      And then this shit won't matter anymore And the language and imagery used is violent, vicious, brutal -- that fake you, the wrong you, will be defeated, beaten, broken, smashed, KILLED, BURIED, THROWN INTO THE FIRE AND BURNED TO ASH

      This idea of violently tearing yourself out of a filthy chrysalis to emerge brand new, innocent, and free, and clean It's this really raw deep psychological stuff The Passion followed by the Resurrection Tortured to death on the Cross, then the stone rolling away from the tomb

      Death and rebirth, the symbolism of baptism And I go with the theory that baptism was originally a lot more hardcore, that the point of it is traumatic initiation, simulated drowning They held you down until you thought you were actually going to die

      Christianity is, well, it's a very BDSM religion And it's very bipolar I mean Paul's rants in his letters are *incredibly* familiar if you've experienced bipolar mood swings or seen them in someone else

      Christianity is basically just a fanfic fandom that got way too jazzed on its own hype and was certain it’s work outdid the original.

      I mean I read a book (when I was a questioning Christian losing my faith) by a Jewish author giving a very harsh "review" of the New Testament as part of a biography of Paul Saying that as a work of literature it was obvious that it was the garbage testament

      That to put it on the same plane as the Tanakh and reduce the latter to "the Old Testament" was part of the violence of Christianity The Tanakh being filled with truly ancient poetic language passed down through a complex oral tradition, guarded by an educated priestly class

      And was assembled over the course of centuries through an evolutionary process Meanwhile the much shorter "New Testament" is this collection of, basically, letters and essays by a small handful of guys

      That feel much more "modern" (if 2000 years ago can be said to be modern) Like we know a lot about the historical context in which they were written and in that context, the great writers of the Roman Empire wouldn't have given them the time of day

      They're written in "newspaper-level" vocabulary, not "college-level" vocabulary The argumentation really isn't nearly as involved as something you'd see from, say, Rabbi Hillel around the same time period They're not *books*, they're *blog posts*

          And I mean yeah I get that, despite my lack of knowledge of koine Greek -- the *kind of writing* the NT is shows all over it It's very very clunky and practical writing Paul's letters, the foundation of the faith, really read like someone blogging
