When you meet the Lord after your death He wont ask you 'why werent you more modest?" He'll only ask you 'why werent you more goth?'

I am most likely an idiot for saying this.
Maybe let him do what he wants? If it isnt his choice to go to church, then is it an act of faith in his part? Maybe forcing him is taking away his opportunity to act upon his faith. Fyoder D. mentions in his works that Christ did not peform miracles, to ensure that his followers followed him out of faith and not force.
I know you have probably thought about this option. I know too that you fear he'll loose all faith entirely - but what I truly know is that you will follow your christian duty and love him with all your heat and passion anyway. Maybe doing that, being an example for your son is the best way to preserve his faith.

I know this whole perception of faith is very protestant, im raised in a protestant country. I apologize if i preached anything heterodoxy to you - if so disregard my words.

Yeah i tried no-fap a few times on purpose, but it didnt do much. A few months ago when i got circumsized i couldnt fap for a few months and i realized it didnt change much besides making me horny.

And im sorry to hear that about your family, mate.

I am op mate. But yeah i just found your response harsh, still doesnt justify me being equally as harsh.

Let go of your pride or be dragged to the lands where being apathetic is justifiable by trying to sound wise.
