What do we do about it? I'm persuaded of its necessity to deter degenerate behaviors and Muslim immigration. But when I ask how we slow or stop mass apostasy, Christians want everyone to start believing again. That's what their heart wants, to be surrounded by like minded believers so it feels real. I understand that, but it's unworkable. You can't close pandora's box.

When I say this, they get upset and angry, accusing me of being jewish or black. So I post a photo of my pale hand touching ham. They say "then denounce the Talmud", so I do. So they say I must be gay or trans. It just continues like that. No constructive brainstorming gets done. I want to help save an important white cultural institution but these people are their own enemies. They won't be honest with themselves about why people are leaving. And until they are, they won't be able to devise any workable solutions. That's what Jordan Peterson was attempting, to recontextualize Christianity in a way where it can be said to be true in some meaningful sense, but that didn't go well. What's Plan C?

The bible has a lot of good stuff in it, but my impression of religion is that they don't go into the good stuff, they just do superficial singing and tell everyone jesus loves them; they are self righteous with a veneer of virtue signalling.

You could overhaul it.
>accept that it's just a text written by people doing their best to describe things that they experienced
>it happens to have people that communicated with one or two deities
>re-evaluate the merit of each book of the Bible
>admit the modern translations have flaws like "meek" having a completely different meaning, "pharmakeios," etc.
>set new principles for interpretation based on points above
>have programs to teach people koine and hebrew
The Catholics are lapsing in their discipline with Latin. There are so many opportunities for protestants, but Christianity in its modern form is billed as a big shortcut to an eternal reward, and not a path of discipline. That's the appeal of Christianity though, nothing hard is required of the adherent. Fail and fail and just ask forgiveness.
"Rules as written," that's what I say.

Despite this, more people are identifying as spiritual and Bible sales have increased dramatically. Putting two and two together, it's clear that people have spiritual beliefs but aren't satisfied with Christianity. It's clearly flawed in its iteration. How many supposed "apocalypses" has a 30-year old person lived through by now?

Jesus promised to return, and did, and took John somewhere else casually. "Behold I dwell here with men...(present tense) These words are reliable and true." God promised he wouldn't destroy the entire world again anyway in Genesis, but people forget conveniently.

I didn't know this. But I know that in general they're emphasizing Latin less and less. I'm biased since I'm proficient in Latin and the nearest Latin mass is 90 minutes away. A 1 mil+ population city nearby and no Latin mass extant. Sad!
I was at the Holy See a few weeks ago actually, just sightseeing, just stood around the square.

I like your edge but Zoroastrianism is a legitimate and very ancient religion still with scattered adherents. I like them on paper, the whole wizard aesthetic came from them. I read the "three wise men" that visited Jesus were Zoroastrian.

I believe mostly from a practical point of view. I attend mass because it's a good rhythm/routine for me, and it helps the community by keeping a complex institutional block against degeneracy. I say prayers because I believe it focuses my mind and goals and desires, and that's important. I believe the canon is an important symbolical metaphor from which we can all learn. But I don't take it very seriously; reality is that we can readily observe. Even history going back 200 years is uncertain let alone 2000. But i digress

Religion is useful, on the social level and individual levels, i.e., it's conducive to growth. Maybe start going for that angle. The problem is people love muh symbols and muh ancient esoteric knowledge. That's why it ought to remain more like Plato's noble lie. Hth op

I see I misunderstood your post. I've actually played with a similar thought, that Genesis describes events that happened before writing was developed, so the details of the story are garbled beyond recognition by who knows how many generations of oral tradition. Divine inspiration in that view protected the essentials, but the story as written can't be called historical. I haven't decided either way about whether or not to accept that position though.

That isn't gonna happen, because Jesus was a cult leader who repeatedly predicted parousia within the lifetimes of his contemporary followers. The authors predicted mass apostasy because anyone starting a new religion can guess it will end someday and attribute that to the end of the world, to spook remaining believers.

We need a plan that doesn't totally hinge on your beliefs being true, otherwise it's gonna fail

Maybe they call you a Jew because you think and act like a Jew, just consider your transparently insincere concern trolling.
The problem is in God's hands, and westerners deserve everything that will fall upon their pretty empty heads. Read your Old Testament to see what happens to those who turn away from the truth, to grovel after strange gods. God turns away from them, and those gods devour them. Meanwhile, a faithful Christian has a happy fruitful live. Things couldn't be better.

Everywhere they go they destroy the established order and hierarchy. Then they leave. They go to south america to convert the catholics. Once the pastor or church dies off they dont care and those people become secular or communist. Protestants destroy everything.
