>"The corpse was provided with a council," details one historian's account, "who wisely remained silent while Pope Stephen raved and screamed his insults at it." The moldering body was then stripped of its sacred vestments, three fingers on its right hand were hacked off and what was left of the corpse was dragged through the streets of Rome and dumped into the Tiber river. Stephen, though, didn't last long; he was strangled to death by his own enemies the following year.

I think what it comes down to is the loss of national identity and patriotism (as part of the push for multiculturalism). If for example being Christian is no longer a defining factor for being "a true German" and your own culture loses more relevance it will become less important to you. Urbanization is certainly also an issue, but that is because cities are overwhelmingly multicultural whereas the rural areas are predominantly mono-ethnic.

Why is it so hard for you to accept the truth?
Gnosticism is true, the god you are worshipping is a creature of darkness that aids the jews and gives them earthly power and riches, even tough you're supposed to be the adoptive sons, the jews are still favoured and placed in privileged positions and don't give me the synagogue of satan crap, a god that creates knowingly a being of evil that will surpass him while distributing power and riches is an incompetent.
>>
>>137399223
Yes obviously i have issues with some "policies" but I'm not exactly cherry-picking though, many people and catholics don't change their personal views, traditions & customs just because the Pope told them so.

If Christianity was about policies(political i might add) then many people wouldn't even be christian to begin with.But the fact is that it's not really, christianity is more about promoting free-will and trying to help your neighbour/do good the best you can to your own will, not forcefully doing things like it's some kind of a state you should obey to.(that's why it took off 2000 years ago but that's besides the point)

We will talk about ego later, for example about how you want to have a strong ego not to be pwned by shitty archons, but since you're not aware of what is spiritually correct because you're a christian, let's first focus on teaching you what your reliigon preaches, since you don't even know it.

You seem to have ignored the rest of my comment but I can only hope you learned something.

That's only briefly mentioned, the bible is not about that. And even so, that's not good vs evil. It's creatures straying from God.

Sure, but again, that's not good vs evil.

>>137402342

That's the whole point of the bible.
Angels rebelled.
There will be judgement and they will be destroyed so a saviour is sent so people don't get lost because these angels are fooling and deceiving mankind into improper behaviour that god would have to punish.

If this isn't your only view on christianity then you are not a christian proper.

Not entirely correct. Devils are not responsible for humans straying, they just tempt people. And God doesn't have to punish them, and indeed doesn't. Straying from God is the punishment in itself, since it leads to suffering. God is loving, and doesn't want anyone to suffer.
>If this isn't your only view on christianity then you are not a christian proper.

Literally the new testament.

John 8:44
You belong to your father, the devil, and you want to carry out your father's desires.
1 John 5:19
We know that we are children of God, and that the whole world is under the control of the evil one.

You don't know your religion and you come teach things to those that are already in the good path.

When the christ came two religions started, you picked the wrong one.

>Because I'm saved, God granted me gnosis.
Not an argument. Not even sure you'' serious with this answer.

The quotes don't proove that the bible is all about fallen angels. Again, i have no idea why you would even think that. The bible is about man's salvation. i don't know why you focus on fallen angels so much.

>You don't know your religion and you come teach things to those that are already in the good path.
Again, what makes you so sure you'r on the good path? Unlike you I have the holy church fathers and saints and martyrs to back me up. You just sound like a total lunatic.

>>137403648
I guess the death and destruction part. At some point you realise "wow, why have I devoted my life to destroying my own country for the sake of a religious disagreement?" and rationality ensues.

People, generally, are motivated to avoid loss. When the losses outweigh the gains, things change.
>>
>>137403528
A lot of those are politically motivated. Religion alone is not enough to start wars. Look at the 30 years war for exaple, the French faught on the protestant side despite being catholic.
I'm not actually saying that religion can't cause ruptures and tensions. But you have to think what would there be without christianity (since i'm not defending all religion). And you can see that very clearly (commies, nazis, pagan savages etc.).

If you spend some time reading the history of Great Britain it will be very clear to you that small disagreements on religious practices, for example marriage and divorce, can cause major destruction.

Religion is in rapid decline in europe, in the UK or national census showed the number of non-religious self identifying in 2001 was about 15%, and 10 years later in 2011 census that had increased to 25%, about 1% per year.

The distribution of this per age is linearly related, so the older you are, the more religious your age group. That means we can predict the continuation of the increase of non-religious easily 60-80 years in the future and it's really bad for religion, it'll be a minority in our lifetimes, possibly as early as 2030 depending on how many atheists are still closeted and don't like to reveal so.

I agree but the influence of non Christian religious philosophies on National Socialist ideology is worth noting.

Because you'r not the only one who claimed to have direct experience with God. There are thousands of saints and monks who had spiritual experiences, and to belive that all such experiences are divine is incredibly juvenile and egotistic. The experience of one person, even if that person is myself doesn't mean much. The collective experience of all christian prophets and saints and believers is worth a lot more.

European Christianity is Christianity mixed with Paganism though. Then (((someone))) co-opted it and turned it into first rate cuckery. It's pretty clear the Nazis realised this and the next step was bringing in a new European (or even Germanic) Christianity that also carried Pagan elements. Obviously the war stopped that before it truly got started.

Don't lose time with people like that anon.
Your arguments are pretty valid, and I think the same: Christianity is about following the teachings of Christ, the Church is just his "delegate" on Earth. But if the Church does some shit that goes against the teachings of the Gospels, or simply makes up shit that Christ never told, we're not forced to obey.
The Church doesn't have the power to damn to hell someone, only God has that.

People like the other anon are people who probably can't think for themselves, and when they stick with a denomination, for them is a "follow everything or nothing"; their brains don't have space for the various shades of reality. It's a matter of "either I follow ALL of the leader's words without questioning, or I choose another denomination/sect/cult, for I don't know what critical thinking is and I need somebody else to think for me".

Yes. Socialist thought was developed in the UK in the aftermath of the English Civil War. Eg. The Diggers.

You have yet to prove or even give evidence of that. All you have is your "mistical" experience, and you'r not the only one to have such experiences, so that doesn't even mean anything. Maybe if you read about it you wouldn't think so highly of yourself.
>you have to be retarded to think I'm mistaken?
If you read my comment carefully, I haven't actually said you'r mistaken. But plenty of people have had mystical experiences, that alone doesn't mean you spoke to God.

Religion doesn't cause wars.
Leaders of countries/organizations/etc. cause wars for political or economic reasons: religion is used as an excuse, to justify the conflict, and to drag ignorant people in the fight.

Saying "we need to fight the people on the other side of the river because they have better resources!" doesn't have the same effect on the population that saying "we must destroy the infidels on the other side of the river, who believe in a false god and are a blasphemy to our faith!".
Less to explain, more to gain.
Bonus: fanatism ensues, granting a kamikaze-like bloodthirst on the battlefield.
That's it, religion is just an excuse. Everybody intelligent enough to read the Gospels would understand that EVERY war is against God's techings.

I can't I'm not a saint. But there are plenty of saints, and even more testimonies of miracles being performed. And of course many testimonies of people having spiritual experiences that have nothing to do with christianity.

First of all, all our feelings/experiences are subjective, what you feel/experience may vary to somebody else.Secondly, you're the one who claimed to have experienced your "thing" in the first place, isn't it kind of hypocritical to ask for proof of somebody who hasn't claimed shit?(And by the way, the "proof" it's there,the fact that it's not empirical is probably what bothers you, then again one day you might realise there's no empirical proof about anything, math & abstraction are a different subject)

It's not that clear and definite.
Less religious countries like Sweden (regardless of the multicultural issues) are more prone to admit the limits of human nature, and people admit freely what they are (i.e. homosexuals) without fear of any social stigma.

More religious countries are not less degenerate, their people simply hide their degeneracy; i.e., there are still homosexuals, but they hide it or they marry and have children while continuing to have homosexual intercourse with other males during their marriage (obviously hiding it). It's more a matter of hypocrisy, imho.

That must be why the nations that shill the most for open borders (Sweden, Germany, France) have a sub-10% weekly church attendance rate, while Poland, the most anti-refugee country on the continent, has a 30%+ rate. Brilliant logic there.

1) Because I know a lot of people. I have many gay friends, but the majority of them are closet homos, for fear of social stigma. They go to gay pubs, discos, etc., and they have known a lot of other men who are married with children.
2) If by "degeneracy" you mean "public degeneracy", then you're right. If you mean "true existing degeneracy", then you're not.
3) Bullshit. Legitimizing something doesn't encourage that behaviour: it simply encourages people to come out from the darkness and living like human beings. Staying in the homo example: I highly doubt that a straight male, by seeing a Gay Pride Parade, will think "Hmmm... so many faggots... I have always wondered how cock tastes like".

Hiding people differences is never a good idea. And even if those are REAL problems, hiding them is never a good option. Problems need to be addressed. To remain in the homo narrative: think of a young man who's a homo because he's been abused. What's better for him? To keep everything hidden, or to make him come out of the closet, so he can live freely as a homo, and see that in the end he doesn't fit in the homo narrative, so he can recognize his problem and seek help?

It literally does.

Being a sodomite is not living like a human being.
>I highly doubt that a straight male, by seeing a Gay Pride Parade, will think "Hmmm... so many faggots... I have always wondered how cock tastes like".
No, but it's discgusting and vulgar first of all, and some people who might have gay tendencies will be encouraged to pursue them.
>And even if those are REAL problems, hiding them is never a good option.
No, but looking at a problem and saying, well that's not a problem at all is even worse.
> think of a young man who's a homo because he's been abused. What's better for him? To keep everything hidden, or to make him come out of the closet, so he can live freely as a homo,
To keep everything hidden obviously, and even better to try to ignore the gay tendencies and have a normal life.
> and see that in the end he doesn't fit in the homo narrative, so he can recognize his problem and seek help?
Well, a lot of sodomites don't do that obviously, and even if they did, it's still worse than not sinning in the first place.
