      everyone from Ben Shapiro to Liz Bruenig hates the idea that parents have tyrannical power over kids which...is not that surprising given their religious commitments.

      Jesus said some pretty harsh things about families, but religious people nowadays often conflate religiosity with glorifying the 50s family.

    4. Micah the Lunarch‏ @MicahMTG 15 Dec 2020

      Jesus advocated for leaving biological family if they held one back from their spiritual family. "Pointing to his disciples, Jesus said, “Here are my mother and my brothers. For whoever does the will of my Father in heaven is my brother and sister and mother.” etc etc

      The whole point of God being everyone's real dad back when Jesus was talking about it is that it undermines the authority of earthly parents There's a lot of radicalism in the Gospels that went on to get suppressed

          Yeah, for real. And I mean, even that being said, it's a pretty strong throughline in Christianity, to provide alternatives to family structures even though it tended to reinforce them in the larger society. I mean, what else is a monastery?

          Christianity and Buddhism both underwent a lot of official suppression when they first popped up because of their open advocacy of young men dropping out of normal society (especially family life) in favor of the institution of a monastery

          I happen to consider that stuff the strongest evidence for a real Jesus because, radical critique aside, it's also a classic cult-leader tactic that would be strange to invent (cutting people's ties outside the cult by sauing they should literally hate their families)

          That's not to disagree with the gist of the argument that family is an oppressive stricture, I just interpret the point from Jesus as subtly different (he doesn't discuss parental obligations to children in the way he talks about rich people shedding all their belongings)
