What is some literature that will make me take the catholicpill? Don't just say The Bible. My issues with religion follow:

- Multiple religions exist. How do you know you're following the right one?
- There is no way to prove that a God exists.
- If a God existed, why should he be worshipped?
- Objective morality is dumb

your questions are more to do with religion in general, not with Christianity in particular.

As for good Catholic books, you can begin with a basic bitch book that explains the faith in general terms and of which there are many. Try Catholicism for beginners on Amazon and you will probably find dozens of examples.

After that, get Confessions of Saint Augustine, then move to St. Thomas of Aquinas, or if you don't want to get that metaphysical, get a book from Pope Emeritus Benedict XVI or Saint John Paul II.

Why catholocism? It's a rather lacking tradition and irl it's filled with pedophilia.

Well, I'm a Buddhist. Other religions don't interest me as much.

1. The question is wrong.
2. This is true. Proof itself can barely hold the most mundane things, never mind God. It is also the case that the more immanent something is, like you being a Self, the harder and more awkward it is to prove it. Proof being best suited for unthinking, dead, all but nonexistent things, like Number.
3. He shouldn't. The choice is yours.
4. Objective EXPEDIENCE is dumb. Just because Morality is almost totally conflated with expedience by Man, it does not mean that it is likewise conflated by God.
