Christians arent being alienated
they are in many ways
Such as?
religion is inherent alieantion
such as lets say
the passages about sodom and gomorrah
Give an example for the average christian
God is omnipotent and oniscient while being all knowning
thats logically impossible
Right but they believe it because they dont think it is
while being "good"
@Mr. X exactly
alienation
How's that alienation?
they are alienated from the logical fallacy that this represents
Lacking knowledge isnt alienation
as even questioning is looked like a "bad attitude" in religion
@Mr. X it can be if its institutionalized
Used to for sure, not as much now though
and the church is a institution as long as i know
it was the same as thinking the earth was not in the centre of the universe
they simply didnt know
in the religious field? for many they do
I highly doubt that now
many religious cadres have a good enough education to know those things
not the followers of the faith though
How do you think Atheism became more and more of a thing out of christianity?
and thats where alienation comes in
because capitalism needs at least a partial dismantling of those institutions
as the bible has a lot of feudal ideology
such as separatism on the roman empire and so on
So how would atheism benefit capitalism?
not necessarily atheism
but restricted religion
Such as?
and specially stronger on the masses
like people not using religion in science
as a method
Religion in science? What religious method has been used in science?
or taking religion as a coexhistent being with reason
