It's to cope with the void that the lack of faith creates (it doesn't work)

>>21501252
You kill yourself then

>>21501341
Is there really such a void?

One reads because it's something that is enjoyable, it has nothing to do with faith.

I have literally never met a BASED sedevacantist tradcath who ever read anything about antiquity. They'd vaguely mention how "Greeks" and "Romans" had the best political systems but when pressured to give examples, they shrink and say nothing. I even asked what any one Greek system looked like, since I wondered if he meant the democratic city-state of Athens, or the warlike Sparta, or the failed experiment in Syracuse. No answer. When you bring up how the Romans fell not because of "decadence" but because of overuse of land and resources, rather than any ruling class being debauched, they don't know what you're talking about.

Not everybody can break their brain and fall into jewish inspired pedophilia and sexual repression, the irony is that most religiots are created by poor parenting; very few people raised outside of those negative influences end up creeping to the cross, with all that mumpsimus and sumpsimus*. It usually comes after a life of colossal fucking failure upon failure upon failure, caused by their awful upbringing and pitiful society (no education, really).


>I see and hear daily that you of the clergy preach against each other without charity or discretion. Some are too stiff in their old *‘Mumpsimus’, others are are too busy and curious in their new ‘Sumpsimus’. Thus almost all men are in variety and discord, and few or none truly and sincerely preach the word of God as they ought to do. Shall I now judge you to be charitable persons who do this? No, no, I cannot do so. Alas, how can the poor souls live in concord when you preachers sow amongst them in your sermons debate and discord?

>>21503110
>sedevacantist tradcath
You won't, it's a contradiction in terms - although a cultural catholic who is thinking along these lines is at least starting to see the light. I doubt they'd take it to its real conclusion, given how much of their identity is based upon opposition to the protestants which.. is.. essentially anyway 'closer' to the truth than that heresy of the bishop of rome against the emperor in constantinople.

>>21501252
In 10-20 years, maybe less, you'll be able to swap "Christianity" for "Atheism" in this image. Fedora atheists and Trads are the same people.

There's no point in philosophy even exciting since it answers no questions. It's an autofellatio tool for pseudointellectuals.

Why do people view a void created by a lack of faith to be a bad thing? Such people, if they become theists, just presume that they aren't headed for eternal punishment at the end of their life, at which point they'll wish that atheism were true.

>>21503363

Why do all atheists have unresolved church trauma to the point where they assume anyone who believes in God must be Christian?

>>21503625
Most tradlarpers on /lit/ are Christians.

>>21503633
Well the bible does rule. I just guess it's more embarrassing to me to be a weird tramatized atheist than somebody all in to Christianity who kind of misinterprets it or is ignorant to other religious analogs for the same ideas.

another innocent victim of the christian hate-mob; some of the most proud moments of good living (masculine men and moral women) in later western society were orientated upon the fedora, but for the christian hate-mob it's either their way or burn everything.

>>21503770
Nah, it's a shit hat anyway. Only elderly people should wear it.

The brimmed hat died to the car seat headrest. That's why it fell out of fashion in the 60s and today the baseball cap is popular.

Religions are social technologies, much like ideologies. They contain wisdom much like the various philosophies and have features with positive and negative effects. Eternal afterlife serves as carrot and stick, in a classic behaviorist sense. The infinity of these rewards maximizes psychological impact. Codifying reasonable morals like don't thieve, don't murder, results in a more stable society at the margin. Though such a force is ripe for abuse by those who are wise enough to realize its a mechanism of social control.

Even if you're nominally atheist you may be dogmatically religious, as seen with marxists, woke progressives, accelerationists who have faith a better system will emerge, etc.

Personally I am sympathetic to the pragmatist school of thought, and view philosophies in terms of their effects. Judge them by their fruits. If the practitioners of an ideology are sickly degenerates, it doesn't really matter how much their ideas 'make sense'

>OrthoLARPer sperging
Frankly, I find TradCath, Orthodox and Protestant sperging on the Internet entirely meaningless, full of vitriol and idiotic; all of which are entirely against the spirit of true Christianity. You niggers aren't going to convert people on the Internet by larping. All you are doing is damning yourselves by not acting like Christ would act.

I wish christcucks understood that /his/ isn’t even a visible board because everything evolves into a theism pissing contest of conqueror and conquerored using the modern lense. This extends to probably every board. I wouldn’t be surprised if christcucks even post on /a/ nowadays.

>>21505024
Oh no. Atheists, Buddhists, Hindus, pagans and now Muslims do the exact same shit, where they think this board exists to vent about religon. This is a book board. You niggers aren't evem talking about books; all of you are just posting shitty bait regarding religion just to get validsted by some anonymous person on the internet. It's fucking pathetic. Grow up and find better ways and places to discuss religious differences.

Just become Orthodox is you hate the pope and love cringe e-larping so much.

I think it’s good to have at least a little spirituality, even if you just believe in ghosts and the afterlife it makes you more well rounded, as long as you’re not a crystal healing dumbass that blames ghosts for every sound their house makes.

>>21501252
I don't, and philosophy hasn't done anything, ever. It's a myth that modern math and science branched off from philosophy, and the fact that philosophy was mandatory study for thousands of years is why we knew nothing for so long.

>>Cult x is terrible

No. If it smells and tastes like shit, it's shit. You don't need to breathe in and spend weeks of your finite life huffing shit, then tasting a little shit, then eating and bathing in shit, to learn to like shit. Rub assholes with the high-class shiteatters. You can just avoid shit.

>>21501872
Sure there is.
But it only rears it's head occasionally, and if you cannot deal with it without religion, you're just weak and ill-constituted.
No shame in that - at least not until they start to insist that their ill-constitution makes them better, more pious, and greater, and use it as a club to beat others with.

I didn't say 'unpopular', I said that the demonizing of the imagery of the fedora has made emulation of the actually good masculine fedora wearers (i mean the culture from the 1940-1950) to be impossible, so there was no "frank sinatra" renaissance in social graces and good lovin' and so there was no second baby boom.

It's not entire, no, but it contributes, yes, to the overall shit culture and the fewer and fewer ways out of it. If the 'fedora image' hadn't been demonized for 15 yrs by a christian internet campaign against atheists (all unrelated even to the hat itself) then you'd probably still be seeing the frank sinatra kind of scene going on in the culture where it would easily surpass the other culture fads (wearing pants under anus, etc., wearing tennis shoes, wearing torn rags, listening to non-jazz blacks) etc.

>another innocent victim of the christian hate-mob

>>21505794
Fucking kek imagine being this retarded

>>21505013
I'm not sure how you arrived at me being an 'orthodox christian' from pointing out the truth about the bishop of rome and posting a page from Henry VIII and the Royal Suprmacy and Theology. If I was into reformed judaism for jews, I'd probably be in the CofE with my being a terror d'anglais.

You might also bomb yourself, btw, since your society has made you react in the way that you did; considering a simple statement of truth being "sperg", whatever that means.

True "Basileia Rhomaion" (i.e. imperial church, what it was in the beginning via constantine and theodosius and symmachus) doesn't have any doctrine really, least of all that anyone should emulate the jewish theocratic culture (all old testament stories) simply because we/you/i recognize jesus said some things we/you/i agree with about how bad the jewish theocratic culture was.

>Frankly, I find TradCath, Orthodox and Protestant sperging on the Internet entirely meaningless
I agree, probably Orthodox is just as weak. It's important to remove the cleric entirely and the pulpit so that nobody can come in between you and God and tell you, against Christs orders, to disobey Caesar.

>>21505796
fuck off christcuck, you're an incel and hate alpha-type men, is all. You hate the fedora not for atheism but because it reminds you of men from the past you will never be, with women you will never meet, and I suspect it's that simple why the christians attached it to atheism and demonized it.

I'm a trad Catholic and have hence met many in real life, but I have never met a sede and not one of those from the internet have a shred of intelligence. So yeah, it's not like it's odd you haven't met one of the few thousand people in the world, who move in circles you probably don't.

>all of which are entirely against the spirit of true Christianity
While they are obnoxious, let us not pretend like you understand what the spirit of true Christianity is.

>>21505887
eheehh maybe you're right about this, still the "sinatra" thing came from good and proper society before the urban hives became so bad; the opposition to prohibition, the music halls that existed after new deal, a lot of the early culture can be said to be wrapped up in the fedora/homburg image, way before it all went south - ha no pun intended

I mean, would you prefer, when you pass through the city as I sometimes do, to find the blacks of 1930 or the blacks of 2020.. obviously one is better than the other and the bad quality of one of them is because of the loss of the better qualities of the other, with one cultural set being replaced.

Headrests and Christians are to blame. The fedora is lost but we will avenge it ultimately.
