Be me ftm 19 and theist

just because they dont exist for you doesnt mean they dont exist for me
god guides me to do good, and i can always disagree with them. i know theres no proof of god, but theres also no proof that there is no god - there is proof there is no christian god, but there is nothing disproving a higher power in general

Reminds me a lot of her

yeah i heard of that. about the priest thing, i think i might just become more active in church in general
not because i believe in christianity exactly, but because i want to raise awareness of how full of shit the institution is and how far from god we are
yea yea ik

cute nun

adding on, this is a messed up thing to say. a nun is a woman who chose to be celibate, and calling her cute is disrespecting her choices. do better anon

ive just started watching the video, and im just going to say i wont detransition. ive known i wasnt a girl since i was 13, started transitioning socially at 17 and started testosterone half a year ago. god supports me. im not a catholic though. i might be christian, but i dont agree with everything in the bible. i can sense the lack of god in it.
i hate organized religion in general. i believe everyone should have their own god

god supports me

Holy based dood of arc

Read this if you want to understand.
The fact is, there is no way for a trans person to be involved in the catholic church without basically being forced to choose between your trans identity and your religion.
You will never be accepted as a priest, or a man, in the catholic church.
This path leads only to one place - becoming a bitter, dysphoric, miserable, right-wing grifting detranser and pumping out a dozen babies despite how much it makes you want to kill yourself.
There are plenty of examples online, like here:
I would urge you to place your own well-being first. Give the proof I linked at the top of this post an honest read, without just ignoring it.

sorry for the yap session but no, christ doesnt call to you. god does. christ died for us and thats all. he was a child of god and we failed to love him. i believe everyone is jesus in a way
humanity will only reach divinity when no one will have to die because of our hatred

Please stick with the whole "not lying" thing. Angels love that, trust me.

feel God speak to me

get on meds schizo

I'm gonna be real dood, I think it's time to lead the Kingdom of France in a holy war against the British.

i will read it in a minute, im replying while reading something else and dont want to start something new. dont worry, i would never betray my identity for the church. as i said, im not catholic, and being a woman would make me 1000 times more miserable than being a priest
god gave me the ability to shape my world, to love myself and change my body if it makes me not miserable. betraying myself would be the real sin

but because i want to raise awareness of how full of shit the institution is and how far from god we are

This is protestantism

christ doesnt call to you. god does

he was a child of god

This is heresy. Barely even christianity.
Wiki says the only denominations close to this are Unitarians(libs), 7th Day Adventists (cult) or Jehovah's witnesses (cult)

What's stopping you from being a sexy evil priest if they won't let you be a regular one?

Personally, I'm basically done with Christianity. They'll say they're Christians and then throw out the most basic rule. Whatever theology is out there is the lazy feel-good version. But don't worry, if any of this is actually consequential then the implications are completely heretical to basically every extant branch. Shit doesn't matter, then you die* (not die*).

Op here, had to change devices because I've decided to go for a bus drive
Even if i am schizo, I'm not hurting anyone. I can disagree with God, but he never tells me to hurt anyone, nor myself.
I am aware, though protestantism is still organized religion. I would rather abolish it
I don't care, i don't belong to any denomination. I only let God guide me.
Changing my gender is heretic enough
Haha maybe I'll consider that :)
Though, they probably won't let me preach if I do that

It's almost as if humans were created to enjoy life but idk
I don't like Christianity either, but for now the bible is the closest thing to what my god says to me (i won't say what he communicates with me because i dislike influencing others when it comes to beliefs)

im ftm, i would love larping as a priest but its merely cause im a volcel and like the aesthetic but lack any form of faith in god so i saw go for it, just dont do inmoral or questionable things as you are basically our embasssador. hope this goes well

Higher-ups bother me sometimes but I fly under the radar ahehehh

Like the aesthetic

Yeah the aesthetic is ungodly pun intended

OP I'm confused, there you say you're non-denominational whereas in the OP you say you are Catholic

won't lie if someone asks

NGMI

there will be an "apocalypse" but it's only Earth's life that will perish, as the cascade extinction event we initiated obliterates everything. the universe won't even notice it; its scale is inconceivable both in terms of space and time. the time spot that yahweh earned, in the grand scheme of things, is less than a water drop in the ocean.

yeah likely 8 years after youre a confirmed catholic. is op a confirmed catholic and what is his saint name?

My god agrees with most things said in the bible, and I'm pretty active in my local Catholic community, so i say I'm Catholic to keep it simple
But i am non denominational, yes
Sorry for the confusion :(
Wdym?

I am one :)
I was confirmed as a Catholic at 14 and I chose the name Innocenty (my church was kind enough to let me choose a man's name even though i was still a woman back then)

have u seen conclave?

Yes i have :))
My best friend is very autistic about it and kept begging me to watch it and now i see why

in 1479 at the behest of his patron, Pope Sixtus IV. The book contains the following account of the female Pope:

Pope John VIII: John, of English extraction, was born at Mentz (Mainz) and is said to have arrived at popedom by evil art; for disguising herself like a man, whereas she was a woman, she went when young with her paramour, a learned man, to Athens, and made such progress in learning under the professors there that, coming to Rome, she met with few that could equal, much less go beyond her, even in the knowledge of the scriptures; and by her learned and ingenious readings and disputations, she acquired so great respect and authority that upon the death of Pope Leo IV (as Martin says) by common consent she was chosen pope in his room.

As she was going to the Lateran Church between the Colossean Theatre (so called from Nero's Colossus) and St. Clement's her travail came upon her, and she died upon the place, having sat two years, one month, and four days, and was buried there without any pomp.

This story is vulgarly told, but by very uncertain and obscure authors, and therefore I have related it barely and in short, lest I should seem obstinate and pertinacious if I had admitted what is so generally talked. I had better mistake with the rest of the world, though it be certain, that what I have related may be thought not altogether incredible.

stop posting spoilers for conclave

I have heard about her
if you're saying I'm like her, then I'm flattered

???? I didn't post any spoilers for it
