My wife is discouraging me from pursuing a degree in theology

Wondering if this is one of those times I should listen to my wife or absolutely not.

5.5 confirmed. Perhaps a 5.0 but I don't want to be too harsh on her since she went through a lot like we all did. Not a saint I found nudes from back in the day on her Google drive and also a dude with a horse cock. But according to my intelligence inquiries she appears to be clean presently

You should lean your wife out for the summer to show her who's boss.

To learn the truth about theology. I read a few books on it and it's radically different from the things 99% of Christians believe and aggressively affirm and repeat like the brain dead cattle they are

Self made picture I think. I noticed all those pics were from before I knew her so I decided not to give a shit. Women are naturally sloots it's not a revelation to me

You don't need a degree for this, and spending a lot of money on one seems like it's a waste, which is probably her issue.

If you want to pursue a career in something theologically based, that's a different story, but pursing a degree just for general interest is an insane waste of time and money.

It doesn't cost that much. About 900-1000 euros a year and it takes 10 years. So about 10k

Then people will need to stfu when they question my authoritay on matters of God

But my wife's views on religion are simply:
-go to church every week without fail no matter what
-read a number of specific psalms every day over and over again while not reading or knowing anything else in the Bible
-not give two shits about the opinions of the people who wrote everything else it's just their opinion
-believe
-shut the fuck up


Pretty based actually but also pretty ignorant and misguided. (I could be wrong here though) (not likely though)

You ain't gonna learn shit from a degree. If you want to learn, go help the poor.
When it comes your time to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with the fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song and die like a hero going home.

I'd rather not

And you are implying that the average shmuck knows as much as a theologian about religion. Delusional idea. The average person doesn't know Jack Shit

That describes most people brah srs. That's just the way it is. It fills the need for community and to have hope in something. Which doesn't require deep theological study to do. In fact, your typical fundamentalist pastor would discourage you from going to deep into theology and tell you that "you just gotta have faith".

I would encourage you to not go down the rabbit hole SRS. Once you take the red pill, there is no going back. Take it from someone like CJ Cornwaithe, who deconstructed after going to seminary, which is a common occurrence.

Let me let you in on a secret. The theologists also don't know shit.

Didn't watch (yet?..) but I already deconstructed. I never was a true believer, I am just desperately hoping to find a loophole to eternal life. That's all I ever wanted. I want to ask a million questions to theologians and that's never going to be possible so the only solution seems becoming one myself. But it would probably be real hard to dedicate myself to that for 10 fucking years

I would discourage you from pursuing a degree, as universities are nothing more than useless debt traps and indoctrination camps. A degree will do nothing for you.

However, I would encourage you to continue seeking the truth. You’re fully capable of learning on your own.

But I really want to have that authority that comes with a degree from a reputable institution

Watched the video for a bit. I don't understand, he's surprised that you learn in school and not just be an insufferable KJV bible thumper?

It's also a place where 80% of the courses you take are just filler and useless for them to generate more money. That's literally what an "elective" is - here, take something random because we say you should.

I'm going to force myself to read academic stuff for at least 2 hours a day every single day. After a few weeks I will be completely depressed and forget about this stupid idea before starting it. That's the current plan. I don't doubt it will work flawlessly.
