*forgives your sins*

*forgives your sins*

Thank you Jesus.

Thank you Jesus. Love you.

>get thrown in hell forever
>you are forgiven
what does punishment look like?

Lots of weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Thank you, based God.

>raised catholic
>went to church and to catholic school where we studied the religion to the point of having to know the ten commandments in order as well as prayers in latin
>even hated "cool" masses and thought they were tacky, stupid, and disrespectful even as a kid
>grow up, and eventually stop believing in that
>go through edgy teenage atheist phase, then calm down to just sort of an uncaring agnostic
That being said, I still feel like I am a cultural catholic, as cringy as that sounds. And in Catholicism, you cant leave the church unless you are excommunicated, so in the eyes of the holy see, Im still a catholic. So this makes me think that religion leaves such an imprint on your outlook on life that even if you stop believing in the "magical" or supernatural parts of it, you still believe in its overall philosophy. Is there any more intelligent and articulate writings on this idea?

why does the desert produce people who think they are god

its literally only in the desert that you have all of these prophets and sons of god and gods messengers

meanwhile in europe and china you didnt have any of that schizo shit

there are scientific principles of reality we still do not know or are even able to notice, and there is some sort of extra dimensional portal in the middle east that gives people with the proper intellect the ability to see into other dimensions

Take a walk through the desert and perhaps you'll become a prophet too. Deserts are special places, sensory deprivation, madness and inspiration are two sides of the same coin.
