    What’s even funnier is while I am a “Christian”, this is actually a very critical Christian meme. But I’m also of the belief that most satanists make better Christians than Christians do so…

      Honestly I consider it a consequence of how long Christianity functioned as a state affair

      Christians who sit in pews like angels and then don’t even glance towards the needy aren’t so much signaling their own piety as much as acting out a previously enforced by law custom for which not obliging would get you condemned by your community.

      The conservative doesn’t see traditions as an expression of a culture and its values, but rather as rituals that they had to endure whether they liked it or not and so now you do too.

      My dad’s a devout Christian and the man let me and my sis both stop attending church long before we were both old enough to go away to college, although tbf that may have been more because he was sick of the effort of waking us both up for the sermon he wanted to go to lol.
