Who is the greatest Christian novelist (I mean novels with Christian themes)? My vote goes to Dostoevsky

[Anonymous No.22152957]

>I mean novels with Christian themes
That's pretty much all novels ever written in the West. Maybe a better question would be best novel with unapologetically overtly Christian themes (and even then, limit it to a certain century or even decade)?

Clever move on this woman's part. She whores on only fans and plays the part of Mary Magdalene when she's in her prime, then when she starts to age she moves to Christian simps and adopts the image of the Virgin Mary to appeal to the religiously oriented men.
As for your question, C.S. Lewis.

Almost impossible he could have conceived of not being Christian.
>Dante, Einstein
Both could be considered heterodox and undogmatic.
>Shakespeare
His life is so poorly documented it would be difficult to make substantial judgements on this.

Not profoundly intelligent.

It seems reasonable that given their interests that they would likely want to know as much as possible about modern physics (a topic that was the central focus in their lives) and society, it would be more likely for them to question Christian faith. Obviously claiming certainty one way or the other would be unusual here.

The difference is some people realized it was an embarrassing fad/intelligence LARP and put away their fedoras. The legacy of New Atheism is pic-related--bisexual furry rape/cuck fetish porn. It still manages to draw midwits who expect you to be impressed by the intellectual superiority it must take not to believe in Santa as an adult; LARPing along with New Atheism in current year instantly outs you as a tranny and/or retard.

It’s so crazy how you retarded faggots manage to fall for erotic role playing shit. There’s about a zero percent chance what was claimed in that screencap happened and about a 110% chance it’s some guy bearing off to the idea of an idealized catholic woman’s purity being defiled. Also women don’t usually get pregnant after one hook up. There’s entire substrate of cuckold fetishists online who write this stuff as a form of erotic role play. It blows my mind you retarded fags can pick up on it. Is it your Asperger’s syndrome?

It's a tactic used by older roasties who employ an alternate strategy once their sexual attractiveness starts to diminish with age and their preferred options begin to dwindle. They think that becoming "born again" means that their sexual history doesn't exist and that they deserve a good man who will treat them like a virgin while simultaneously not placing natural, wifely expectations on them.

It's a shameless tactic that women are exceptional at because grace is cheap and the current gynocentric social order. It's a foul blemish on the body of Christ and proof for the argument that converts should be tested before they can claim the Cross for themselves.

right, and they all larp as catholics now or whatever, because that's the next fad. literally the same demographic. it's mind-blowing that you freely admit that all it takes to make you switch your fundamental perspective on the world is a trivial amount of social shaming. like, literally, you saw a meme that said if you don't believe in god you're a dork in a silly hat and you instantly started believing in god because you didn't want people to think you wear bad hats. unbelievable.
