospels) I like Hebrews; there the case is made to the early Jewish congregation for Jesus' Christship. Following Hebrews, the so-called Torah since the Mosaic law was nullified by the law of Christ but with the principles of Moses' law in mind.

Buy yourself a King James Bible. Don't bother with study versions with footnotes and annotations, or with modern translations. Read the Bible without distraction.

Start with one of the Gospels, John or Mark. Everyone should be able to go through Genesis 1 to Exodus 20, if you can't you're a pleb. Read Ecclesiastes and dip in and out of Proverbs.

Start going to church when you feel compelled to.

>>
>>131818099
>All I need to know is the best place to start. Can I just pick up a bible and go from there, using my own interpretations and hoping what I read will connect with me?
No, you can't just pick up a bible and understand it. You need experienced people to help you know what you're reading.

As an example, many libtards cite the passage about "easier for camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to get into heaven" as justification for attacking the wealthy. BUT immediately following that passage, everywhere it appears in the bible, are the apostles asking in astonishment, "if a rich man can't get into heaven, who possibly can?"

Back then, it was idiotically assumed rich people were automatically holy. Now it is assumed poor people are automatically holy. Jesus is saying that rich or poor doesn't matter at all. You will be judged for your choices and your lies.

See what I mean? You need guidance.

>Stupid fucking Christopaths don't understand that all that love and tolerance shit in their Kike Bible
No, it's YOU who does not understand that those passages are being misinterpreted by lying libfags that YOU are apparently stupid enough to believe.

If the bible were what you claim, Jesus would not have taken up a fucking whip and beat the assess of the kikes who were desecrating the temple by selling "holy trinkets" in it. He responded with violence. He beat the shit out of them and chased them away. Then he told his followers to sell their cloaks and buy swords.

Jesus kicked ass. Jesus made it quite clear that you should FIGHT evil, not tolerate it. The passage about turning the other cheek is only when you are utterly powerless and can resist only by revealing to everyone watching what a vile piece of shit is attacking you, keeping your dignity as he strikes you, as he robs you. When you have a whip within reach, Jesus showed you to stomp a mud hole in their asses!

You clearly don't understand jack shit about the bible!

But seriously, take the time to research what some of the more obscure passages mean. Just reading them, you can fall victim to the problems with translation and passage of time. Liberals take advantage of this uncertainty and spread false interpretations that serve their agenda.

In Genesis, for example, I assure you that God did not literally MAKE pharaoh refuse to set the Israelites free and then punish him for the refusal. It's a misinterpretation that happens because of the way they used idiomatic phrases back then. You need to bear in mind that the people who wrote the bible were not morons and such a contradiction, were it real, would have been perfectly obvious to them.

Torah. Jesus was the Torah made flesh. Greco-Roman Christianity has twisted Paul to make him contradict the entirety of scripture just so that rebellion against God's Instructions and Standards can be rationalized. YHWH's Torah is forever. Please, heed His call, but do not be led astray by the Harlot and her daughter churches who offer the wine of false doctrine. You are offered grace, but in order to be forgiven, you must repent and the only true repentance is the turning away from what is wrong and turning towards what is right. Sin is defined in scripture as breaking God's Law. To stop sinning is to stop breaking His Law which is to start following it. Please do your due diligence on this matter and do not be swayed into easy believism by false doctrines that sound inviting and easy.

119 Ministries is a great resource as is The Way Fellowship of which I linked.

If you /pol/ christians hate the Old Testament so much, then why do you even keep it in your Bible? Put your money where your fat mouths are. Take your Bibles, cut them in half and throw the first half in the garbage. Do it. Do it now.

Just start praying regularly and ask for help. Trust that God listens and works behind the scenes to help you. As for the bible, read the first four books of the new testament.

Seek out a good local church (read reviews online) and explain your situation to them. Be humble and honest about your life and experiences, and then let them show you the way. I know that you probably have a strong impression that any moron can pick up a bible, start yelling, and become a church leader, but it's usually a much more complicated process than that. Many of the people you encounter at a quality church have been to school and spent a lot of time reflecting on the issues you face, and it would be silly to reject their wisdom.

Anyway, best of luck to you.

Lol start with matthew , john is to advanced its good for doctrine, but what does a atheist need with

>1In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. 2The same was in the beginning with God. 3All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made. 4In him was life; and the life was the light of men. 5And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.


or


>14And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth. 15John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me. 16And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace. 17For the law was given by Moses, but grace and truth came by Jesus Christ. 18No man hath seen God at any time; the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he hath declared him.

Not even Christians take Christianity seriously. Read the Qur'an if you want a religion people take seriously.

Muslims often claim that the Gospel has been corrupted. The Qur’an, however, tells us that the Gospel is the Word of Allah, and that no one can corrupt Allah’s Word:

Qur’an 3:3—He has revealed to you the Book with truth, verifying that which is before it, and He revealed the Torah and the Gospel aforetime, a guidance for the people, and He sent the Qur’an.

Qur’an 6:115—The word of thy Lord doth find its fulfillment in truth and in justice: None can change His words: for He is the one who heareth and knoweth all.

Qur’an 18:27—And recite what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord, there is none who can alter His words; and you shall not find any refuge besides Him.

These verses lead to an obvious question. If the Gospel is the Word of God, and no one can corrupt God’s Word, who corrupted the Gospel? The answer may surprise you.

For nearly two thousand years, Christians have proclaimed Jesus’ death and resurrection. Islam rejects both of these doctrines and offers a different account of what happened at the cross and afterwards. However, the Muslim explanation comes at a terrible price: God is portrayed as a horrible deceiver, and Jesus as the most stupendous failure in the history of the prophets.

There are two kinds of atheists: those who know nothing of religions and those who do. Try to become the latter, reading the Bible would only help. Also just because it's a religious text it doesn't mean there is nothing useful there.

I don't mean to play devil's advocate, but in the Quran where it talks about "the word of god", the Quran is the thing being specifically mentioned, meaning that the Quran is the thing that can not be corrupted, while the Gospel is believed to have been corrupted over time, but because "gods word is incorruptable" it has been fixed

>devil's advocate
yup
>>
>>131846475
>Qur

Also what you did is misinterpret the Quran. Even if the verses being mentioned were truly talking about the general word of god, then it still doesn't prove an oxymoron at all. The reason why is because due to God's word being incorruptible, whenever people attempted to courrupt his word God sent down a messanger with the same word.

The Quran is merely another word for the original Gospel.

But the gospel is the word of allah also how can it be corrupted if it cannot be corrupted

>Qur’an 6:115—The word of thy Lord doth find its fulfillment in truth and in justice: None can change His words

>Qur’an 18:27—And recite what has been revealed to you of the Book of your Lord, there is none who can alter His words

How do you misinterpret ;gods words cannot be changed ?

Look outside yourself and see the constants and intricacies in the world around you. Learn to see God in all things and know for certainty that he is right beside you at all times. Speak to him and ask him for understanding. Do not presume to think your needs are more important then anyone elses in this world by asking him for favors or gains. Sit in quiet contemplation and try to understand how you fit into the grand scheme of things. This should be your first step in your search for understanding your faith
