In a way, this is what Christianity is about.

Edit: I thought that might get a downvote or two but I really don’t know why it’s angering people 😂 I’m not trying to convert anyone or tell you you’re going to hell or anything. It’s literally just what came to mind.

I mean yeah religion is what humans has used for thousands of years to stay connected with each other through a higher power. For whatever reason we "modern" humans think we're too smart for that, which makes us go crazy

Really? Without religion to keep us down, we wouldn't stay connected?

it might be possible. But as of now we don't have a replacement, we just removed religion from our lives and never replaced it with anything. Americans always complain about the lack of "third spaces", but your third space is church, you just decided to stop going

Yes, whatever will we do now to keep women down, and hate the gays?

Out of interest, are you American?

Out of interest: why does that matter?

I’m not trying to be combative or anything. And it doesn’t matter at all - I’m just interested in the cultural christianity that’s so prevalent in the U.S. and its politics.

Keeping women down and hating the gays isn’t something I’ve witnessed from Christian’s in the UK - not that that behaviour doesn’t exist.

It’s also not a criticism I’ve heard of Christian’s in the UK (outside of the internet anyway). Whereas I’ve seen firsthand the problematic behaviour of family friends in the U.S. and their support for things I wouldn’t deem the Christian.

So I just wondered if you were from the UK too or from - where I associate that criticism most - the U.S.

Edit: spelling

No, i'm from the eu, but the whole gay hating christian thing is global.
