If you're angry about oppression, so am I. If you're disillusioned with power hoarding, corruption, and hypocrisy—same here. But don’t confuse that with Christ. Don’t confuse the failure of people in power with the teachings they failed to follow.
Christ didn’t defend the 1%. He flipped their tables. He sided with the poor, the outcast, the sick, the condemned. He died condemned by an empire and betrayed by the very systems that claimed to be holy. If you're disgusted by what people have done in his name, good—you’re not alone. So am I.
But if you reduce everything to evolutionary accident and say there's no meaning, no sacredness, no redemption—then what are you really fighting for? If nothing matters, why resist at all?
Maybe the real failure isn’t belief itself, but forgetting what belief was meant to do.

Sure—people can decide what’s sacred to them, and yes, it’s often subjective. But that doesn’t mean sacredness itself is fake or meaningless. It means we’re searching for what’s worth treating with reverence, what’s beyond transaction or utility.
The fact that people disagree about what’s sacred proves how seriously we take it. We fight over it, protect it, desecrate it—because it touches something deeper in us, something we’re not always good at putting into words.
Even if someone says “nothing is sacred,” they still tend to act as if something is—whether it’s a loved one, a principle, or even just their own autonomy. Sacredness isn’t about everyone agreeing. It’s about whether we’re willing to treat anything as if it matters more than our own momentary power.
