Caged I have decided to turn to Christ.

No, I'm not going to convert.
Specially because I'm defined by the fact that I cannot be a christian.
There's also the fact that 99.99% of churches are corrupt. They've either bent over backwards to the woke mob. Or they're child molesters. Often both.
Neither am I going to do some new age BS.

But I did the math.

I will rope soon. And while I don't think the arguments for god made by believers hold any weight, that isn't accounting for cosmic arguements.

I come from a religion that takes karma very seriously. They think whatever good or bad you put into this world will come back to you, one way or another. For the longest time, I've dismissed these as ramblings of malnourished Indian ascetics hallucinating in the forests. Infact, I still do.

But there is some thing Nietzsche said which has better recontextualized things for me. It is that live your life as if you would have to live your whole life again and again, forever.

And that makes sense to me. If nothing else, that makes sense.

I'm someone who has a strong sense of right and wrong, and this led to me being a liberal in my youth. I used to stand up for women and minorities. But women and minorities can stand up for themselves.

I've chosen Christianity in particular, because I've found that not only do my secular values have roots in christianity. But those who leave their religion of birth and become christians, often lead the most fulfilling lives. They always seem the most happiest, compared to Muslims, Hindus or Buddhists. Infact, converts to Islam are just low IQ blacks who convert "because sneako converted", or angsty edge lords who want to own it to the establishment in some way (despite islam being one of the most protect things on the planet), while converts to hinduism are traumatized women and new age hippies, and converts to buddhism are larpers, nihlists and pseudo-intellectuals.

It is a shame that I cannot believe in God the same way humble christians do. But one thing I do know is that I'm tired of being angry, horny and traumatized. I just want to be happy. And taking Nietzche's advice to heart, I'm going to live the rest of my life, as if God were real. Even though I'm agnostic about it at the end of the day and advocate for state atheism.

To me, this doesn't mean going to church or converting. But I ask myself, will the strong devout christians who built this world, like Thomas Aquinas, given what I know of them, approve of my actions. Honestly, the worst of my cardinal sins is that I'm a porn addict. And that's something I'm going to reduce from now on. I'm gonna delete everything. It will take a while. I've started being kinder to my parents because I know I won't get to be with them for long.

My life feels so unfair, and I used to think I would rebel against God, if he existed. But I now realize that he would be God, and there would be nothing I could do.

Maybe I simply wasn't strong enough, and deserve to burn in hell fire for all eternity. Life is shit. I don't get why the after life would be any different.
 
If God is real, would he throw people who are already suffering into eternal torture? It doesn’t seem like something a loving God would do.

God doesn't "throw them in there", they choose to live lives without Him (subsequently suffering through that decision from that lack of goodness) and they therefore choose hellfire, because hellfire is the state of the immortal soul without God, and salvation the opposite. God is both "loving" and "hating", with either in perfect righteousness since He is the standard for morality through being the Creator of all good. For some reason, people don't seem to understand that. He did not gift Sodom with beautiful flowers, or the disobedient Israel of the old scriptures with wondrous prosperities, nor did He curse us, His children, with a lacking of His grace, instead blessing us through the Christ, which is how we are able to enter the heavens and be with Him. He is just through His perfect essence, and so He enacts divine justice to a perfection beyond our varied standards of human justice.

I guess I can understand that. Can I ask why you believe that Christianity is the one and only true religion?

I personally find the prophecies fulfilled by Christ that are written in the Old Testament (see the prophecies of the prophet Isaiah as one example), alongside the miracles and teachings of Christ that we can then read of in the New Testament, to feel "truer" to me than any other religion (there is not a good word for this feeling besides me finding them to be "truer", they simply resonate with me in an indescribable sense to the extent that I've found these teachings of what I believe as the word of God to be reality ever since my eyes first traveled the pages of the scriptures. I have a belief that this feeling is my soul's grasp of the Holy Spirit that God has granted me through His great grace, which I feel nowhere else but within the faith of Christ), and I believe that the Almighty guided me to this belief through my birth into a family with a simpler understanding of the teachings of Christ, a childhood groundwork for my pathway to understanding God, and later through my own personal enlightenment that has furthered my comprehension of my soul and its relation to God through my own studies of scripture, which I have found to then fit around various truths of my experiences in the world. (For additional context, I am a Protestant currently in study of Orthodox Christian theology, I'm restricted by my location from understanding a denomination in person any better than the church my family attends, which is Baptist, and so I remain a Baptist in spite of my disagreeances with Protestantism and Baptist teachings in multiple areas. The best spiritual label I can give myself, as such, is simply being a "Christian")

That’s actually really cool. Thank you for explaining. I am hopeful I can have a revelation like that someday.
