/jp/, given we rely so heavily on the interwebs and technology in general, to provide us with our VNs and loli doujinshi and whatnot, how do you think you'd adapt to having to live without anything more advanced than an electric light? I ask because I may have to join a religious order. (Yes, have to. Long story.)

Around three days, before you crack and go aggro on everyone.

About a month, before you get over the cold turkey.

Length of time varies depending on your daily activity, if your religion involves very fun activities like raping loli or if they successfully manage to indoctrinate you quickly you may never miss us at all.

Freeing yourself from physical desire or something like that?

I'd say try writing. Not much of a consolation prize, but with the power of imagination who knows? Maybe you can use this experience to stimulate your creativity and pen a bestselling VN in the future. By being sealed away from much of human society, self-reflection and steeping in your own mental juices can possibly do this to you. Then again, one may say the average hikkikomori would've done this ages ago, but hey, atmosphere.

No he didn't. You were just scared by the physical realization of your eventual death. You decided to become a monk because you think it gives you a chance at avoiding death by some measure, but really it'll just keep you from living, even more than 4chon will because you'll have people encouraging you to keep on not living every day.
Also, go back to /r9k/ with this particular kind of faggotry.

It's more than just crazy. Putting aside the fact that god does not exist (I SAID PUT IT ASIDE, KEEP READING) and that you're doing it for the wrong reasons, what makes you think you can even do it? What else have you accomplished in your life exactly? It requires a lot of work and study, you know: a tremendous amount of dedication. It involves trying to become a drastically spiritually better person so you can try to help people. It's probably 10 times harder than becoming fluent in Japanese as a second language, i.e. from scratch when you only ever spoke one before. You can't just throw your life away into the church. It's possible to fail, and likely that you'll do so from the sound of your selfish reasons.

Also, lol catholics.

I wouldn't write the guy off just yet. A man can't deem everything in the world that gives him remote discomfort as some coincidence or illogical hallucination. Such would be delving into an escapist fantasy be it to save pride, run away from responsibility, repress memories, or some other selfish motive. All this behind a cloak of trying to redefine reason and ugly truth to form a self-created baseless self-assurance.
But such is part of the nature of humanity.

Now, now, now, I don't know about all that Christian stuff, but from my perspective that's really counter-productive thinking. Buddhism teaches us that the best we can be is ourselves. If Anon goes through with this because he wants to, he'd be doing it like any other life-process of figuring out what he is. It's like taking a shit or eating lunch, stuff you have to do sooner or later, at the expense of a deity; which is why we say that the pursuit of meditation is a matter of life and death, and probably also why the Buddha is regularly depicted as a shit-stick in Zen literature.

The explanation of emotional trauma and hallucination induced by severe brain damage is a logical one supported by medical science, I'm guessing. If he only now feels that he needs to join a monastery, then he's using it as an excuse to change his life based on views he already held before the accident. Even if he views that change as positive later, it would have derived from a self comforting delusion because his motivation would have come from a position contradicting empirically tested objective facts or from a redefinition of those facts to support a conclusion he desires, i.e. god told me to do something.

Well, one thing's for sure. I'm no judge of weather or not God actually gave him a vision. The most I can be is a mere devil's advocate. Though if I'm reading correctly (I blame my fatigue) don't we all try to "redefine" the facts to support our mantras, whatever they may be? Not necessarily in a grossly maligned misinterpretation, but definitely according to some interpretation. There can be more than one way to look at a piece of evidence, so judging an interpretation of it immediately as objective fact may not go as smoothly as one hopes without seeing from the other side.

Precisely what I'm saying. My application to the whole of mankind was on the intent of demonstrating how man is all on the same lowly playing field of idiocy. Twas under a belief that no one can flaunt some holier than thou attitude. This foolish practice isn't limited to some struggling fanatic so-called Christian. Secular science has had its fair share of instances as well, as humans so obviously reside on both sides of such a debate. Ergo the display can be seen twice.

and monks can't fap to loli? BS! There is no logical reason christians forbid fapping. The story of Onan was picked by St. Augustus (a man who fucked a LOT of women before he converted) to illustrate the idea fapping is bad without any real reason. God told Onan to fuck his new wife and raise a kid in his brother's honor to recieve his brother's inheritence. So Onan fucked her but pulled out and jacked off so he would have no kid and keep the inheritence for himself. God Killed him for that. Obviously fapping wasn't the sin it was not having the kid God told him too so he could keep his brother's stuff..
