And God.

u/jesus, Christian theology is the grandmother of Bolshevism. Deny it however you want, state mandated religion always devolves into chaos.

From William Gayley Simpson:

The teachings of Jesus are completely out of step with nature, and only a few exceptionally zealous men could ever come close to implementing them.

Certainly Christianity, and especially Puritanism, was only a revived and revamped Judaism. Indeed, there were those who perceived in Christianity only the history of Jewish heresy. But I was far less concerned about the bearing of these two religions on each other and their relationship to the future than I was about what had been the historic effect on the European world of having the White people who created it pass under the direction of a religion that had not come out of their own life experience, out of their own unspoiled and unperverted instinct, traditions, and values. Nietzsche had declared, quite correctly, that Christianity was "the revenge of the Jews on the Gentiles": the Gentiles had taken from them their homeland, and the Jews had got even by foisting upon the former their religion. And Blake had perceived, no less correctly, that 'all nations believe the jews' code and worship the jews' god,' and had pronounced in conclusion that 'no greater subjection can be.' Inevitably the question arose: Can the Western White man, especially Nordic Western man, ever fully repossess his own soul until he has thrown off this alien religion?

Christianity will and always will be "slave morality" that Nietzche described.

Christianity does not equal "The Way."

What does that mean and how is that related to the current argument?

I'm not arguing with you. Christendom is not "The Way." Yeshua's way is not preached in Christianity and few Christians follow it. "The Way" is action ie. to do good; not to go to Church every Sunday and let hell reign on earth is not what Yeshua had in mind.

not to go to Church every Sunday

Going to church every Sunday should not be mandatory, and in no way is 'not going to church every Sunday' equivalent to 'let hell reign on earth'

Followers of Yeshua must bring the Kingdom to those on earth and preach it far and wide. It isn't just about salvation. We must leave the dead to bury their dead.

I do not have a problem with Christians spreading their teachings, however, a goverment choosing a specific religion to support is not a comprehensible idea. The state should remain secular (while maintaining family values, but also rejecting puritanism)

how special of you, to believe that shit.

Religion is a fundamental aspect of Human, which is why this fairytale state of yours has never, and will never thrive.

If it isn't god, it will be some kind of animism, or molecular faith.

Religion isn't necessary, belief is. Nihilism is still a belief, a belief in nothing. Nihilism rejects religion
