>I just wanna retreat to a monastery honestly

do it

>>699910

Btw I'm full of shit, by "in the past" I wanted to say that I still struggle with sexual sin myself, but I HATE it when people openly promote it and make parades out of sexual immorality and judge and spit in your face when you preach the truth.

>>699910

>arguing with infidels

Stop doing that.

>>699911

I've been thinking a lot and idk…

I need to get more used to the Church and with praying for the biggest part of the day, and attending both morning and evening services at my local Orthodox monastery.

I need to do these constantly and then go live in a monastery for a while to try out that life completely.

>>699913

I know anon… it's done me more bad than good. But it's like most of the people in my life, including my closest friends are all non-believers.

>>699917

Find new friends. Go to church regularly and attend church functions.

Let me help you put your abortion stance in a better light…humanity today lives in a state of (relative) peace that is entirely based on how many nuclear weapons we are pointing at each other. In other words this is quite literally hell.

So with that in mind…1) how can anyone with a righteous mind put a child into this scenario and 2) why would you take the only chance a child has to escape this hell unscathed?

>>699913

This. But don't forget that talking about politics with females is even more retarded.

A woman's world is her husband, her family, her children, and her home. An unmarried woman of voting age (that's not a nun) is a non-entity. She has no place in the world, and her opinions on any matter are useless, especially when it's political matters. Steer clear and keep your sanity.

>>699966

… I bet women are just crawling all over each other to get with you.

>>699969

Considering I'm not a degenerate and am married, I'm happy they're not. That said, based on your response, I know your options are likely very limited, if they exist at all.

This world is pagan, OP. I don't know what you expected.

>>699934

From what I can tell, you're literally advocating sexual immorality (having sex without intending to procreate) and murder of the unborn baby, in case a mistake happens and your mutual masturbation turns into life.

Even if the world is winnie the poohed up, how do you, a believing Christian, reconcile this with Scripture? Because your argument so far is really weak.

>>699918

>>699950

Thank you anons. This is very good advice. It's really tough for me to be able to put it into practice.

I don't really meet people at my Church since I go alone. I should really start going to some events and stuff like that and try to group myself up with at least one person and then be introduced to more people.

>>699966

I tried writing a reply to you several times, but in the end, in the way you worded it, you are somewhat correct.

>>699910

I know that feels bro.

Best thing is to just quit the argument if you see that opposing party just isn't "getting" it and both of you are getting heated.

Lol. Just argued with some atheists on 420chan myslef, but I reached a limit where my capcha was forced into audio check which doesn't work for me. Wasted an hour for literally nothing. Feels bad.

>keyboard warrioring

Ah, the sign of a fresh convert. Commendable, but as you said, very energy-draining. Pray on what God would have you do.

Trust in God's plan and pray more, argue less. To be a positive example of "the other" in society is better than trying to directly convert people. You have to let your light shine in the world and warm people like a lamp, not set them on fire with a flamethrower of truth, if that makes sense.

>fresh convert

I get sucked into it every few years and waste all week on a dumb conversation. I've learned there's no point in arguing with someone who doesn't have the same authority (God's word).

I don't bother arguing with people online. People can be three times as obstinate online compared to offline.

> quite literally hell

No it isn't dummy. Hell is unimaginable eternal suffering. Even the worst suffering on Earth pales in comparison to it

> how can anyone with a righteous mind put a child into this scenario

> why would you take the only chance a child has to escape this hell unscathed?

If you don't want to have children, don't have sex. Murder and fornication are sins and not acceptable regardless of whether you think they might bring about a good.
