It's so nice to find all these Christian gentlemen on Veeky Forums. My name is Phillip and I used to be an atheist nihilist when it was popular on the web. But times have changed and people started to oppose atheism for some reason. So now I'm a traditionalist Catholic. Now I'm enlightened to the glory of Jesus, our savior grants me euphoria each wonderful day of my life. No, I'm not baptized yet but I really hope to meet more dear Catholics here (not any of those protestant heretics though, haha!).
Does anyone have any good recommendations for literature we can use to convince atheists to accept Jesus as their savior? I recently read Five Proofs of the Existence of God by Edward Feser and I think it could be useful, I've also been looking into GK Chesterton. Personally, I was convinced by reading the Summa Theologica where St. Thomas Aquinas proves the existence of god using the powers of reason. His arguments are literally indisputable, and all refutations of him by modern philosophers is simply because they didn't understand him properly like I did. I'm afraid these neckbeard atheists might not quite be up for the intellectual rigor of Aquinas, so I'd appreciate other suggestions.

You're smarter than this, you can make a better quality thread than this. I believe in you, user.
Josiah Allen
get lost dude
Anthony Rivera
Your fedoras are showing. Please remain on topic.
Julian Reed
I'm gonna bump this fedora thread just so people realize how cringey atheist memes are. This is as bad as /leftypol/ memes
Robert Cox
But I already know this is copypasta, user. Why do you suppress your potential so much?
Thomas Hernandez
Tip harder. Take your modern materialistic degeneracy elsewhere, I'm a Thomist. I suggest you read Thomas Aquinas, he literally proved God. I find it baffling how someone could be so backwards and ignorant in the current year.
Dominic Watson
Explain to me the distinction between essence and existence and the doctrine of analogy please.
Nicholas Reed
I am familiar with Scholastic metaphysics, thank you very much. It's not my job to handhold you, read On Being and Essence by Aquinas.
Ayden Barnes
You are a funny man. NPC, but funny.
Lincoln Diaz
fedoras have only heard of Augustine and Aquinas, and they still haven't read either of them, except some summarized sparknotes article about their "arguments"
Jacob Hall
How true, my Brother in Christ, the dogmatic arrogance of these poorly read atheists is absolutely baffling! They should be reading Scotus and Ockham as well.
Adam Kelly
I guarantee 90% of the "christians" on this board only became so due to a combination of extreme insecurity and the le epic fedora meme

>The quote This is perhaps the main reason I am still a Christian. The vileness of sin, the amount of deceit one puts oneself under to continue it; be it the ignorant (not nescient) or the malicious.
I've even pondered if I am the cause for all this. If I am the main character, meant to learn something out of this, as others can't seem to be able to. Well, beyond "anonymous posters" who may or may not exist in real life.

Repent and and you may still absolve yourself of your sins

Christ is the salt of the Earth. For it to spread from Veeky Forums across the globe, burning reddittors, sodomites, tumblristas like this, though. Christ is freedom, because denying Him results in permanent bondage. And you do it to yourself, too - a level of punishment only plausible from an omnipotent source.
Nathaniel Morgan
You know all those other cultures with thousands of years long religious traditions? They are only under the influence of demons, their entire society is a lie and if these heretics do not repent they will pay for their sins in eternity. For it is only Roman Catholicism that is the true faith, and it is only by perfectly flowing the rules and guidelines of the Catholic catechism will they attain TRUE freedom. For we are traditionalists who submit to the papacy on all matters of authority and our Church has remained unchanged since it was founded through the power of the Holy Spirit.
William Ward
Say it again, my Christian brother! Freedom is slavery. Amen.
Tyler Flores
>Freedom is slavery. If your identity resides in denying something, it is equally tied to the subject as those worshiping it. However, you won't be able to feed off its fruits.
Lack of categories and preferences is not freedom. It is equality.
Alexander Turner
My spiritual brother, a friend of mine is from Kiribati. How may I convince him that he is actively denying Christ and is under the influence of demons. Please be prompt, his eternal soul is on the line. If he were to have an accident and die before being baptized then he may pay for eternity!

I'm actually not larping. Heck, I'm close to being a satanist myself. I just want to torture you fuckers for all eternity, digging hell even deeper and pulling you with me; for EQUALITY.

Phillip here. I'm off to confession now, I have committed a mortal sin. Let's hope I don't get in a car crash on my way there.
Easton Green
because you don't know why you exist, you rage at others who appear to know.
Connor Ortiz
There is a great plurality of reasons; but I want to put the puppy's face to its filth. Not so that it learns; so that it learns too late.
Kevin Reyes
>others who appear to know Nonono.. Ignorance; willing lack of knowledge, is a horrid thing. I wish others would react to it. By react, I mean fix it, so that I don't have to. Sloth rears its head - all I had to do was think about it. Ha ha... I was almost ignorant myself. You'll find pride and lust, too, but no jealousy.
Parker Flores
faith is a prerequisite to understanding and knowledge, for humans.
if you don't have faith in your senses, you can't know what is sweet or bitter, what is circular or square.
if you don't have faith in your reason you can't know if a triangle has 3 sides. If you can't have faith in your intuition you can't know if you persist from moment to moment.
if you can't have faith in others you wouldn't know that antibiotics can cure diseases, and that arsenic is deadly.
Elijah Gutierrez
It is fully knowing, intentional sin I struggle with. I already know what awaits them. I still want more suffering to befall them. I know what it means for the beast to slay the harlot; I also know what it means to suckle her bosom; take a loan, watch Hollywood movies, watch porn, say 'the Jews are God's chosen people', give them political power etc.
The harlot controls through the primal urges and base desires; the beast. The beast will grow bored, it is not a machine or a statue - it doesn't want the same old boring stuff, it doesn't want to be controlled. It is not civilized, and the base desires for carnage and dominance will kill the harlot.
My anger was taken from me for a year. It was to show me why I shouldn't... I am obliged to God, myself and everybody near me not to be swallowed by wrath. I could see my taint in others, ugly reminder. I took steps in mending them. But now it is back. Either I was deemed strong enough to persist through it, or to make a choice. /x/ read my aura, said it was pitch black with white outline, with a hint of blue.
>if you can't have faith in others you wouldn't know that antibiotics can cure diseases, and that arsenic is deadly. This hits me for some reason. I've been stunned for a while now. Whatever it is, thank you.
