I was a Christian. Christianity, as a religion, crashed and burned because of many reasons...
Some of the key reasons (in my opinion), are:
Christianity is alive and well. Jesus maybe dead but Christianity is alive. Trump was elected by them.
But why do you stress yourself. Leave it behind and live the good life of a freethinker. Don't go back to that shit.
Yes but was Jesus, if he existed, a Christian?
@Green_Soldier71 My thought exactly. If there is any truth in the NT, then it is basically the story of a primitive moral philosopher in a backward country, who is killed at the request of a corrupt religious establishment for questioning it, and how the cult which follows is gradually absorbed into and redirected by the religious establishment to its own ends, probably loosing most, if not all, the original philosophy along the way.
How recent was this crashing and burning? If this is a relatively new thing for you, take heart! It gets easier.
@Green_Soldier71 Hindenburg, nice original metaphor.
