"But the Church is so wholesome!" (lemmy.world)

"How can you hate the Church if its teachings are so wholesome?

"It only teaches that you are an enemy to God, worth less than the dust of the earth, and that you cannot escape eternal punishment unless you accept that a blood sacrifice was made on your behalf and you spend the rest of your life doing exactly as we say. Oh don't worry, it will all be worth it after you finally die."

It blows my mind that I used to actually agree with this.

Modern Christianity is a plague on humanity (historical christianity wasn’t much better but at least they pretended to help poor people)

I lean the other way, in that I think religions have gradually gotten better over the years due to societal pressures. Not great, mind you, just less terrible.

Either way, I totally agree that Christianity (and religion in general) is a plague on humanity. I know not everyone will agree with such a harsh statement, but I struggle to see the good in convincing people to live a lie.
