I recuse myself from any epistemological claims about any super human entities controlling the universe, but Jesus has been wielded as as tool of the ruling class. When you use Jesus and behave exactly like the devil, the word Jesus is going to win out every time

I’m sure the same applies to every prophet ever. Again, claim what you want about a God, but that’s personally a question I’d worry about after dealing with how to allocate resources in what we know as the natural world.

Like, damn. Haven’t there been a lot of Jesuses throughout history? This seems almost too obvious to point out, but back in my edgy atheist era, I noticed how most people were just as focused on getting people to not believe in something as religious people are to convert people

Quick aside-I’m getting older and whatever and it seems like I’m noticing more stuff, and centrists are the equivalent of my stance on the non-physical world but for everything causing detriment to people in the real world. Silly billy stuff if you ask me

    The church would demand resources be allocated to it. I dont want to live in a post revolutionary society where our working class run state is paying to run churches, temples, the like… The church has so much material wealth, I dont see it working out, they’re losing that land.

      Probably misspoke lol could’ve said worry about what’s on the ground before thinking about what could be beyond the world if that makes sense.

      But it’d never happen so the point is moot pain

        living in the imperial core is bleak, but there’s hope if you take an international view. I have to keep reminding myself this or I really give up, keep agitating, keep organising! ✊
