Christianity should not become a religion that preaches self destruction over a misguided sense of fraternity.
Christianity is a religion that preaches fraternity as the goal, blind to any consequences. Always has been. If we're brought to ruin by doing so, c'est la vie.
Look, I'll give you the cliff notes version of a revelation.
You wanna fight a moral-ethical system? You need to offer a COMPETING moral-ethical system.
SOMEONE is going to have to have the hubris to speak for god and offer a new revelation. A new interpretation. Just like Moses, and Christ, and Muhammed, and Smith. And that person is going to take a lot of shit for doing so.
Petersonian self-help isn't enough; it's a good start but it needs more. Only the voice of god can counter the voice of god.
There already is a new much more destructive religion on the block, wokeism.
Wokeism has had massive success in usurping modern Christianity in the West.
What is needed is for someone to craft a new alternative to wokeism that doesn't have the weaknesses of Christianity which allowed wokeism to usurp it.
What is needed is a religion to replace christianity that isn't islam and isn't as kooky as the Mormons.
I understand the impulse of people to want to not have god but frankly, we tried that and it failed. So it's time for the anti-woke crowd to contrive a religion.

Maybe you should.
Well then.
I will just reiterate this one part of my argument.
If being a Christian requires being self destructive then I hope more people walk away from Christianity.
That's not enough.
