What are some books to explain the rise of “religious” larpers in the modern age? There is a clear surge of people especially on the internet pretending to be religious, despite their clear lack of understanding or knowledge. Especially on this shitty anime website, you can see people pretending to be religious, and many others who squeal “BASED!” when people give off the aesthetic of being a religious radical of some sort. Clearly though these people are deep down atheists who are either larping for fun or trying desperately to convince themselves that they are religious.

Are there any books that might help to explain this? Is it a countercultural trend, a reaction to the overall atheistic strain in modern culture? Is there a deeper crying out for God hidden in their sad and self-deluded cries for attention?

>Either we accept that the Bible is the complete and total Word
The complete and total Word of... who? God? Christians do not believe that the Bible is the word of God. The Bible (and the New Testament in particular) is called "parakatathiki" by Orthodox Christians.

Protestants have distorted the message and the meaning of the New Testament, unfortunately. They say things like "every interpretation of the Bible is correct" which is simply not true. This is why Protestants frequently engage in silly practices such as "speaking in voices" or "being drunk with the Spirit". Reject Protestantism, Embrace Orthodoxy (or Catholicism).

Fuck the pope and fuck jannies.
Thank you.

Imagine thinking that part of being Christian is calling all Bible translations "trash", including non-English ones and including the original Hebrew-Hellenic Bible, except for one translation which is relatively recent in biblical history and only available to English speakers. Sorry, OP, but I think you should go back and read the good book.
