I can’t believe two years of “our tech is going to make you unemployed forever, be used to surveil you at all times, and possibly kill off humanity” didn’t endear people to it
@RussellBan68715@patrick2604@esjesjesj The economic opportunities in the first world from globalization and capitalism are not because of Christianity. unless Christianity is what motivated people to extract wealth from the global south.
@RussellBan68715@patrick2604@esjesjesj and in general, the American right wing response to social problems is individuals should just "do better", which doesn't address the causes of the social problems or even believe that the problems are something society can address
@RussellBan68715@patrick2604@esjesjesj Calvin's influence caused anxiety for early colonists who dont know if they are saved, & they see material success as evidence of God's blessing and approval. lack of material success means that God is punishing them.
@RussellBan68715@patrick2604@esjesjesj believing that poverty is caused by individual people choosing to sin, and so they deserve to suffer. believing that social problems can be solved by banning specific sinners or sins.
@morrats10k in my country, the root of Christianity feels a hatred for others, especially non-Christians and anyone who isn't white. It is also instilled an attitude that poverty is the result of personal failures and poor ppl are punished by God for being sinful and they deserve to suffer
@RussellBan68715@patrick2604@esjesjesj probably for economic reasons, one can hope that America can let go of the Christian biases holding us back from policies that would help more people
@RussellBan68715@patrick2604@esjesjesj what asymmetry? I don't care about your characterization of Muslims envy Christians or whatever, we don't need either religion in this country.
Q religion del Carajo q es el catolicismo:
- No jode a nadie, no estamos bombardeando, destruyendo ni entrando en guerras con otros.
- No prohibe nada: podes comer y tomar lo que quieras.
- No se cree superior a otras religiones, acepta a todas.
- Le da feriados a todos (?)
@___TheGOOdWitch some do some don't. I vaguely remember one Muslim being unsure so they had to check the Quran to see if they were allowed to believe in dinosaurs.
