You just go in and tell the priest what you did wrong. The most awkward part is telling him you've masturbated and watched porn. I don't want to jerk off just so I don't have to go confess that.

>> No.10604104

There's a very persistent meme that the Summa is what you should read from Thomas, but the real discovery is that many lf his shorter, non-theological works are great philosophy and very worthwhile. His opus is huge though so I'd probably say read De ente et essentia and then pick up some kind of Selected Works. I attended a college course where we specifically analysed his philosophical writings and it just reinforced my belief that he was a genius desu.

Stopped watching there.

Yeah the Aquinas' proof is a classic. You can't really get past the fact that the motions all of our atoms have, must have a direction as well. Not only that there are laws for the universe rather, but that it must be DIRECTED in ways, otherwise if the laws are what we perceive them to be, we would all be reduced to a chaotic mess of matter. From this it is derived there is an INTELLIGENT creator who interacts with our world on a daily, hourly, no minute-ly, no infinitesimally small magnitude of time-ly basis.

Yeah TJ sucks, I used to listen to him and smirk snidely at the atheists, but if you think about the problem for more than two seconds, you realize how stupid atheism actually is.

>>10604559
After encountering medieval theology as an undergrad, I always took some pleasure in contemplating that our continued existence depended on the active will of God, and that, if he ever decided to no longer support our universe's existence, it would utterly cease to be.

I realize it might sound creepy when put in those terms, but for me, it was a sign of his incredible love.

>> No.10604668

>>10604640
Exactly correct. There can be no other option. It doesn't sound creepy it sounds like you have faith. The sad part is, is that people like this (>>10604595) exist in reality who have no idea how to refute these ideas so they posit them as crazy. Scientific dogma really is getting too much.

But no, that line of reasoning is not Medieval theology in any way. It was brought forward by many thinkers down unto our time. I was just reading Rousseau and that is the exact argument he uses to justify his faith: that the universe had a force, and has a force concurrently, and that this force is benevolent because it directs the actions of humans as well.

Did he actually phrase it in that manner? Pretty based if he did, or maybe he's tired of being inundated with that type of confession and has slacked his restraint. Either way.

How does it go if you recognize your sin and try to correct yourself, let's say indefinitely: do you still have to "confess" for your past like that, even if you've made personal repentance already?
