Christian tradition is based and I'm quite amiable towards it. However I do think that I'll never be able to literally believe it when it comes to the literal doctrine of the Bible. It's too self contradictory and externally contradictory. It's pretty much what you would expect if men made it up. But the tradition is way different than the esoterica of the Bible. The Bible might preach universalism is some places but traditionally that was never a thing. And historically 99% of people who attacked Christianity "cuz it's not true" were just trying to dismantle the tradition. I mean even 1000, 2000 years ago, intelligent scribes must have realized it's not literally, fully true just based on a comparative reading of the Gospels.

So the traditionalism is based, but the current institutions are pozzed and the scriptural literalists are defeatists. I think you agree with me at least on the latter. These are the folk that disregard all lively tradition and cherry pick some lines from the Bible with the goal of communicating "Don't do anything because the Apocalypse is coming and Jesus will save us from clown world." This is defeatism even if you fully believe in Christianity since there's really no evidence that the Apocalypse is coming in our life time. The you know whos could very well rule for 10,000 years before the 7 seals are broken.

I literally just call them out for defeatism. That's the best word to use I've found. It's cool because you also get secular defeatists as well that are issues for the same reasons. People like the Qtards who think daddy Trump will save us if we just elect him one more time. Babbling about secret indictments is defeatism. There's also tards like Moldbug who say "do nothing". That's also defeatism. All these camps are shit because they're LARPing defeatists.

Interesting comparison between Christian fatalism and QAnon there. Good point.

The conspiracy 1.0 crowd had a lot of that as well. I remember watching an absolutely insane video years ago by a guy who claimed to be a super soldier -- blah blah you know how it is with these types -- and his videos all made the point that there's trillions of dollars just waiting in some secret fund and that Obama was holding it back but there were these White hats secretly working to free the money lead by the Count of St. Germain who is immortal etc.

Long story short it was just a way of saying sit back, be inactive and everything will be taken care of. It's a psyop.
