How does being Christian destroy your sense of self?
Comment on If Christians were real, they’d be lining up to post for their sins (not trying to avoid judgement).

The point of Christianity is to deify the right parietal lobe as godly communication and answer to no one’s definition of right and wrong besides the one the “Christian” accepts. It’s anarchic social climbing disguised as spiritualism. The rest is a lie you tell yourself multiple times a day, every day, until it destroys your sense of self.

It substitutes decisions made from best judgement to decisions made from a myth based on ancient mysticism and a canonization process decided upon by a bunch of people born hundreds of years after materials were written. No one who is a supposed Christian is making moral judgements or bashing their life and lifestyle on anything besides a group consensus and a charismatic, designated thinker.
It erases a person, especially in first world white churches. POC Churches function as a local government in many ways, which shifts the brutality of social climbing based on popularity and conformity to principles that are ultimately based in hate. It subjugates the person until they want their enemies to die in eternal hellfire. It’s sick.

What are you even talking about.

You gotta learn to THINK, buddy. This is why Christianity is so poisonous. You guys can’t even crunch a complex thought that goes against your programming.

The best I can do to make sense of what you’re saying is that you’re looking at some of the worst of church leaders (eg. MAGA pastors in America, historical popes, etc), and seeing Christianity as that. If I’ve got that wrong, please correct me.
If that’s what you’re saying, that’s a massive over generalization, to the point where it’s willful. I do agree that there are church leaders out there who see leading a congregation purely as a way to gain some authority, but that is far from all of Christianity.

You’re 100% right: this is the best you can do.
