@Pain66 this is the insidious nature of word magic. Nihilism means belief in nothing, but Christians redefined nihilism to be any rejection of "traditional morality" (i.e. Christian morality). Look it up in a dictionary if you think I'm lying.
This is why Nietzche is a "nihilist" to these people despite his philosophy warning about nihilism and offering itself as a solution.
Thus the result of this word magic is for Christians to kill non-Christians as a "counter-arguement" for nihilism.
@Tfmonkey It’s kinda fucked up though that the only two options you have are to believe in their god or be a nihilist which they justify as a means to kill you. This is one reason why humans aren’t known for peace.
@Pain66 what annoys me is how much these reactionary right Christians piss and moan about liberals and modernity, but won't take women's rights away.
Don't belive in Jesus? Kill them!
Destroy civilization by empowering women? Blame everything other than women, and continue to support their empowerment.
That's an interesting take, but it contains a contradiction.
American Christians are tradcon simping feminists in disguise on the one hand (correct). On the other, they're fundamentalists capable of Jihad against non-Christians (incorrect).
The only time Christians meaningfully acted out the concept of Holy War was after Augustine, and that went right out of fashion when Contantinople fell to the Ottomans.
Since then, Western Christendom dropped Old Testament ethics and developed the Just War Theory, which is totally liberal and enlightenment.
Western Christianity IS a major problem because it's based on the heresy of Chivalric Love, aka simping. Tradcons are the inheritors of that bullshit and I don't see a way around it until we culturally purge that disgusting sensibility entirely.
