Even as an atheist myself, I can tell how ridiculously uninformed this view of Christianity (and probably most other religions) is.

- Kaze404 7y agoCan you expand? I'm an atheist as well and that aligns pretty well with what I remember from when my parents would take me to the church as a teenager. For context, they're catholics.
- rurp 7y agoCan you explain how that post was ridiculous? It matches my understanding of Christianity pretty well. The idea that suffering in this life is OK because it will pay off in the afterlife seems to be a common theme in the bible and helps explain why Christianity has been so consistently successful within poor communities.
