      yeah some of the angry QTs had me thinking that aggressive social dechristianization was a big mistake independent of ones belief in christianity maybe people need transcendent direction to become good and the gospel does this efficientlyhttps://twitter.com/00lshr/status/1387231853619388416 …

      cruelty to outgroups is a classic and enduring means of building social cohesion you can't deny its effectiveness and you'll have to move beyond materialism if you want a reason to moderate or eliminate it https://twitter.com/eigenrobot/status/1387156494752239620 …

      im not arguing that christians did an especially good job of this but being able to point to "love thy neighbor as thyself" as a culturally agreed upon imperative is something that would be nice you know

          Chesterton fans would probably quote his bit about virtues coming untethered and causing more damage to society than vices Compassion has to be situated properly to be good

          Like the Pharisees, they hate God's standards, except when they might be convenient to use against God's people. That is what a Pharisees is. A whitewashed tomb, a hypocrite. Not someone a little too zealous about God giving us commands to follow.

          Paying more attention to right wing politics has entirely changed my appraisal of Christianity. Once people drop the idea of the inherent moral worth of all human beings, they don't rederive it from something else, and slip gradually into ethnonationalism.

          Replying to @eigenrobot

          Liberalism (in the old sense) stems from the understanding that diversity (in the old sense, as an ensemble of behaviors/beliefs/strategies) is an engine of economic growth. But it's very unnatural for humans, and requires cultivation of values like tolerance, peace, humility...

          ...and most of all, minding your own fucking business, which is the fusion of the three. Communism goes straight for the carotid of minding-your-own-business and tears it out.

          Replying to @eigenrobot

          Thoughtful Christians often admit they are hypocrites while maintaining these ideas are important, which I have come to find charming. Without the faithful, I'm not sure the idea of a universal moral framework would have survived at all. Rational people seem to actively hate it.
