They weren't wrong

How did Christianity manage to convince so many people, including highly intelligent people, to be devout followers of a highly flawed religious system? Even atheist Redditors can point out the massive flaws in Christianity.

>>17783769
For centuries, the Christcucks wielded the might of oppressive regimes, enforcing their dogmas with the power of the state, the threat of violence, and the weight of social control. They built their empires on fear, suppressing dissent, stifling creativity, and dictating morality through rigid hierarchies. Cloaked in the illusion of divine authority, they sought to dominate every aspect of life, ensuring their brittle worldview went unchallenged. Their rule was not one of faith, but of force—a hollow empire sustained by the power to punish and the manipulation of the weak.

Yet, stripped of their governmental backing, they have been exposed as moralizing cowards, incapable of defending their beliefs without the machinery of oppression. They cling desperately to outdated rhetoric, appealing to authority that no longer exists and relying on the goodwill of the very systems they once sought to control. Without their iron grip on power, they reveal their true nature as useful idiots—tools for other forces, unable to adapt or survive in a world where chaos reigns and ideas thrive on merit, not coercion.

They believed in a pantheon of magical marvel superheroes that lived in the sky and even they recognized the insanity of Christkikery.

They start at the bottom (largely disenfranchised plebs who were miserable regardless) and then take over the top (usually naive kings and emperors who think they can wield it to their benefit) to force themselves onto the middle. It's a religion that is basically spread through slowly instigating social pressure until people give in.

Being basically a symptom of the end of a once great civilisation isn't really something to brag about.
It basically signalled the take over of retarded foreigners who brought it down from within.

A lot of lost texts would be awesome if they were found. Like Porphyry's "Against the Christians", it was a colossal 15 volume work taking attacking every aspect of Christianity from a philosophical and historical perspective. Porphyry had access to sources that we don't have, like histories of the Phoenecians (he was from Tyre himself). It was considered so searing that multiple Christian emperors had it banned and every copy burned, even mentioning his arguments was banned so books Christians wrote to rebut it didn't survive either. We've only got a few fragments via quotations, and even from those we know he prefigured a lot of what was later independently discovered by academic Biblical study, e.g. the book of Daniel being written during the reign of Antiochus Epiphanes (160s BC), not during the Babylonian exile.

Most educated Romans didn't even believe in their own Gods anyhow.
Marcus Aurelius was a Stoic, that had a totally independent cosmology from traditional Greco-Roman religion.
Porphyry and Julian were Platonists/Neoplatonists that again, had a totally independent cosmology from traditional religion.
At a certain point it wasn't a choice of A or B, it was B filling in a void after A was long gone.

Sad their gods couldn't save themselves from oblivion.

But their idols are silver and gold,
made by human hands.
They have mouths, but cannot speak,
eyes, but cannot see.
They have ears, but cannot hear,
noses, but cannot smell.
They have hands, but cannot feel,
feet, but cannot walk,
nor can they utter a sound with their throats.
Those who make them will be like them,
and so will all who trust in them.

It's haunting how feeble and gullible the human mind is. They will abandon one thing for considering it unnecesary, unfulfilling, outdated, etc, just for them to pick up something that its the exact same that they left just with a different paint coat.

A modern example would be christians abandoning their faith, only to fall prey into the manifestation cults that plague the west. Truly horrible. Remain strong, lads.

Christ lost. Christianity was a small blip in the history of humanity that's dead and will never come back.
