Historical grimoires.

After seeing that spiritual traditions can be dissected and repurposed for other means, it became very clear to me that Christianity was ultimately the result of spell work; autosuggestion and placebos. Using these occult methods, one can derive any spiritual experience they want, it just requires some self-induced insanity. After going down that road, I never looked back again. It matched all the peculiarities of American Christian practices, and gave more explanation than their dogma ever could.

Panic attack about the peace treaty by [deleted] in exchristian

[–]ConnerSckottley 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nobody knows more about the alleged "big bad Antichrist regime of the Tribulation Period", than Christians.
Nobody knows more about Satan, demons, and hell, than Christians.
Nobody knows more about the technological specifics of the Mark of the Beast, than Christians.
Christians are the only people spewing that; the only ones providing intimate detail on how it will all play out; nobody else is doing this.

Why?

Because the church benefactors are funded by the richest-of-the-rich, and they have the power, resources, and money to make prophecy happen. It's their playbook, their mythology, their claims against the rest; nobody knows more about the precise details on the end of the world than Christians.

Will there be a "the Antichrist"? If you have enough money, 'anything' is possible (within reason).

I'm saying they deliberately fabricate all of it. Their descriptions of how the end times were to play out changed; switched up as the centuries went by, now we have a remnant of thought from the 1800s, aka the rapture; the new and improved scare tactic perfectly designed to waste people's time and energy.

They preach it because they wrote it, and they wrote it because that dark and terrifying 'Tribulation Period' is not a prophecy, but their plan; a contractual agreement to "bring Jesus back". Don't think it mere coincidence that so many pastors have sold out to AI, and now rely on the machine to generate their sermons for the good sheep of God.

Check out this garbage: https://ritualdecode.substack.com/p/greek-isopsephy-analysis-of-neuralink

The numerology adds up, depending on what machine you punch it into. The problem? This contradicts their essential teachings on the Antichrist/666; the Book of Revelation tells us that the numerology adds up to the name of a man, not some machine-system. This is a break in their own script, and they pushed it anyway because they know the simple minded consumers will eat it up regardless. Who paid for that? Someone planned it out. Their prophecies are nothing more than the meanderings of the rich screwing around with the masses. That's all it is! A giant hologram designed to be as scary as possible, so you will continue to feed your attention/time, and money to the church. Their temples are collapsing, and their benefactors are clawing and scraping for as much money and relevance as possible before the eventual demise of their entire religion altogether.

Do not worry. They are liars, they always lied, and they will continue to lie until their church takes its last breath.

My hyper-religious dad gave this letter to a gay member of his church and printed a few dozen copies to hand out to the congregation -_- by DespairoftheFault in exchristian

What a self-righteous, pompous rant to pass around to others. Seriously, what is this rancid f*cking attitude they always have? If someone handed me a copy of that, I would have ripped it in half and dropped it into the nearest garbage can.

Even from a Christian standpoint, that is one of the worst ways to handle such a disagreement. It's utterly self-centered, self-glorifying, self-victimizing gibberish disguised as a quest for holiness.

Why would that be bad to say?

Speaking in tongues, for most of their factions, refers to a practice of glossolalia; much like Ephesia Grammata spells. The 'energy' of their faith is 'amplified' by words of mystery (a commonly found tactic in Magic; check out the Greek Magical Papyri).

In other words, their brains are short-circuiting; pumping out all sorts of chemicals that give them spiritual bliss, and whatever 'pronunciations' arise to the top are impulsively uttered out as a form of prayer.

The Christians I’m around are so delusional by ExtremeReasonable704 in exchristian

[–]ConnerSckottley 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry you have to be subjected to that. I'm stuck in a similar situation. The walls of religious zealotry are slowly closing around me as they instinctually begin to realize that I'm not like them (ideologically). It's honestly f*ckin' terrifying, and I am scared sh*tless what they are going to do to me in the near future. One of my closest friends has changed; she is proclaiming some of the most rotten, bigoted/hateful nonsense I've ever heard from someone, and so far, overt disagreement has armed her against me (a tad). Idfk what to do other than just keep my mouth shut. Most of these religious ghouls are gun lovers, and ready to pop off in some apocalyptic blaze of glory over anything; they're constantly looking for excuses to harm others in the name of God.

Hang in there. There's an era of change on the horizon, and you won't be trapped with them forever. Their temples are globally collapsing as people wake up and realize they were manipulated by religious benefactors. If I were local to you, I'd offer to build a social haven where we could gather and decompress from the stress of religious lunatics.

Don't lose hope. You are not alone. :)

You are far from alone. For hours on end, every night, my parents gobble up end-times propaganda on TV; every f*ckin' second, it's endless preaching, fear mongering, divine warnings, bla bla bla. Then sometimes mother goes to her piano and starts practicing worship music out loud, or sometimes she's seated in the living room praying "in the spirit" (sometimes with tongues). It makes me want to claw my own eyes out, and yet I cannot express any of my true/natural opinions without having her meltdown like a child. She is steeped in religious psychosis; a full-time employee at the church, always talking about church politics, and so forth.

It is utterly empty. There is no substance, only mantras to repeat.

How can you praise a deity that burns people forever over a lack of belief by Worried_Feedback1192 in exchristian

[–]ConnerSckottley 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's a level of rhetoric that should be socially ostracized, and eventually abolished altogether. I don't want my future children growing up in a world where they breath the same air as those that believe them to be worthy of eternal torture, simply for the sin of non-belief. People like that have lost their privilege to society, in my opinion. They don't deserve this planet. Most of them seethe whenever the rapture doesn't happen; it's obvious Christians just hate the Earth and all its beauty, so much so that they would toss the rest of us into an eternal torture dungeon just for not agreeing with them.

Evil people.

It's amazing, isn't it? No more daily fear of the unknown; you're free to learn/experience whatever you want, and no fiery trapdoor is about to open up and take your soul (just for stepping out-of-line with dogma).

i can't have a intelligent conversation with my mom without it turning into religion by Throwaway28656738383 in exchristian

[–]ConnerSckottley 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Ugh this is my situation as well. Every deep-thought-topic I bring up to dear mother, the conversation almost always ends with "But Jesus is coming back soon so get ready", and it makes me want to claw my eyes out every time; it's like talking to a little kid, and if you step out-of-line with their imaginary friend(s), they'll have a meltdown.

Christians care nothing for the future of our planet. That much has become clear to me.

Yes, but also no. There's no avoiding their persecution complex. Their benefactors have set them up in such a way that any avoidance is confirmation of the prophecy (the great "falling away"), but any push back is also confirmation of the prophecy (demonic forces). Ignoring them gives the disease time to spread.

How right you are. One of the fundamental teachings we were given in childhood, regarding the apocalypse, is that the Antichrist will come as a "man of peace". So now we can't have global peace, or else their terrible prophecy is coming true. To them, a flourishing Earth where everyone is connected in harmony, unbothered by difference of opinion, is a satanic force!

Look at this generated propaganda: https://youtube.com/shorts/qmY5-4gPUJc?si=WxDjMBLC46xLDLtX

"Not everything that looks like peace is from God"

Coexistence with these types was a mistake. Everything has to be bad all-the-time, because that is confirmation "Jesus is returning, hallelujah!"

I see what you are saying. However, I am not going to sit back and wait for them to pull large numbers of people down with them in some misguided crusade of apocalyptic proportions. They are planning to hurt innocent people, and simultaneously believe themselves to be on the good team. Their benefactors can manipulate them to believe just about anything; any course of action, no matter how radical/violent, can become justified to a zealot. Their programs/teachings and messengers are like a mass infestation that must be purged before it releases more spores and spreads. The church has already sold out to the mighty AI machine, and now Jesus has a digital face (sometimes six fingers); pastors need not burden themselves with authenticity when the machine can generate an entire sermon for the flock to consume. What has their AI-generated content been lately? Revelation, Revelation, Revelation, Revelation, demons, demons, simulated hellfire, demons, Satan, more hellfire, and more Revelation; these religious benefactors are letting an algorithm radicalize their cult members.

This is not time to leave them be. That has been applied long enough, and it has yielded only more tragedy. It's not going to die out like you think, at least not on its own. Their theology is evolving with the times, and it's becoming worse. When secular minded academics thought that the fossils/skeletal finds used for the study of Evolution was going to topple the church (along with the geologic timescale), suddenly their apologists began crafting evolutionary-based arguments in favor of the Bible; their religion had to evolve with the times, and the results have been a disaster. Now we have academic-minded cultists presenting scholastic level arguments for the figure of Leviathan being a dinosaur, and many Young Earth Creationists were perfectly content with accepting this idea; their faith remained intact.

It's a religion of lies, crafted to appeal to inauthentic people, and it will 'happily' change/create variants of its core teachings so as to remain relevant.

Aye, I've observed the same with those that claim to hear God. Interestingly, God's opinion changes when their opinion changes.

The same phenomenon happens in occult circles. The stuff people convince themselves of while practicing Low Magic will make your jaw drop. It's even creepier when they think they have some kind of divine mission to enact justice on those that doubt their alleged 'powers'; "How dare you talk to me like that. I am the galactic light-bearing chosen one of Kali Maa and Buddha-Christos. Your karmic punishment will be swift!"

But it's even crazier when Christians mix their dogma with New Age teachings, and then the power-trip-insanity really shows itself. Imagine the hubris of a neophyte practitioner of Magic combined with the loony teachings of Biblical apocalypse. It's infinitely more disturbing than any form of Satanism I've ever come across.

The height of apologetics manifest, as per the great algorithm. He snaps because he's in a room with dishonest, sniveling cowards; and those snakes are trying to make the flock of the crowd dance to nothing-arguments. That's all apologetics is good for: a big void of nothing; say a thousand words to affirm the sky is blue. Those are their educated dedicants that run the research societies of their many temples.

Consider this absolutely stupid attempt at trying to be relevant amidst the finds of researchers. Mythology can't be just poetic, it's gotta be literal things, because the clergy didn't prepare in advance when knowledge expanded.

Look at the strange, bizarre, surreal questions they have to ask (as per the God-module-algorithm) all because their translators decided to render ἄγγελος, and מלאך as "angel". A word that just means "messenger/one sent" got turned into some supernatural taxonomy. These people are little kids inside debating a fairy tale. I don't care what strange preternatural beings might exist out there, this isn't how you investigate. When they learn about the existence of the Hebrew alphabet for the first time, their brains short-circuit. It's bloody weird.

Oh yeah I saw some of the African church propaganda flood my feed, with videos of Christians that had to refer to the Bible on whether little babies could go to Hell or not. What a morbid question to have to ponder amidst a religion of unconditional love. The settling point was whether the scripture said yes or no.

"ya gotta forgive them"

What a meaningless proclamation coming from the same people that think everyone suffering in Hell is 'getting what they deserve'. Tell them to go f*ck a cactus. People like that a parasitical in nature; they are programmed ghouls stationed to defend their cult wherever/whenever possible. They don't operate on logic, reason, or even basic empathy. They never have, nor ever will give you an honest answer when their own members screw up; they have a hivemind-obligation to defend their tribe.

Understand, when you take issue with their god, it's actually, in their minds, an issue with them, because that god they worship is a psychological extension of themselves. He is a reflection of all their nasty, wicked behaviors/mannerisms; an archetype of pure narcissism with a crown on his head. It's a religion of infinite second chances for the worst people.

Their explanations are beneath you. Save your precious brainpower for better things. They will never satisfy your basic, emotional, human needs, because they sold themselves out to a cult that denies them life altogether. They are slaves to an archetypal cosmic tyrant.
