>>17768128Christianity attracts those who lack the intellectual courage to face reality's moral complexity, offering them a childish fairy tale where daddy-God sorts everyone into neat piles of good and bad. This primitive worldview appeals to people who would rather cling to simplistic categories than develop the mental sophistication needed to understand that evil and good exist within every human being, including themselves.
The religion serves as a psychological crutch for those too frightened to acknowledge their own darkness, instead projecting all their feared impulses onto convenient scapegoats like Satan or "the unsaved." Christians flee from self-examination into the comforting delusion that they're fundamentally different from those they condemn, terrified of discovering that they're capable of the same cruelty and selfishness they claim to oppose. This cowardly refusal to integrate their shadow creates stunted personalities who mistake moral posturing for actual virtue, living in constant fear of the very human complexity they've spent their lives desperately trying to escape.
