It's not that Christianity makes people bad or good. We've all met both types under the same fauth banner.
In its modern iteration its become a refuge for screwups. We are seeing the phenomenon of the whore to trad pipeline.
This is a product of the forgiving nature of it, which attracts bad people. Some of the worst people in the world are Christian. They'd be Jewish if they could but it has an ancestral requirement. The positive messaging isn't taken seriously. Has it ever? Like when were they doing it “the real way” its always the no true Scotsman. That was predictable.
Believing ppl are tortured for infinity because they don't believe your dead guy on a stick came back to life after being a human sacrifice to his dad, so that he wouldn't just burn us all, is pretty insane to anyone from the outside looking in. Then they have symbolic canabalism and the whole baby penis cutting thing...
Ultimately it's to award themselves for obedience and fry everyone else, meanwhile they can absolve personal guilt for wrong doings by asking forgiveness to their hands.
If you were to design a religion for psychopaths the only way to top Christianity would be to add racism to it too which would make it Judaism.
Islam is better but not by much. I dream of a day when adults are just responsible and deal with problems without appeals to supernatural authority or explanations that involve wish making or the un-understandable plan of an angry and egotistical deity.
I think religion stunts growth and in the hands of an idiot it weaponizes stupidity into moral indignation with a halo.
I had Christians say I'm going blind as a punishment from God. Others thought prayer could fix it. The second group has good intentions at least. But it's still a harmful way of thinking to put false hope in the invisible man. The only thing that's going to fix macular degeneration (which affects Christians too) is science.
So thank all the non-believers studying their asses off to find physical solutions to physical problems. And the religious people who doubt just enough to not really rely on wishful thinking.
I'm sick of watching kids die. And don't lie to yourselves. It IS the Christian Zionist and Jews who support this and can even laugh about it. Plenty of Sunni run countries just sit on their thumbs too and even Palestinians cheered as Syria was destroyed. Why? Like WTF? Well it's not their tribe.
Your real tribe is humanity. If it isn't then I who do not believe in Jesus still believe in Jesus more than you do. Real person or not the message was clear, love thy neighbor as thy self.
What we actually have are people following Yahweh the cosmic parasite and masking it as God. Here's the truth if you want to find your creator, you're standing on it. All life comes from Earth. Structure your values around knowledge not belief.
Ghandi said something like “I like your Christ, I don’t much like your Christians.” I contend that people who lie, cheat, steal, maim, and kill are Christians in name only (CINOs). The real Christians are compassionate, respectful, and judicious, and very often non-believers.
Yet another brilliant take. Your still the sanity at the end of Carnival Alley. Jones and Ike at the mouth of it, being a pair of those coin operated Tarot Card readers that you find on boardwalks.
