Comment on It's a sin in Christianity to consume media based on ancient mythology and folklore?

  Wouldn’t I be more frightening without a religion? My people used to bash babies against rocks before the Christian missionaries arrived.

    You, specifically, possibly. I don’t know you and I certainly don’t care who “your people” are. But if you rely on a sky fairy to tell you it’s bad to bludgeon children to death rather than having basic compassion to tell you, signs aren’t good for you. All you’d need is for a charismatic sociopath to tell you the magic cloud genie changed its mind and then it’s all of our brains bashed in. History has proven that.

      Your definition of “Basic compassion” stems from Cultural Christianity. It would be different to that of my ancestors.

        You mean to tell me that not bashing children’s heads against a rock is a uniquely christian value.
