This is true for most people in general
As stated above
Most people are content gallivanting around
Shopping, talking about pop culture
They would see the bush people in the highlands of papua new guinea as profane
Well I mean keeping up with the Kardashians is infinitely more exciting than treking up a hill to stare at a bush
Do you blame people for wanting to be shielded from the profane?
Partially
perhaps life isn't meant to bode well with death
Better stated from the opposite spectrum
No exposure to unpleasantness
Entertainment remains in the foreground
That's not a Christian thing, that's a secular thing
and the permutation of unliving to living to dying to death is laid out in such a way that albeit is predictable, is unpleasant
it's offshoot religion which still harbors the same disgust at the mucous and blood of living in favor of a clean sterile existence.
as i have my doubts as to whether or not the soul desires captivity in a mortal shell
Would you agree that most Christians are secular at least in socialization?
i'd say most Christians have developed a taste for the secular
to desire such a thing, but to not actually have a feel for attaining it
The Christians of today aren't the same Christians from the dark ages
the sky is still the same
the ground is still the same
life and death are both still the same
what do you reckon changed?
@diversity_is_racism would say the enlightenment (tm)
The herding nature of people in the abstract
tech
duh
i'd wager reformation had the negative side effect of instilling salvation through belief
instead of salvation through suffering
as suffering is endemic to life itself
reformation divorced nature from the divine
I've had a couple of Christians open up in the past, people I respected
They said earth is hell (paraphrasing)
But the word "hell" was utilized
Being unhappy with the basic tenets of their lives
Coming to a conclusion that existence here is some kind of punishment
that describes the 9-5 life pretty well
That's profane
It's tenets btw goaty
