Well, I did not think this would be a controversial topic, amongst the HN community.
But apparently I have struck a nerve, getting replies like this and downvotes.
What I want to say is this:
- Christianity makes very strong claims about moral and is very prescriptive about human behaviour, esp. around sexuality.
- There is extraordinary little evidence that support any of their claims.
This is quite a dissonance, no?
- Juliate 7y agoPartial answer. It comes from a time when Church was not only a spiritual power, but also a very temporal one, after Constantin brought it within the heart of the Roman Empire. From a time when society and lives were ruled quite in a top-down fashion.
