It is weird how Christianity originated in one of the most brutal periods of history where people thought crucifixion, human sacrifice, gladiatorial combat games, and extermination of rivals was acceptable. And then Jesus came about preaching goodness toward other people.
>>18489586>crucifixionOnly the worst people were crucified>human sacrificeThe Romans hated human sacrifice with a passion and outlawed. They literally justified the destruction of Carthage on the basis of Carthage practicing it>gladiatorial combat gamesSo what? Gladiatorial games were fucking based and we should unironically bring them back>extermination of rivalsEveryone has always done that, including Christians since upon taking power they outlawed paganism
Yeah Jesus is one of those "against the grain" types.
>>18489601The whole point of Christianity, is that people are bad. And that people will continue to be bad including Christians. But Christianity really tempered the badness in the world. Before Jesus, badness in the world was at like a 10, but after Jesus, badness is the world lowered to like a 6.It doesn't mean that after Christianity people aren't brutal anymore. It just became less common, and now many people can live their lives without firsthand witnessing anything truly brutal. Like someone being tortured out on the streets in public. When before, it was a regular occurrence for most people.
>>18489751Salvation from damnation is a psyop. In truth humanity has done nothing wrong and the fact that Christians think humanity is flawed in any way is proof they are a death cult who hates humanity and all arts and culture.
>>18489586In that time in the mediterranean there was only a few cool individuals like john baptist across the whole thing
>>18489815>the fact that Christians think humanity is flawed in any way is proof they are a death cultlmao
>>18489586no actually not weird at all
In terms of euro history japs are enchanted by, Victorian British is like 80% of their fascination.
