Don’t criticize Pascal until you’ve actually read him. Atheists hate the wager, yet cannot name the book in which it’s found, and know nothing of its contents.

If you "start" believing in God, you lowkey already believed.

This desu >>11908076 I was 'le edgy atheist' in middle and high school but now in my early 20s I wish I believed in something but none of it speaks to me. If I joined a religion my belief would be inauthentic regardless of my desire.

Same for me. I was raised catholic but passed through a genuine atheist phase, and when i wanted to believe again, I found it to be impossible.

A church should be a place where a community gathers and lifts each other up, and share in worship. Your relationship with the Christ is personal and your alone. Don't allow someone of this earth to claim authority over this; for only you alone have right to this. The Christ's position is clear : Grace is given should faith be given. Do not fall for snake oil salesman who promise the gift of the love of the Eternal Christ should you submit yourself to their tyranny. See Acts 8:9-24, Simon the Sorcerer attempting to barter for grace of the Lord.

"Neither shall they say, Lo here! or lo there! for behold, the kingdom of God is within you." - Luke 17:27

Thanks for proving my point, retard. Atheists cling to ignorance and pride. Don’t respond to me until you’ve read Penseés.
