    Nietzsche called Christianity “slave morality” because he saw it as people accepting their poverty with the promise of reward in another life while the “masters” reaped all the benefits on earth.

      I mean it’s ideals definetly started with people getting fed up over how money was getting aggregated, then it started getting tied to religion and the Roman empire coopted it to control any narratives, turning what was probably the first instance of eat the rich into we shall just wait to be rewarded. Like the turn the cheek phase was not meant to be submissive, it was meant to tell you how to make sure the slave owner when beeting you left a mark which was a way to earn freedom at that point in time. That got coopted into meaning to take punishment and not complain, which is fucking nuts. Guessing it’s why there are so many Jesus like story’s from that time frame about a dude born from a virgin, walking on water, etc. they tried numerous times to coopt the movement till it worked with Christianity.

    Yet she became more and more promiscuous as she recalled the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in Egypt. There she lusted after her lovers, whose genitals were like those of donkeys and whose emission was like that of horses. So you longed for the lewdness of your youth, when in Egypt your bosom was caressed and your young breasts fondled.
    -Ezekiel 23:19-21

      Ehh sometimes

      It has some issues due to translation choices over time that I some cases would be better described as changing things to fit the translators narrative

      It it can be pretty based

      Of course a lot of self described evangelicals are very much not based
