I see a lot of Christians online (usually trad Catholics or Orthodox) do nothing but spend their time on forums posting controversial memes, flinging insults at other Christians, and being generally uncharitable. All of this makes me wonder: if it weren't for the edgy community the internet provided them, would they be nearly as devout?
I catch myself doing these things at times and I can't help but ask myself the same question. Do you guys ever wonder this as well?
I figure anyone who uses Christ to further their own personal narrative - even if I agree with the narrative - is LARPing.
Yeah i used to be in my teens. Its just contrarianism for these people. Im sure almost all of the people here are just in it for the edge and being different even the mods too. Them being late teens and college kids helps my point.
I post here every day and have never been to Church once in my life, am not baptized and don't own a bible
Maybe there's a mix of impulses going on. It's not really fair to say that people who turn up here after being made into angry, wrathful and uncharitable people by the world, can't be given a bit of leeway as they are reconditioned into functioning human beings in Christ.
I personally showed up here after a pretty rough time, and I have of late forgotten my commitment to my faith because the summer break is here, so I've had to reaffirm it. I'm still a bit of an edge-lord but I try to keep it within bounds because it is unpleasant.
Anyway they've got rage to burn and some of it is righteous, so I don't mind. I do however mind people who insist others can never be saved, just because it starts a flame war. It doesn't even make anyone devout, it is just discouraging to see that kind of behaviour.
Then what are you doing here? I'd like to think you are just one of those people who has faith and no church, but knowing the world (and prejudging to a great extent), you're probably here to shill communism for Zig Forums
user, pray every meal and confess your sins to God, eventually the holy spirit will help you in a way that is unique to you. Being saved will bring you an unexplainable peace.
I think it's fun to LARP as a Christian. It makes my life less empty since I am a NEET who sleeps 16 hours a day.
Turn the LARP into reality.
I humbly implore you to go to Church, clearly if you enjoy LARPing as a Christian so much you are bound to enjoy being one. You crave meaning and purpose.
Please knock, and it will be opened for you. I'm saddened by how you have described your situation, and I hope you can change it. Go and fellowship with real people.
