>recent online convert to Orthodoxy confirmed

The cringe atheists of the 2010s are now the cringe Christians of today. Same energy, same afflictions, same reasons they profess to believe it. At least Hitchens was funny when he shittalked. Peterson, despise some very insightful literary analysis and secular uplifting works has now become the very thing he set out not to be. His focus on very insightful thinkers and philosophers is now gone and so too is his relevancy.

Still waiting for him to finish his trilogy on message to muslims, message to christians and message to...who is missing here? Wont mention the jew now that he works for one.

>Monks are the most conspicuous example
Monks are less than 0.1% of Christians, most Christians are incredibly materialistic, all of Latin and South America, hell all of the Americas are the most Christian nations and are utterly destroyed by materialism.

Why would what God say be considered moral? If there was proof positive we were created by a divine figuere, what logic would there be that what he wanted for us was moral or good?

I know the shit answer is he is god, he knows more, that is a fallacy, appeal to authority.

Is God willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is not omnipotent.
Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent.
Is he both able and willing? Then whence cometh evil?
Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God?

>The rational man knows his life should be built around the only thing that isn't bound to disappear : the Eternal, God.

The only eternal is entropy, the judeo-christian God is not the alpha and the omega.

The Christian concept of marriage is utterly empty of love and affection. You are required to place another between you.

Your hatred of youthful experience is also showing. Probably because you lacked any, but i bet you can blitz a game of HOI4.

God is made in our image, not us in his. If we truly are made in the image of a divine creator, fuck me was it a rough draft.

We have a nerve pathway that goes all the way from the base of your skull, all the way down to roughly your pelvis, then all the way back up, jusy to deliver to the nerve ending less than a handful of inches from where it began.

And even if we were created by a divine being, why would that make what they say moral?

>You are al the same. Claiming "objective morals" is meaningless, all morals are subjective, just look at all the different ways of interpreting the same

The fact that they are subjective should be clear by the fact that there is an Old Testament, otherwise known as the Torah, and the New Testament. If any of it was objective why the remake?

>Christianity is about love
It is the anti-power creed, it celebrates and encourages the weakness in people. That you are powerless without Christ, that you are worthless without Christ. It is the thought that all that we see, hear, feel, know and cherish is worthless compared to what you will get upon death. So long as your subscription is up to date.

It is a miracle Europe grew out from under it.

>Miracles still happen, people just scoff at them or try to explain them away.

No they don't, it is not a miracle that something non-standard happened. Miracles are the suspension of the natural order in your favor, nothing has been suspended when you claim a miracle. And as time marches on, the miracles get far less impressive. Those required for Canonization and Sainthood are hilarious.

>Read the book of Luke.
Written 80 years after the killing of Christ, not a historical account by any means. No more than Plutarch.

>It means don't return evil for evil.
It is immoral to claim violence in defense of what you love is evil.

>Catastrophism is a better explanation than uniformitarianism, especially when you consider something like Mount Saint Helens.
If you consider how mountains form and geology, it is not. But, if that were true, the fact that God would kill every last figure on the planet save for one, is a gross evil that should not be overlooked. That despite how chaste, honest, true you may be, you will still die in a massive flood because God was unable to give clear instruction.

>Do people like you think you're going to change anyone's mind by trolling in these threads every time?
Yes, yes we do.

>Pic related, they have to ruin these threads every single time because they hate the Truth.
Your truth is based on circular logic that God is real, because this book that says God is real, is real, because God told us to right his book

>Don't feed the trolls.
Read other books.
