GG guys

And Christians still did that @Scale_e <:pepelaugh:544857300179877898>

ah yes, we never raped and pillaged and had human sacrifices in christian times

Without Christianity we’d be kneeling towards mecca rn

@leavethisbotnet nazism resulted from bad ideas and German aristocrats indulging in half baked occultism

It's pretty much the same oppression just in different flavours, but at least before Christianity there was some originality

Without Christianity there'd be no islam

And yes, there are atheists who aren't bad, but there were many christians who didn't oppress anybody too, yet you're judging christianity on the whole

@Jewsader I doubt that

@Jewsader <:BIGBRAIN:501101491428392991>

Therefore christianity ruined everything

I think you mean

without JUDAISM

<:powerful:595334910764515338>

Islam is the fan fiction but the fucked up author was still around

So the addition of Christianity... didn’t bring about *more* oppression. And, ultimately we ended up with a lot less.

@leavethisbotnet not really, christianity doesn't really have a whole.

If I were to espouse a religion it would be the cult of ancestors

He would’ve found a different fan club to invade

Because Christianity was violent before it accepted reform as in the enlightenment

@Scale_e I disagree, there was quite a bit of Christian generated oppression.

At the end of the day, people will organise behind different faiths whether they're secular or religious. We're all just trying to make the best of living with ourselves or each other

Judaism is the mediocre first fanfic. Christianity is the most popular fanfic. Islam is the shitty fanfic that the author made while drunk and drugged

The idea that you're accountable to your ancestors and that they will watch over you if you behave correctly sounds like a good one to me

Ultimately Christianity was a regression from the so called pagan gods of Greco-roman times

@Hommedaction im chill with stoicism

If I were to espouse a religion it’d be unironic satanism tbh

which satanism

Another way of looking at it is: *People* were violent before Christianity eventually civilized them.

Idk I’d need to look into it

the worship of satan or the basically epicureanism satanism

Not the murder childrape one though

But it didn’t happen instantly.

It took time.

I dunno if Christianity civilized them rather than organised them

@Nat no thanks, I prefer meaning to meaninglessness

Christians under Constantine literally nearly had a civil war in Egypt

One of the chill ones

And gave them a common enemy of non Christians and gays

Satanism is cool and all, but just can't be assed to grow out my beard that much and red doesn't suit me

@Scale_e they were still kinda violent UNDER Christianity, though
