i think im like catholic but idk what that means
You might just look up a little bit about Roman Catholicism on your own. I'm not really sure where I could start in explaining it all, but, even doe I myself am a Protestant, if you have any questions about Catholicism, then feel free to ask and I'll try to answer them for you.

r u religous person?
Yeah, I am. What I will say is, you should try giving church and faith a chance for a good amount of time, both practicing your faith personally and among your church. It can help improve your life.

how do i get started master yoda?
Well, I'd recommend first going to church this Sunday. If you have a Bible, you can also start with a little bit of reading, or you could listen to it in audiobook form if that's also your thing, albeit you might not be able to grab as many details from it as you could if you just read it, rather online through websites like esv.org or biblegateway.com, or through any Bibles that you yourself have around physically. I would recommend starting out with Matthew, and then working your way through that book of the Bible before going onto other books. Matthew is the story of Jesus from the perspective of one his buddies. There are four of those perspectives, known as the Gospels. It may start out a little weird since Matthew starts by writing out who Jesus descended from genetically. This is mainly because it proves he was the Messiah (basically a guy sent down by God to fulfill a prophecy from the Old Testament, which is a collection of works from before Jesus' time) since it shows he descended from an important guy named David who the Messiah was said to descend from. But yeah, basically, go to church when you can and start reading some scripture. It can be really neat to read, and lets you learn about God, who will always care for you. If you ever do lack context for something, don't be afraid to look things up, either. You'll find you learn a lot more if you do some further reading about the little details that you don't fully understand.

/lit/ told me dat the bible was #1 book of all time i will read
do you have link of a pdf or your favorite physical version of it?
Here's a link to the English Standard Version translation of the Bible, starting at the beginning of the New Testament (stuff written during Jesus' life on Earth and after) with the Gospel of Matthew. If that website's format isn't your thing, I also recommend biblegateway.com. Here is their page for Matthew, it has a lot more translations to choose from if you prefer a particular one. The Bible has all of these translations because it was originally written in languages different to English, like Greek or Aramaic. As such, there's an abundance of different English translations to choose from. English Standard Version will probably be your best bet for now, since I think it's one that's simple and easy to read.

thank you for the bible kind stranger (always wanted to say that)
I'll find the time in my schedule to actually read it. I think both the lack of accessibility to it and also the volume of the text made it unappealing, but then I haven't looked too hard for it. Which translation of the bible do you prefer?
I prefer English Standard Version for casual reading (like if you're going to sit down and specifically read a whole book of the Bible), and Young's Literal Translation for studying and thinking on specific verses or smaller sections of text that I'd like to understand better. YLT is a very literal translation that takes the Hebrew or Aramaic or Greek that a book of the Bible is written in and writes it out in English just as it's formatted and written out in its original language. This can help for specifically understanding the intention, content, and meaning of words that one may otherwise have some struggle in entirely comprehending. It isn't as good for "sit-down-and-read" sessions, as some of the language can just sound weird when its transmitted in its original form into English, especially in some of the Old Testament books.
A little example on the differences of a translation like ESV versus YLT, just to show off what I mean with how it is. Taken from the first book of the Old Testament, Genesis:
ESV: In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth. The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.
YLT: In the beginning of God's preparing the heavens and the earth -- the earth hath existed waste and void, and darkness on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God fluttering on the face of the waters.
Keyed ‘Ring enjoyer.

So, English Standard Version for an overview and casual reading of the bible, and YLT for studying verses in more direct translation more or less.
I'll go read it then using the ESV. Thanks for the information.
