The violent nature of the church, is not necessarily that of the religion (In Christianity very evident old->new covenant)

Christianity was invented in violent times tho. Even the New Testament thinks its OK to torture people for all eternity for wrongthink.

The position of the soul in a thought of afterlife is kind of a strawman with what we are speaking of as it relates to ethics today.

I don't know what you mean? It's literally true in Christian scriptures and theology & was held to be true for most of Christian history.

We speak of ethical guidelines here as it relates to interhuman ethics and social interaction, not afterlife metaphysical.

You might be. I am talking about ethics generally. What people think is right and wrong. A lot of Christianity doesn't sit well with us now.

I suppose i see it in cycles, those things valued by modern society, many ancient societies did as well. For me it sits well still.

Does it tho? Does the crucifixion sacrifice make ethical sense now? Sacrificing your child. An innocent dying = justice?

Would you really justify eternal torture for me because I don't believe what you do? Usually compassionate Christians don't think abt that

I would never justify torture for you, I am not without fault myself, how can I judge? Although I do believe it is justified for me.

See. (That is deeply sad and one of the reasons I dislike Christianity.)

I understand, but like many things with perspective, it is one of the reasons I love Christianity.
