so, i haven't been doing much on here besides triggering playlists. i stopped to watch a bertrand russell video while eating pasta last night, and didn't have much to say about it.
i guess that being a christian in 2021 is a little different than being one in 1927, so if he's to preface his analysis with a rejection of medieval dogma, i'd have to reverse the logic of it - the most dominant form of religion nowadays is a sort of deist syncretism, so if you're to be insistent that you're actually a christian, chances are you're adhering to some sort of creed. there are of course also the nationalists that attach christianity to some kind of white identity, but i'd actually argue that that's even wrong - the ideals they're upholding were largely extant in direct opposition to the imperial domination that christianity spread itself with. to claim you're european ought to mean you're in opposition to middle eastern systems of religion, like christianity, and in support of the political anarchy and master morality inherent in pagan european cultures, including those of early greece and rome.
so, if you're a christian in 2021 it's because you actually believe it, and i'm willing to dispense with much of any discourse on the topic - it's just a bunch of obvious bullshit, and you'd have to be an infantile buffoon to take it seriously at this stage in history. like, to even begin to contemplate it, you'd have to be a complete idiot.
somebody died to...what...? get out of here, you moron...
so, the reason i'm not a christian in 2021 is really the most simple one possible - christianity is daftly stupid. to it's core. and, there is no way to save it or any value in trying, or any worth in condemning it. it's so utterly nonsensical that it's not even worth the time debunking.
if you need something a little more than that, you can listen to bert speak, though.
hey, can i call you bert? no? fuck you, then.
