>>20418407This is the only necessary answer, but I’ll add a bit more
>Neoplayganism It’s fake. The whole thing is invented long after any actual connection to any pre-Christian faiths. You can say Christianity is made up, but it’s much harder/impossible to actually prove it whereas the Neopagan BS can be observably debunked by looking at the historical record. It also doesn’t satisfy the role religion is needed for, it’s not a religion, it’s just a vague collection of superstitions
>ChristianityIn contrast Christianity, which I suppose has superstitious elements, it’s ultimately a religion not about what happens when you die, but about what happens when you live. It isn’t about how many Hit Points and Angel has or how many corpses Odin sucked off for powers, it’s about the transformation of your heart and soul, the re-orientation of your life to the good, the true, and the beautiful.
Most of the Anti-Christian arguments step from arrogance. Either intellectual arrogance (pseudo intellectualism) in the “Hurr durr it just Horus” (which has been debunked btw) or racial arrogance (insert racial slurs about Christians here).
None of these are that convincing for me, the closest I came I suppose was Kek and Meme Magic back in 2016 but even then I couldn’t see any point to it as a ‘real’ belief, it didn’t provide a guide to virtue or a spiritually healthy life.
Any “do what thou will” “””religions””” inevitably fall flat because they’re predicated upon “do what makes you happy”, but would you tell that to a gambling addict? A con artist?
They have no standards by which to organize society effectively, “might makes right” doesn’t work when there’s guns, let alone nuclear weapons.
In short Christianity is true because it’s the only religion that enables human flourishing in all modes of existence. Could the Cult of Mars help an Iron Age society? Sure. But once you add WMDs it becomes suicidal.
