Thoughts about the Antichrist.

interesting topic... aka "serious conversation number two"...
well... I'll try to make my modest contribution...
Neo, you need to be less emotional, stop using insults, and be less fanatical. Be more factual.
Exz, don't shout, don't get on your own nerves. You're not entirely right either...
so...

Neo, a question for you... how did you come to Christianity? 80% of you were baptized. in childhood. maybe you said it, but I might have missed it in a lot of text... so. it was at the initiative of your parents. your consent wasn't asked. now tell me, Neo, do you pray every day? do you observe Great Lent? do you read and reread the pages of the Bible? do you wear a cross? do you go to church?
your judgments... lack specifics (I've used this word three times today). take your example...

a military regiment went to war, and before that, they made the sign of the cross and prayed. Everyone returned from the battle alive (this is not just an anecdote).

this... hmm. a bad example. everyone made the sign of the cross before the war, but not everyone returned. do you have an explanation for this? maybe they were sinners in life?
okay.
witches. "who ate 40 babies each." this is pure nonsense. along with Baba Yaga, Baba Yaga, Domovoi, and Barabashki. these are just scary stories. do you believe that if you don't sleep, Baba Yaga will come for you and eat you? I don't think so.
"woman is evil." well, you know... people are different. who is more evil - Stalin, or an ice cream vendor? exactly. the only "root of evil (association, hehe)" is lust. the root of sin, vice, and depravity. it doesn't matter which way you look at it. as you know, there are also incubi in mythology, in addition to succubi. and do you look down on women in life, based on this statement? I understand, of course, female logic, blondes, etc.:), but seriously... it shouldn't be like that. it's just disrespect for a person.
"atheists are bastards"... you know, Neo, I'm barely holding myself back from giving you a downvote. moreover, I gave you a plus to encourage you to correct yourself. but I'm telling you. what right do you have to call atheists that? you shout "don't interfere in a faith where you don't belong," but you yourself are criticizing the faith of atheists (which states that there is no God)). you can't do that. never do that again, got it? you could end up in a bad situation. I'm not threatening you, God forbid, I'm warning you. you can't throw words to the wind. you can say anything on a forum, but in reality...
you have to respect atheists. understand? Christianity does not encourage squabbles and insults, swearing and bickering, hatred and scandals. an atheist, Neo, is not a synonym for the word "heretic."
Exz...
Christianity is not evil. it's just a religion. religion is invented for... hmm... people with weak minds. people always need someone to protect them. at least in their minds. they need someone they can pour out their souls to, someone who will fully understand them, because even to your best friend, you can't fully open your soul. but you can to God. he won't laugh, etc., he will help you instead. these are the beliefs. many people feel better after praying, as if a weight is lifted from their soul.
I respect the church as a very effective system for controlling the minds of citizens. yes, citizens receive bonuses, what kind - I said above. but the church is not at a loss either. the church has almost always had maximum power in the world. in many European countries in the Middle Ages, a ruler could only go to war if the church gave its approval. because it has too much power.
and you know what's the funniest thing? the church will always exist. absolutely always. people will never look at the world without the prism of covenants or services.
never.
and atheists will always be there, and heretics.
I believe in the Holy God-Emperor, every day I catch and send at least a dozen selected heretics to our inquisitorial torture chambers. before their death, their faith becomes simply unshakable. I'm not even talking about all sorts of repents. throughout their agonizing remaining life, they hear litanies, catechisms, hymns, and chants in their minds, and before their eyes, a vision of the golden face of His Holiness passes. every day, hundreds of psykers are brought to the God-Emperor, who is dying on his Golden Throne, as a sacrifice. this strengthens the mental power of the God-Emperor and feeds the Astronomican, the beacon that guides ships through the Immaterium, the Warp. only his mental power allows people to fight Chaos, the center of evil and hatred, and more or less protect the Imperium of Man from the attacks of numerous xenos, heretics, and mutants, demons, and psykers affected by Chaos.
and what? that's my faith. you don't believe? then come here, I'll burn you at the stake. in the name of the God-Emperor.
