I love how much effort christians have put into explaining away things like it’s easier for a camel to pass through the eye of a needle than for the rich to go to heaven. It’s a mistranslation, you just need to unburden yourself, blah blah blah. When really it was quite a common idiom meaning impossible. Like saying a 747 will fit through a nanotube before a rich person who’s good.
All we had to do to make Christianity decline was belabor how antithetical it was to the only value, mooaaaaaaar, of our sociopath capitalist owner class.
They control the means of mass propaganda, and the rest is history. Christianity was hurting their rebranding of the sin, character flaw, and personal failing that is greed into the Orwellian “rational self-interest.”

I guess those fuckers are good for something other than exploiting humanity, even if only unintentionally.
