Does The Basic Concept Of Christianity Make Any Sense? by FatherOfJesus(op): 8:44am On Dec 08, 2022
Well, I suppose it all depends on what you want to define as the “basic concepts” of Christianity (something that I guarantee you all Christians do NOT agree on. For example, you can still find Dtruthspeaker and maxindhouse arguing about whose doctrine is correct)

If you think that the most basic concepts of Christianity are the touchy-feely bits about loving your neighbor, turning the other cheek, taking care of the poor and sick, and generally being kind and respectful to other people, I think they make a lot of logical sense. After all, we are social animals by nature with an innate sense of empathy, and concepts such as these make it easier for societies to function well and maximize the benefit for all people.

On the other hand, if you think the basic concepts of Christianity are that (a) we are all born sinful and deserving of eternal torment in Hell unless we are one of the lucky few people who happen to join just the right sect of just the right denomination of just the right religion and (b) God sacrificed himself to himself to appease himself and therefore save humanity from himself, then of course it doesn’t make any sense (logical, rational or otherwise).

Sadly, there are far too few of the first type of Christians and far too many of the second type.

People are waking up to the scam of Christianity.
They just don't want to even think at all.

They just want the assurance that what they believe is true.

They are scared of the truth because they don't want their illusion destroyed..

Wake up Africans.
If THERE WAS TRULY POWER IN THE NAME OF JESUS THE WHITE MAN WILL NEVER SHARE IT WITH YOU...
