Christians arent being alienated

2018-08-03 13:31:50 UTC  

they are in many ways

2018-08-03 13:31:56 UTC  

Such as?

2018-08-03 13:32:01 UTC  

religion is inherent alieantion

2018-08-03 13:32:05 UTC  

such as lets say

2018-08-03 13:32:20 UTC  

the passages about sodom and gomorrah

2018-08-03 13:32:23 UTC  

Give an example for the average christian

2018-08-03 13:32:52 UTC  

God is omnipotent and oniscient while being all knowning

2018-08-03 13:32:59 UTC  

thats logically impossible

2018-08-03 13:33:46 UTC  

Right but they believe it because they dont think it is

2018-08-03 13:33:46 UTC  

while being "good"

2018-08-03 13:33:56 UTC  

@Mr. X exactly

2018-08-03 13:33:59 UTC  

alienation

2018-08-03 13:34:11 UTC  

How's that alienation?

2018-08-03 13:34:30 UTC  

they are alienated from the logical fallacy that this represents

2018-08-03 13:34:52 UTC  

Lacking knowledge isnt alienation

2018-08-03 13:34:55 UTC  

as even questioning is looked like a "bad attitude" in religion

2018-08-03 13:35:20 UTC  

@Mr. X it can be if its institutionalized

2018-08-03 13:35:22 UTC  

Used to for sure, not as much now though

2018-08-03 13:35:41 UTC  

and the church is a institution as long as i know

2018-08-03 13:35:47 UTC  

They werent controlling the lack of knowledge

2018-08-03 13:36:05 UTC  

it was the same as thinking the earth was not in the centre of the universe

2018-08-03 13:36:11 UTC  

they simply didnt know

2018-08-03 13:36:15 UTC  

in the religious field? for many they do

2018-08-03 13:36:24 UTC  

I highly doubt that now

2018-08-03 13:36:37 UTC  

many religious cadres have a good enough education to know those things

2018-08-03 13:37:14 UTC  

not the followers of the faith though

2018-08-03 13:37:25 UTC  

How do you think Atheism became more and more of a thing out of christianity?

2018-08-03 13:37:32 UTC  

and thats where alienation comes in

2018-08-03 13:37:52 UTC  

because capitalism needs at least a partial dismantling of those institutions

2018-08-03 13:38:17 UTC  

as the bible has a lot of feudal ideology

2018-08-03 13:38:30 UTC  

such as separatism on the roman empire and so on

2018-08-03 13:38:35 UTC  

So how would atheism benefit capitalism?

2018-08-03 13:38:47 UTC  

not necessarily atheism

2018-08-03 13:38:54 UTC  

but restricted religion

2018-08-03 13:39:02 UTC  

Such as?

2018-08-03 13:39:06 UTC  

and specially stronger on the masses

2018-08-03 13:39:17 UTC  

like people not using religion in science

2018-08-03 13:39:22 UTC  

as a method

2018-08-03 13:39:47 UTC  

Religion in science? What religious method has been used in science?

2018-08-03 13:39:48 UTC  

or taking religion as a coexhistent being with reason
