Exactly what the title says, Christianity in all its various strains still stems from the horrendous old testament, and with all the awful shit that endorses, as well as with things like Calvinism and the general doomsday cult foundations in the religion, why do some people still act so charitably towards it? Christianity has proven itself to be a morally corrupt and oppressive institution at every turn. Or maybe I'm just too negative? edgeworth-shrug

EDIT Ok guys I get it this was rather reductionist, and I definitely was disregarding all the good that religious folks have done, and that religion has inspired people to do, but again over correcting into enthusiastic support for religion can also be problematic.

Because Christianity has consistently proven itself to be the most problematic of those 4? First time I've been called a fed though, don't know how to feel about that.

The only reason you have this odd exception towards christianity is because you've personally grown up in it, and/ or because it's not tied to a particular ethnic or racial minority, so it leads to less dissonance from speaking in such sweeping ways

Im the number 1 churchburner on this site and even i know this

Ok, fair enough. I've still got things to work on then.
