I'm traveling in Toulouse and reading up on its history in regards to the cathars and my dear god, do they sound like medieval SJWs.
>They believed that genders weren't real >they thought penis in vagina was oppressive >the real world is a lie, it's your feelings that matter >achieving anything in the real world is a sin because it's just the devils illusion >reincarnation is constant therefore everyone is an otherkin
And this was in fucking 1200! If the papacy hadn't exterminated every last one of them in the fourth crusade how fucking crazy would Occitania be in 2016? They would make Sweden seem like /pol/ in comparison!
The wise Mother Church rightfully cleansed the Earth of that abominable sect.

Tfw the Albigensian Crusade actually happened
It feels good
Leo James
yeah because a secret society of murderous little boy fuckers who control the world is so much better
Chase Perez
Are you talking about the Freemasonry?

They believed spirits were genderless, because they are formless and immaterial. Therefore reproductive parts don't exist upon them. In the material world, they believed that you had to be reincarnated as a man first if you wanted to break free upon death.
The real world isn't a lie. Its a material construct of the Demiurge to trap the divine immaterial essence within, thus removing it from God, which is the sum total of all immaterial formlessness.
Achievements made in life aren't evil if they strive to bring one closer to knowledge and God. Only things that propagate more material things are evil.
Reincarnation happens because the divine essence is trapped in the material prisons until it can be enlightened enough to escape and return to the formless immaterium that is God

Spotted the cathar

They still believed women were inferior. Some Cathars thought women couldn't leave the material realm and must be reborn as men to do so.
Otherwise this parallel is bullshit. Cathars were a hard core cult who organized effectively and took their teaching seriously while sjws are just whiny brats. The closest parallels to Cathars would be modern apocalyptic cults, the sorts that commit mass suicides because they believe that Aliens are going to take their souls to paradise.
Landon Rivera
This is more logical than any religion nowadays and you can't disprove it. The dualistic system based on two equally powerful deities with creative abilities acting as polar opposites trying to nullify each other in the the cosmic battle manifesting within each individual's soul is logical, easily comprehensible, hardly falsifiable and overall just well-thought out religious concept. If you actually read up on the cathars, it's really difficult to comprehend how meme cults like mainstream Christianity and >islam came to dominate the world.
Landon Reed
Legitimately good theology
I'd join them if they were around
Jacob Thomas
they were good people
David Nelson
you got it all wrong. they were just a peaceful dualist revival movement and were burned to ashes with their history and beliefs by the catholics. Man, fuck the catholics, self-contradicting pope worshiping monoist cunts. Hope you not a catholic, OP
Matthew Garcia
>it's really difficult to comprehend how meme cults like mainstream Christianity and >islam came to dominate the world.
It's because due to their belief in the evil material world, the Cathars didn't believe in the reproduction and their members solely practiced anal sex instead of vaginal. Therefore they didn't expand in numbers.

It is Gnosticism

Some cathar poetry
My lady Carenza of the lovely body, please offer sisters your profound advice, and since you know what's best, tell us precisely what todo. You know. Your ways embody all ways of woman. Please say: shall I wed someone we know? Or stay a virgin? I've said that would be good. But having kids—what for? To me a marriage seems a painful bore.
Camden Sanchez
This and The true red pill is that the brutal survives. Pacifists that mean well and want to help out get murdered by opportunists who are then rewarded with pussy and money.
The good side is that it is also possible to be too brutal (see charles Taylor)
Jonathan Johnson
Lady Carenza, I'd like to have a man, but what a penance when you have a clan of brats. Your tits hang halfway to the ground; your belly is discomfited and round. My lady Iselda and my lady Alais, you have youth, beauty; your skin a fresh color and you know courtly manners; you have valor beyond all other women in your place.
Nathaniel Walker
Hear me. And for the best seed from a cod, marry the crown of knowledge, who is GOD. And you will bear the fruit in glorious sons, saving your chastity like married nuns. My lady Iselda and my lady Alais, remember me and may my light transcend all fears. Please ask the king of glory, when you enter heaven, to join us once again.
Dylan Taylor
Btw Cathars and similar heresies weren't so different from Mendicant orders like the Franciscans. The basic idea is the same: fuck society, reproduction, material wealth and titles, I'm just going to go give up all of that and contemplate on spirituality all day, find inner peace and get my ticket to heaven.
Heretics just took this a step further by completely breaking off the Church structure and adopting strange doctrines. The center of the Cathar movement, the Perfecti were basically a Mendicant order who were followed by a bunch of ordinary folk who really admired them for their piety. Orders like the Franciscans were also very popular with the ordinary peasant btw, small folks really had a thing for ascetic religious leaders (and probably saw the bishop dressed in velvet and gold a hypocrite).
Landon Baker
Yes. And it baffles me that some national socialist writers have taken their hatred of Catholicism so far that they have actually taken the side of cucktharism.
Easton Stewart
To be fair on the face of Christian values, they are called to reject the material world and all it deception for the spiritual one and union with God.
So those peasants were not necessarily wrong.
Isaac Peterson
>Catholicism was so retarded and nonsensical they couldn't even stop a bunch of extremist hippies from spreading all over without heavy persecution and mass killings Made me ponder
Ayden Brown
So peaceful that the crusade started as a reaction to them butchering a bishop.
Ryder Ramirez
There still some around
Andrew Myers
Cathars are bro-tier
Camden Bell
If SJWs are your bros...
Asher Turner
>Becomes murdered due to a poltiical dispute with a non Cathar >It's Cathars fault Have Catholics developed their own form of taqiyya?
Benjamin Jenkins
This
Isaac Smith
What if they did? Too cucked to handle it?
Adam Watson
>I got no proof so here's a what if What if the Vatican invented Islam and used it to destroy the eastern Churches?
Isaiah Bennett
Cathars are gnostic heretics John 1:14
Caleb Adams
>small folks really had a thing for ascetic religious leaders I guess that's one of the reasons why eastern europeans love wise, teaching hermits so much.
Brayden Murphy
Didn't the Cathars die out because their beliefs prevented procreation since they taught that bringing souls into the material realm was an immoral thing to do?
Henry Parker
That would have been the ending if they weren't exterminated first
