Comment on Are we deprogramming empathy in the US?
Doomsider@lemmy.world 1 day agoLike I said, I thought like you many years ago and I have grown so much since then.
Christianity is a bad copy of other religions that came before it. Christ himself was a cultist preaching resurrection on Earth. The end of his story was just his fellow cultists trying to make his lies a reality.
It is a strange tale for sure and I study it out of morbid curiosity rather than seeking a higher truth like I once did long ago.
I wish you luck on your journey.

I don’t think Jesus was preaching resurrection on earth, he was more about “give the other cheek”, “rich people will have it hard entering Heaven” (in a society of poor, oppressed people), “take care of your shortcomings before you harass others for theirs”, “don’t be anxious”. This is all almost verbatim from the Sermon of the Mount. He didn’t even like people calling him good, and they made a deity out of him in a little tripartite pantheon…
Anyways, thank you, I send the same good vibes to you. 👋
