I've been an atheist since my teenage and will never be convinced of a creation myth.

I don't care for the sectarian bullshit and profiteering of most Christian denominations.

However, the communities I most admire in the world, for their plain dealing, peace with the Earth and with their fellow people, charity, and simplicity, mostly profess belief in Christ.

Much of the literature and music I enjoy is from these sorts of Christians (French resistors, Latin American freedom fighters, United States labor rights activists) if not from atheists in similar causes.

How can I join them in abandoning worldly distractions if I have forsaken God and God has forsaken me?

But you're convinced of the uncaused creation of the universe, that's a creation myth

How are you abandoning the world if the world is all you believe there is?

I was once an atheist like the OP, and am now a saved Christian, try to approach them with some kindness before assuming it's just a troll. This placed used to be warm to possible conversion, this placed converted me, and it's sad to see it lose itself to Image board jadedness.

>How can I join them in abandoning worldly distractions if I have forsaken God and God has forsaken me?

The world is "conquered" because of Satan, not God, he hasn't forsaken you, there is always a choice with God. I would say that you can't really "join" a Christian group, and simply not participate in what they believe. The peace they feel, and the kindness the can have, it comes from God emanating from their soul. You can "enjoy" a Christian party/event, eat the food and socialize but you will only see what is at face value.

My advice would be find a pastor (or someone who has studied the bible/theology at an university level) you can talk to, or that you enjoy talking to, and get rid of every atheist question you have.

You can't just join comfy christian communities without being a part of them spiritually my dude, that's a bit like having your cake and eating it too. The good news is, God has not forsaken you, he still loves you and wants you to come back to the flock. It's not too late to repent, and I'd happily accept you as a brother in christ if you decide to do so.

So you recognise the deterioration of this fallen world and the existence of our Lord, but even so why do you reject Him? He never abandoned any of us, it is some of us that turned back on Him even when He is facing them.

Sorry, OP. Communism is incompatible with Christianity.

Also this thread belongs in the politics general

God has not forsaken you. You need to come to him in so that you may be at peace with him and yourself. As for your question, you cannot become a Karate master without doing training. Likewise, you cannot abandon worldly distractions without the Holy Spirit guiding you. Accept Christ and come join us.

Watch some videos with Father Lazarus. He is a former atheist professor who had marxist leanings who became a coptic monk who lives in a cave. You can find God, no matter how unlikely you think it is. Open your heart and he will find you.

Converted is not the right word, i was raised christian, and stopped trying to understand it because the only people i could talk to about it were angry Catholics. This board helped me to rekindle it.
