Sounds like a based book

> I would rate this as very good for boys to cause them to open a bible and read. I have taught 5th and 6th grades at church for almost 10 years straight and love it...but am stepping down for a bit and see which direction the Lord has planned for me. What I have found in teaching is that in any lesson you pick something within that lesson that kids hang on to. We all are aware whether we like it or not is that they do like an element of the scary, unusual and gross. Rick Osborne knows how to address these areas...he was once a boy and remembers. I would also state that new Christians...even adults or adults who really have never gotten into the Word should not shy away from books labeled for children...even for girls when labeled for boys. Many adults are embarrassed to state they are not understanding...I see no problem for adults to read or be embarrassed in reading children's bibles or books for a place to start and understand.

I used to own this bible when I was in elementary school. Currently doing undergraduate studies in preparation for seminary. I wish I was better. Some days I wonder if non-existence is preferable to existence, if only because then I wouldn't be sinful. I hate myself for being so unclean. For personal reading, I read the ESV, but I'm studying Koine Greek for more advanced study of Scripture.

>Some days I wonder if non-existence is preferable to existence

I understand that self hate has lead you to think this way. Existence is preferable in all cases even if, Ecclesiastes 4:2 states, "And I declared that the dead, who had already died, are happier than the living, who are still alive". To live is to suffer, as we Catholics pray this world is a veil of tears but God gives us meaning and provides us reward for our suffering. To be in God's eternal embrace is better than to suffer, but we must carry our cross just like Jesus did, and we must endure hardships before we are united with our creator.

Keep going anon, keep enduring, never stop and never give up. You will be greatly rewarded.

Catholics literally cannot comprehend owning a personal Bible and reading it. This is understandable -- most Catholics are Irish, Italian, or South American -- where most of the population is illiterate.

You ever play the video game Blasphemous? Terribly off-topic considering the board, but it resonated with me in a surprising way because the developer studio was made up of Andalusian Catholics and lapsed Catholics (who still "felt" Catholic, since, as any Catholic knows, once you've been reared and encultured within Catholicism, you cannot de-Catholicize yourself), and long story short, the central theme of the game is a reflection of the inner turmoil of the game's makers, with exaggerated portrayals of self-mutilation and inwardly-directed hatred so endemic to Catholicism as a physically manifested force of evil within the game world, contrasted with the common folk who are largely positive portrayals of monks and priests and poor brothers - and the battle for the soul of faith, torn between a sort of almost idolatrous worship of self-hatred and an outward-looking love, provides the backbone of the game's story, which is told through item descriptions, gameplay sequences and character interactions in a manner very similar to titles like Dark Souls.

I'm way off on a tangent here - my rambling point, which the game is cogent to, is that - if your faith is such that your sense of filth and self-hate is a factor in it, then you should leave the seminary and do something else until such time as you resolve your inner issues. You can't guide people through the faith of loving God if you're centered in a place of hating yourself instead. God is mercy, not loathing. By loathing you indulge an inward-looking narcissism that draws your gaze away from God.

There's two cents from a random anon

I don't mean to have wasted your time, but the cause of my filth-focus is just my curse of OCD (and the lack of treatment since my parents never wanted me to take meds/seek counselling). I truly do enjoy religious studies, and the highlight of my week is usually the time I spend volunteering, but I keep getting into thought loops.
I really wish I wasn't born with this condition, since every winter I end up with dry/bloody hands from washing too much.
I'll check out Blasphemous, though, since it sounds interesting.

Why do catholics have all this weird guilt shit going on? My dad was raised catholic but I was raised baptist. He has all this bizarre mental guilt bullshit going on where he lashes out like a lunatic and then has a mental guilt-ridden breakdown when he realizes he's been a naughty boy and the priest isn't going to be happy at confession or whatever the fuck is going on with him

The baptist aesthetic is just good hymns, an old wooden church, happy people on sunday morning. It's all very positive, no trauma

Look up the Nicene Creed. Mormons and JW’s have some non-Trinitarian beliefs. Believing Jesus is divine is not always the same as thinking he is God, or that he is equal to God the father.
