it was the end of the line as soon as religions moved out of basic “don’t be a dick or you gonna be struck by lightning” lane into political domain. You can respect historical Jesus but hoo boy it is hard to respect any iteration of Christian church and their symbiosis with state institutions and crime. These guys are hyporcrites. Like there’s a russian orthodox church that literally celebrates war and approves violence against Ukrainians. I don’t think that how christianity works but they probably know better.
