I was referring to the analysis of Christianity's spread and evolution as amazing. I was not making a subjective judgment about Christianity itself.

- Curosinono 5mo agoYes i know. I still think its depressing. Perhaps we use the sentiment differently? Like the spread of the black death? I would say its depressing how fast and easy it spread.
- prerok 5mo agoIt's a bit disingenius to equate spread of a religion to a disease.
- embedding-shape 5mo agoYeah, probably "epidemic hysteria" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_psychogenic_illness https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mass_psychogenic_illness) or something similar might be more accurate, but that's also "a disease" of sorts, just mental/psychological rather than biological.
- Curosinono 5mo agoWhy? Indoctrination gives you a worldview before you can question things. Its a vocal virus. My mother left the christian church when she was 65 with the sentence "THese old white man don't have to tell me what i can do". And the context was a cousin of us coming out as a lesbian.
- simpaticoder 5mo agoIt is a mistake to anthropomorphize large groups of people.
