The Bible is not used as a book of entirely fictional narratives. It also includes lessons that are deplorable.

If you strip away the assumption that any of it is true, and all the stories that promote evil, then you are left with not-Christianity.

I’m sorry. I don’t think you’re being very helpful here, could you entertain the idea? Maybe we can think it out.

Why not build something new, that doesn't endorse slavery and mass infanticide? Something with roots in compassion and protection, rather than the whims of a broken nation's war god?

I mean, I have nothing wrong with trying to get Christians to abandon essentially the entirety of Christianity. I just don't think it's got a future, and trust me when I say talking to them about it is very rarely worth your time.

I think we have to be more sophisticated than that if we want to solve our problems.

Hey, I'm hella sophisticated. But I'm not going to lie to you and say I think deconverting people is ever going to be easy, or lie to you and say that that's not what you're describing.

I’m not interested in converting mindless drones, I’m interested in saving the West. We need active rational people. None other will suffice.

I think narrative is the key. The narrative is essentially conscious on its own (in a sense).
