The church couldn't have been more collectivistic.
@randomNPCno3 you're right.
No, he's wrong.
People are dumb though and don't read the book
@ETBrooDthats why we were saying that the church is a poor representation of Christianity
You clearly have not read the book, or you've read it while being guided what to make of it
@randomNPCno3 Ah yes, "not a true scotsman"
The very idea of it is destructive towards individualism.
I like that fallacy
It applies literally anytime anywhere to anything
It's also the best fallacy because **IF IT AINT SCOTTISH ITS CRAP**
"Well this type of religiosity wasn't good, so it wasn't really our religiosity"
people miss the important pieces and what they relate to.

@ETBrooD Most people don't actually understand the faith because they don't read the book.
Ah, cross-theism. Relating other gods between religions.
An apologist favorite.
S'why Islam continues to maintain power over the west.
If you say so, satan
Satan was a good dude. Was literally just a fallen angel struck down because he wanted to help humanity.
Did less bad than Yaweh.
Satan literally means adversary or an obstacle that stands in your path.
As defined by Yaweh
Oh yes, and we all know, the adversary is automatically evil.
As defined by hebrew etymology
Love how you point out control from human origin, but won't recognize control of a godly origin
There's the protagonist, and the antagonist, and if you're the protagonist, you know you're good, and if you're the antagonist, you know you're evil. Simple.
The Demiurge isn't god anyways
What more magical power to control your thought than the ultimate power?
Be a mechanicus. Serve the omnissiah. Only the manmade machine is worthy of manmade worship.
catholic church supported the development of individualism
through its family policies
they sought to undermine the authority of kinship groups by promoting outbreeding
and the nuclear family
I worship the unknowable God. Yaldabaoth is the child of the void.
Until we discovered inbreeding and nepotism in their most powerful sources, but humans are fallible...
what do you mean in their most powerful sources
are you referring to like
monarchs
inbreeding
Kings and queens of early second millennium nations.
