Yes, but "rewarded" is relative. The ultimate reward of Christianity, after all, is union with God and delight in his presence, which is the summit of all our joys. Any other reward is merely to facilitate this, through the various ways in which one person differs from the other.

Also, God sometimes answers prayers in ways other than what the supplicant has in mind.

I can whistle to the birds and they will respond, even mock me. This is what Henry David Thoreau was intimating with the loon on Walden pond. Or what The Koran says when it exhorts birds for supplicating to God but opening its wings when it flies. Or how the trees move. They are all emblematic of God.

Everything these days seems too carefully placed. Like people want to hide a facet of reality or mask a force. This force is pure evil. And it’s currents will surely be destroyed.

As you read, you learn more about God, and realize that we have made little progress in the last 100 years and much regress. This is why you’re seeing a backlash against one of the most speculative branches of academia to exist: Darwinism

I grew up similarly, it took a while for me to grow tired of the constant respect and 'honor' given to me by my peers and leaders - it was all so empty, it was a life mapped out and given to me a priori and I could see my future in that of the leading waves of generations, from the highest honor, leadership positions and the eulogies at their burials, to working adults piously serving the community and raising the next generation, to my path, each step worn deep and sure, to education and marriage.

A happy life, sure. Stability and security with the herd, yes. But it just feels so inorganic when a living ideology just carries you through life to death like one sitting in a raft on a slow stream during a cool spring day, awake enough only to taste the water with your fingertips and watch the sunlight move over the leaves. Following the leading generations at every fork and around every rock.

Honor is empty. Maybe there was true insight in that way before, true religious understanding, but I just dont see it anymore, there is nobody that I admire. Everyone has their secrets, their pain, i dont know. That might be just what it is to shoulder the burden of living in the world. Drug addiction. A lot of infidelity and unhappiness. Just too much pressure to keep a saintly face at all times really, and it is in that dissonance between the reality of constant hardship and unsurity where the dishonesty lies. Love is put away for the sake of fear, there it is - the most honest person that i met was a mildly uses whore.

Most Christians seem to feel like they need to pretend to be happy and never have any negative emotions, which is unhealthy psychologically, and makes them annoying to be around. They feel the need to act all extroverted and happy when I have no desire to act that way. In the limited interactions I have had with Christians they think I'm sad or depressed when I simply don't want to be like them and prefer silence. There is a cultural component. In my (indian/hindu/culture) the way Christians act is feminine and just plain weird. It's perfectly acceptable for an Indian to prefer introversion, silence and equanimity whereas for Christians you seem to feel this need to express everything like a homo.

I've met some Christians who act the way you describe but also plenty who don't. I am extremely introverted, for example, and often prefer being silent to talking. I think you are probably right that it is culturally, with western and especially American culture valuing a certain degree of boisterousness and optimism which I don't think is really grounded in an actual Christian worldview. There's no need to pretend to be happy or to deny that bad things and negative emotions happen.

Perhaps mysticism is not for you. The scholastics may be a better fit if you seek rationalism. I'm not familiar with the writings of Indian Christians but I'm sure there are works from the St. Thomas Christians that might seem less foreign than those of medieval Europeans

Your "ancestral religion" is poorly developed shit followed only by an extremely uneducated and unsanitary group of people. The fact that your grandpa followed it doesn't change its simplicity and inability to push civilization forward in the way the Abrahamic religions, Buddhism, Confucianism, or Shintoism have

Being able to "push civilization forward" has little to do with truth. Christianity and Islam were successful because they were good at coercing the slaves to do what the people in power wanted.

It's waht the massive volumes of Christian philosophy and literature, along with the prosperity of Western civilization and government over everyone else tells me.
Don't you think it's funny a tiny little Christian island held onto your entire country for so long? Clearly your glorious ancestral religion is better.
>>10888540
I'm not even bringing truth into the discussion. I'm just pointed out that Hinduism is a terrible religion even from a pragmatic perspective.
>Christianity and Islam were successful because they were good at coercing the slaves to do what the people in power wanted.
This is also an extremely infantile view of history, but even if you for some reason believe it my criticism of Hinduism stands.

anything that is neither beautiful nor logical is worthless, you don't interest me if you can't think or express. You do neither, you wail and whine, you appeal and moan, you criticize and mortify. Useless! Christfaggotry is disgusting
>I mean, what?
doing exactly what you're doing, being passive-aggressive and feigning advantage, he is TELLING you what you are, you insinuate. Masculine Vedic Religion, Masculine Egyptian and Greek religion, Feminine Semitic and European religion.
>this is incoherent
its not at all, Christians are fake friendly, they constantly wail and cry, they talk nonsense about mercy and piety, they appeal to people's weakness not their strength. Weakness, but not as a kind of strength, not as a method, like Wei wu wei from the noble Han race, no you use weakness to reduce people to SUBMISSION because you're slavish, Jews enslaving feminized Steppe people.

you don't think very much I can guarantee the Hindu and many Pagan LARPers think more than you. Christfaggots cede their rational faculty to their spirited and appetitive faculties.

Not to defend the token angry East-raving schizophrenic in this thread (there's always one, isn't there?) but most Westerners who pursue Advaita Vedanta are typically exceedingly educated, or at the very least above average in studious activities.

Politics is irrelevant to truth. You sound like a Muslim claiming Islam must be true because it's the fastest growing religion. Having a lot of kids and forcing people to adopt your culture doesn't make it true.

feminine social signaling, shaming, group tactics, but you're alone with me. no one will help you. if you can't render beauty or truth into the world you are essentially dead to me already. I have no use for you. Christianity is ugly, its irrational, and it has nothing to do with mysticism. Christian mystics are a miracle and they are the only Christians worth allowing into a good society.
>autism is bad
lol'ing at you normalfag
>>10888561
Buddhism and Hinduism by definition would have the higher iq converts as they have significantly more complex systems of metaphysics and epistemology. Buddha did cognitive psychology, Advaita Vedanta is all mysticism in one school and touches on most non-materialist philosophical ontology like Heidegger and Nietzsche along with the Materialist Vedantists who anticipated atomism. christianity is fucking retarded, its nigger tier.

I understand having the occasional emotional outburst and getting mad, and personally I find spiritual people who try too hard to seem friendly and inviting all the time to be somehow anemic and disingenuous, but if you're this consistently angry and vile all of the time then it really does convey some deeper things going on with you, whether you balk incredulous at the suggestion or not.

I'm not perfect either, mind you. Nor am I going to pretend to be. But you're really talking like you've cracked the code when you seem palpably unhinged.
