Paul's epistles

>>14955429
Wait, what's wrong with this? It's symbolic mourning.

—Then, said Cranly, you do not intend to become a protestant?

—I said that I had lost the faith, Stephen answered, but not that I had lost selfrespect. What kind of liberation would that be to forsake an absurdity which is logical and coherent and to embrace one which is illogical and incoherent?

Being high probably would make communion more interesting.

>>14955429
politics wears the skins of dead religions

>>14955429
its what happens when you reduce the eucharist to a mere symbol, thank Zwingli for that.

>>14955453
Nobody deserves to be mourned said for Christ and the Saints.

>>14955453
Shouldn't call it communion, but prots are tards desu

>>14955453
Alternatively, I would call it desecrating a sacrament

How can one race be so impossibly dindu

Travyon Martin was a retarded thug who was killed in self defense while he assaulted someone. So was Michael Brown.

I actually fucking hope white people go extinct so niggers see how the other races will treat them

>>14955429
as i recall, jesus was crucified along with a couple of thieves, so i guess this is appropriate somehow

Don't you have a statue to kiss, heathen?

Christianity itself is degenerate. American Christianity is merely its latest form of this degeneracy

I would hope this is a Jew but I suspect it's a Muslim posting.

>>14955990
Too bad, but no

I don't want to play a guessing game dude, just tell me.

>>14955453
It's a blasphemous skit that makes the Eucharistic offering into a joke. Trayvon was not Jesus, and Rev. Jacqui Lewis is not actually a Christian much less a Catholic priest.

>>14955429
If you want to know more about the how that retard might have got the idea, read Cone's The Cross and the Lynching Tree.

My beliefs are none of your business. They are highly personalized, highly localized, and you would probably strawman the shit out of them anyway.

>>14956049
What a coward.

>>14955429
>no lean
inaccurate and disrespectful.

>>14956053
No, I simply don’t want to waste my time having to correct the bullshit strawmen that you will inevitably construct of my beliefs. Such an effort is fruitless, since people like you never learn anything from this

How do you get a PhD in theology and come out like this

>>14955429
Is there a video from this event? I want to see how many onionsboys attended.

>>14955429
No such book exists in the sense that you intend, for the same reason that no muse is a politician.

>>14956049
>highly personalized, highly localized

>>14956073
You'll post multiple times about not wanting to post about your beliefs, but you won't just state them. You're clearly afraid of what people will say, you're already wasting your time so that excuse doesn't work.

>>14956094
>and you would probably strawman the shit out of them anyway

Like clockwork

>>14956108
your just a bog-standard bugman, buddy.
no need to even strawman your position.

>>14956121
>strawman
strawwoman*
My gender identity is highly personalized, highly localized.

>>14956098
No, it’s because it’s a complete waste of time, because any serious discussion on religious beliefs, especially on 4chan and especially with Americanized formed of mass Christianity, will result in nothing but a circlejerk of namecalling, strawmanning and memespouting. Give me one good reason why I should even bother

>>14956076
>(((PhD)))

>>14956108
We already know that it's some form of gnosticism/atheism.

>>14956121
I have absolutely no idea what any of that shit means.

>>14956049
>They are highly personalized,
You're literally anonymous.
>highly localized,
Really?
>and you would probably strawman the shit out of them anyway.
I wouldn't, I'm just curious as to the background of someone professing degeneracy across all of Christianity. Someone else probably will though, so if you're feeling a little sensitive or embarrassed by all means don't say.

>>14956137
Wrong again

>>14956147
Enlighten me then.

>>14956141
So what? You don’t deserve to know. Only the people I surround myself with deserve to know. That’s what I meant with ‘none of your business’. I made a choice that I will not disclose this to some rando dickhead on the internet, especially not to idiots who can only spout bullshit memes and cannot engage with someone else in an honest discussion to save their life. It’s an act of common decency that you should represent the ideas of someone else as accurately as possible before you start to criticize them. All of you fags on here show on an almost daily basis that none of you possess this minimum of human decency, so I make the choice not to disclose my beliefs to fucktards like yourself.

Oh, and your namecalling is about as relevant to me as the barking of a dog

>>14956129
> Give me one good reason why I should even bother
because if these beliefs are genuine you should have no reason to be ashamed by them, especially under cover of anonymity and especially on a board where people's opinions couldn't matter less.

>>14956184
it's very obvious that you're afraid of your beliefs being criticized

>>14956185
I’m not ashamed by them, they are simply none of your business. And until you learn to not misrepresent others simply because you disagree with them, they will remain none of your business.

>>14956184
You're the one who brought up about religious stuff and were name calling to boot. Maybe don't throw stones if you're in such a glass house, I've not attacked you in any way yet you've immediately rolled over to play the victim.

>Oh, and your namecalling is about as relevant to me as the barking of a dog
What namecalling? You're coming across as extremely sensitive and insecure to me. What's the worst that could happen? If your religious beliefs are that great maybe you'll get some converts.

>>14956202
No, and I’ve explained this several times now. Trying to have a discussion with memelords is like trying to piss in the wind. It’s a complete waste of time

>>14956221
>You're coming across as extremely sensitive and insecure to me.

No, that’s simply having standards. I will not waste any time on faggy memes that mean absolutely nothing to me.

>>14956212
Did I say I disagreed with them? How can I disagree if I don't even know what they are?

You come out with a stupidly provocative and crass statement like "all christianity is degenerate", but then have the gall to suggest other people are misrepresenting you when you haven't even given us the chance. Stand by your beliefs if you're going to shit on other people's beliefs anon, don't be a pathetic coward.

>>14956237
And those standards are...?

>>14956241
I will not engage with people who misrepresent me. That is a waste of time.

>>14956255
And yet here we are.

>>14956076
Protestant theology is no theology at all.

But that pic is mostly ok. Jesus loved everyone. He commanded you to be like him: love and forgive your neighbors .

>>14956240
You’re acting as if you have a right to know my beliefs. Guess what, you don’t. I make that decision. I decide whether or not I disclose them, based on my assessment of whether someone wants to actually engage with me in a serious manner. Disclosure of my beliefs is not a universal right, it’s a privilege that has to be earned, and memelords don’t get to enjoy that privilege. My beliefs, my rules

Guénon dismantles this perfectly but instead of actual guénon discussion we have to tolerate the presence of dumb fourteen year olds spamming him incessantly, so I'll pass and just give a heads up to those actually interested.

>>14956292
>You’re acting as if you have a right to know my beliefs
lmao I'm not acting as if I have a right to anything. I'm simply calling you a coward because you too scared to defend your beliefs. You are full of assumptions, constantly biting at literally anyone curious enough to enquire. You spit nothing but bile and then immediately get all defensive when people want to know what kind of a belief system would tolerate a person with such a shallow and disrespectful attitude towards other people and other belief systems. I am not a memelord, I have done to insult or antagonise you, yet you continue to react in such a petty and insecure fashion. What is your problem, anon?

>>14956292
You are a very special boy aren't you anon?Everybody wants to solve the riddle that is your mind, but only a select few get the privilege.

>>14955975
Nah, you fucks destroyed half of them in my country, after our ancestors had worked so hard to fashion those glories of civilisation... sucks desu

>>14956292
>I'm going to shit up a thread and make it all about myself and muh super secret club despite modesty and piety being valued traits in a majority of religions
You are self-indulgent, self-important and utterly ridiculous. If there is a hell, you are likely going straight there. Regardless of what faith you are, the sheer amount of arrogance you possess would be considered by the standards of any faith.

Highly localized? It changes with geographic location?

>>14956272
You're right about protestant theology being shit. God doesn't hate but fags, but fags clearly hate God. We should love them, but their degeneracy should not be tolerated.

>>14955474

>I am so fucking racist I've gone full circle and want white people to die
that's pretty goddamn hilarious

>>14956666
Checked.

>>14956723
I dont give a shit about 'white people', I have no fucking bond with that group whatsoever. They can all die I dont care. I just want the fucking subhuman narcissists that populate the US to see what happens when their gibs run out and they get skinned alive by arabs, chinks, and latinos who dont give a single fucking shit about their whiny complaints

>>14956745
Dude. You need to take a couple deep breaths. I know what you're feeling is intense, but that's the inherent dissatisfaction with realizing that you're being used and devalued in an unsustainable capitalist society. Make yourself a hot drink, put on a good album, and you'll feel better.

>>14956666
Checked with the caveat you're forgetting to forgive, as part of forgiving is an equitable loving despite trespasses. You can't say "yeah I love and forgive" then immediately charge into persecution for a person's being and actions. That is not love. If they have sinned, God knows and will judge in his time. Who are we to judge before God?

>inb4 but muh society muh order
The Church is not a servant of the state.

America was fucked from the beginning, because American religion is based on Quaker extremism. It's a fear-mongering, ignorance driven parody of itself.

>>14956792
America was founded by masons.

>>14956759
No i dont give a shit about capitalism and its alternatives.

I just want to see Detroit and Africa be cut off from all aid and starve and kill each other back into the stone age they belong in

>>14956759
Does your autism really not allow you to see anything other than through the filter of your warped understanding of economics? Marx himself was not an egalitarian and he had no patience for races of poor material for his vision.

>>14956094
Whenever someone on 4chan posts a basedface react all they do is show everyone else how deeply compromised their sense of their own masculinity is.

>>14956759
>but that's the inherent dissatisfaction with realizing that you're being used and devalued in an unsustainable capitalist society
If what you are saying is true, the last thing I want is to consume until I feel complacent.

You gotta be calm to plan the revolution anon

fpbp, still reads perfectly today.

It all started with the KJV

Weird way to name the 1054 Schism.

>>14956765
What I said is still applicable. Hate the sin, not the sinner.

>>14957083
>What I said is still applicable.
Nope. What you said advocates an unChristian, judgmental order that demands "justice" over mercy. Exactly like the Sanhedrin that Jesus triumphed over.

>>14955688
They're already in heaven?

You are all so fucking bitter all the time
Seriously bros what the fuck
You could be enjoying /lit/ but instead you're all insuring each other, to impress whomst've?
