I just think that Christianity was never designed for a society like modern 2025 America (I don't care about others since they don't affect my life). It preaches about rejecting the world, however this was in a much more communal and socialized society, if you "reject the world" now you'll just be left a completely isolated pariah, especially when you preach this message to children such that they never grow up with any youthful teenage experiences. Christianity simply was never designed for a world of computers and AI, I fear. At least in my own personal life I also noticed this because I got really into Christianity during my teenage years, I already had a very antisocial isolated upbringing but this wasn't due to religious reasons it was purely secular with my alcoholic abusive family, and I just kept on noticing that it's impossible to do shit as a teenager or have any social life whatsoever without either 1. experiencing severe cognitive dissonance or 2. not taking it that seriously. This extreme antisocial isolation also isn't helped by Christianity's sectarianism since you're expected to believe in a sect and actively deny others, rather than them being like optional clubs or something lol which would also make merely attending a church, without being actively convinced in it, which is impossible if you don't think it's true, kinda sinful in of itself.

And yeah I know there's nondenominationalism. This was what I eventually settled with back then because otherwise I just found it ridiculous.

To be fair, I don't think any society in all of human history has ever discarded their existing body of law and replaced it with the Bible, which really should tell you something

Preposterous, are you trying to tell me that an omniscience being that can directly alter reality completely failed to predict or foment the global rise of IT?
