Christianity doesn’t kill the soul—it occupies it. It fills the space where real growth should happen. Not all of it. Just enough. Enough to prevent the rest from ever taking root.
Picture a person as an open vessel, full of hunger, contradiction, and raw potential. There's pain, confusion, regret—fuel for transformation. But instead of being forced to confront that darkness, to dig through it, to forge something true—they’re handed an answer. A savior. A system. And that answer expands to fill 90% of the space they could’ve grown into.
It offers forgiveness before they’ve understood their harm. Identity before they’ve built a self. Purpose before they’ve earned meaning. It quiets the very voices that would have led them into adulthood of the soul. It feels like redemption, but it’s really a premature resolution. A sedative, a crutch, a beautifully wrapped stalling mechanism.
That’s what makes it so effective. And so dangerous. It doesn’t destroy the person—it replaces the process. The real path—the slow, painful one where you confront your shadow, suffer your smallness, climb out of your illusions—is no longer needed. Jesus already did it. Just believe. Just accept.
So the person never breaks. Never rebuilds. Never truly sees. They become a walking template: filled, satisfied, obedient. The vessel is full, but it’s all substitute substance. Like spiritual foam. Dense. Hardened. Hollow.
And worst of all, they’ll fight to protect that 90%. Because now they think it is them.
