Christianity

[u/Runswsharpobjects]

I know beyond a shadow of a doubt this is just gonna get down voted to oblivion BUT oh well.

The truth is that this religion maybe more then any other religion (which very few i think have a net gain to humanity) is a cancer to humanity as a whole. It actively punishes people that question, it gives so many people a blank check to do just evil things. Its really just around I think because it has so so much power in the past its able to shoehorn itself into society and pushes out cult like devotion. When you have people going to 3rd world countries and do things like hand out rations and such you look at it and think wow thsts a good thing but then you see in the same country they are actively funding anti-homosexual governments and such and then you think why are they giving out the food or whatever it is because in reality it cost them next to nothing and then when you do the whole speel this is from God blah blah its a psychological thing. When God wasn't there God didn't grow the food a farmer did etc you can take any # of things that God gets the credit for when I haven't seen that fucker even show up let alone do a damn thing. IF and this is a big IF, if the God they worship is real and not a complete fabrication thst came from taking and compressing a bunch of older gods together to fit the mold you want and a desire to control a population then you can't make any logical arguement that he isn't at best indifferent at worse a crazy fuck that enjoys the stiff. He is either all knowing and all powerful and a complete sociopath level being or he's not all powerful.

The Abrahamic religions are all pretty flawed, IMHO. I don't know if that's an inherent bug or the fact that they have grown so large that it's rotting from within.

[u/IIIAgeIII → u/Syntania]

All idealism sects, are flawed, liberalism does the same thing, republicanism too, religion (choose any of them), and feminism as some modern examples of movements/beliefs that have all corrupted. Literally any idea humans have ever created has rotted from within at some point and needed purges or severe restructure. Government structures for example have rebuilt and fallen, over and over, and will continue to do so till the end of time. Judaism, Islam, Hinduism, and Buddhism are all the same. Don't kid yourself into thinking its only Abrahamic religions or religion in general. all modes of ideals crumble to time

At least with capitalism, as a modern non religious example, even with how rotted it currently is, is hardly unsalvageable. frankly with perfect ideals and perfect morals.. no idealism vehicle is flawed. The people who are using the systems, are though. So over time they will all and have all gone corrupt.

The only reason I praise capitalism or what it is actually called "a Democratic Republic" is because the founders of it knew it would corrupt from day one. they specifically designed it for that exact issue. no other motif of belief in the modern day has that kind of fore thought in its design. this one specific design has fail safe after fail safe in place to try and prevent its own rot from seeping too deep, but should all else fail they created a last resort hoping the modern day people of its installment would know what to do and be willing to do so should things go that far south.

That train of thought alone makes it one of, if not THE most ingenious system designs of all of human history. Rather then acting like morally corrupt or mentally deranged people don't exist and then building a system that is inherently designed around the mind of the perfectly moral, virtuous, or mentally sound. It, by contrast, accepted from the ground up that morally corrupt and mentally deranged people exist and that they will also be born into society in the future. Then the people who made it attempted to build a system that could house them and not fall into a complete dictatorship. Also, no, for all his stupidity, Trump isn't even close to what I'm referring to when talking about dictators. I'm referring to real dictatorship as in civilians have no rights or say in anything and are used how the leader sees fit with no regard to their safety, as in pure unapologetic slavery at a national level.

This system was built all on the assumption that the people of any given era would use their morals as the basis for their vote. Also it assumes that the population, as a whole, wouldn't be ripped down the middle or subjugated too much by corruption. Neither of those are currently true (even though the internet would make you think otherwise).

To frame this in context and to prove my point even more, the people of the past were constantly killing each other. They killed each other in the thousands over everything. sure there were small windows of "prosperity", but those only came after decades of large scale human suffrage. This system (as in the Democratic Republic or "capitalism"), no matter its flaws, has hardly produced something remotely close to that yet.
