I mean I'm not the least bit fond of any religion, but a lot of Americans are into the prosperity gospel stuff that has little to do with the other Christian cults like Catholicism or Lutheranism.
The whole "God rewards good people with health and wealth" thing is an American concept, not a Christian concept.
What about Job, who was rewarded with 7 times what he lost because he trusted god? Including his children. The old ones were still dead, but he was blessed with new ones.
Christianity is rotten from beginning to end. It's significantly worse than most people seem to realize.
That's just a story to make people not lose hope when the government or some Sociopathic Oligarch takes everything from them. It teaches weak- minded people to accept being screwed over because God will reward you as compensation for your loss.
Except God won't reward you, that was just some story you were sold so you would just accept your inevitable screwing over without organizing a revolution.
God isn't coming to save you. We have to do that ourselves. Also: He isn't on their side either, no matter how much they insist he is. They lie.
The bible is an inconsistent mess that can "justify" whatever someone thinks god wants.
Christianity is a death cult. Baseless claims should not be accepted or tolerated, all life depends on the reality that defines us. Magical thinking is deadly. Humanity must mature or it will self-destruct.
In other words, please stop defending christianity at all. They'll kill you and tell everyone you deserved it. They'll go through the whole narcissist's prayer over your corpse: we didn't do it; if we did, it wasn't that bad; if it was, you brought it on yourself.
Take a stand for truth and life. Thank you.
Christianity is more than a just a Death Cult. Death is a normal part of life, but Christianity's core beliefs worship Torture, Human Sacrifice, Cannibalism, Violent Imaginary Friends that direct your every move, Mass Murder, the comstant threat of an eternity of fiery torture, and Zombies. Their actual logo is a human sacrifice on an ancient torture device. It also has an insatiable need for money. No matter how much it collects, it is NEVER enough, and always needs MORE. Much more.
Christianity isn't a Death Cult, it's a Horror Cult.
Imagine if someone knocked on your front door, and pitched Christianity from that perspective? They'd get rounded up by the cops pretty quickly.
Give it a rest, there's no redeeming qualities to Christianity. I went down that path too, thinking "Oh maybe it's beneficial if you do it the right way." or "Maybe it isn't so abhorrent if you interpret it correctly."
There's no God, the faster you accept it the better off you'll be.
