>Well you're definitely one of the undeserving Christian.
How can I be, if I'm not even christian?


Not interested in science, fuck materialism and nu-atheist metaphysics, they make no fucking sense.
Sell me something good


God or no God, it doesn't matter too much. Just not something Abr*hamic or overtly Hindu/Buddhist

Dude, it seems like you need to start bare bones at Philosophy and build your way up. It takes years to make sense ofjp these things.

>adds nothing of value to the board
If people actually answered my question, it would be the most useful thread on /x/ right now
>poltard confirmed
Haven't been on that shithole of a board in years


>one good thing
Not enough, did you remember the incident at the end of numbers where god killed thousands of his own men with locusts because 'they weren't ready'? Like why even train the cunts if you're gonna fuck it up that bad that you have to kill thousands of innocent people just because of your own shortcomings


Have been doing that, and it has been quite rewarding. I wanted an entry into the spiritual world to complement the work that I've put in with philosophy



Based and thank you again. Four or so decent posts this thread, lets bump these numbers up!

Hey Op, happy to answer your questions. 
A lot of the Old Testament delt with a 'jelous' God. 
I imagine he got tired of all his sheep wandering astray. There was a giant flood around the time of Noah, and afterwards, a Rainbow, to signify that He would never again destroy the world by water.

The New Testament is totally different.
There is a reaon why there are still Old Jews, and Newer Christians. That is why it is imprtant to distinguish between the two. Because when the Word became flesh, Things changed. The whole equation changed.

But us humans having free will has never changed.

Okay, so basically gnosticism? I haven't really ventured into that side of things but I could give it a shot
I do definitely have hesitations about the new testament, not only have I organically grown a deep hatred of modern christians (who usually almost solely rely on the new testament for 'guidance) due to quite recent and also old experiences, but I'm just really sick of all things abrahamic. I've moved on and I never want to go back.

Not that guy, but I've been in your situation before and gnostic texts really opened my eyes to how complex spirituality can be. Too many religions try to sum up the meaning of life as,' think good, do good, be good, feel shitty all the time, then die and get good stuff,' but gnosticism turns that on it's head, basically telling you it doesn't matter what you do because our universe is just some inbred deities vain attempt at bettering himself and the real architect of reality is gonna straighten shit out in the end.
