There's an interesting read I once found on JSTOR titled Nietzsche's Critique of Truth by Ken Gemes (found on libgen as well). It a nice read on the stance that you're proposing. So I understand where you're coming from.
But I believe one shouldn't embrace completely a belief that world is merely material, even if it appears so. Purely pragmatic approach rids person of seeing the reason in existence. "If there is no higher purpose — even if the purpose is only the reason for one to sustain the process of living — why bother?"
Therefore, one must not "choose to be silent", but instead "choose what to say", otherwise there is no meaning in a purely materialistic world driven only by one's animal impulses.
And, because of the reason described right above and because I am able to contemplate the origin of first principle, I conclude that idealism is simply necessary for one's life. And it is out of this that I reason that materialism, as a belief, — a stance against idealism, — loses against the said idealism.

A good definition I once found:
"Subject is the carrier of action"
From above we conclude that object is the receiver of subjects actions, or rather it is an entity subject's actions fall upon.

Subject - the carrier of action.
Object - the receiver of action.

Did you read the preface tho?

It's Sunday and it's advent season. Give me the most Christian books of all time.

I'm open to Biographies, prayer books, doctrine, poetry, apologetics, classic fantasy with metaphysics in them, etc.

Try to convert me.

Okay so I asked some questions about hell on r/truechristian today and I was baffled by how they simply ignored my questions and started quoting random Bible passages. Basically their argumentation consists of: God is always right so shut up. It's stuff like this that really repels me and it's the main reasons why I don't go to church or hang out with other Christians. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed my little blog post.

You know what stops me from being faithful Catholic? When I hear about people I respect (whether they be celebrities, historical people or people around me) not being a virgin or heterosexual or divorcee or whatever personal flaws they have, I unwillingly start to judge those people and feel incredibly anxious about these people going to hell and sometimes thought I'd go for them. I even sometimes looked at kids and thought they would better die off than grow up to go hell or grow up like me. I even sometimes judge Christians for thinking they delight in others going to hell while they don't, even Catholics). I really try not to judge others and kinda took it as my mantra but it's mostly automatic and not even mostly my fault since I suffer from severe chronic anxiety and I also judge myself for this. In fact it's one of the reason I left church altogether a while ago because it tormented my head so much and was afraid of being someone like Martin Luther (he also had some kind of mental illness) but still felt that way so often despite the fact that I wasn't even religious.

What a fucking joke

>kek lmao, you can’t comprehend it bro. Just be yourself bro (Unable to admit that Satan forced his hand, and is afraid of contradicting himself)
How are you supposed to take this hypocrite book seriously?
