@BrianJopek which is why Peter Thiel thinks it is the antichrist. Note. Peter Thiel is devoutly Christian and thinks empathy is evil

@rrb @BrianJopek Of course that's because he doesn't understand what christianity was meant to be.

@ariaflame @BrianJopek Unfortunately, it does seem to match most of the actions of the Christian groups I have seen.

@rrb @BrianJopek The ones that don't act like that are less noticeable because they don't put themselves forward. I'm not one myself. I did the 'read the book and realised it didn't work for me' thing. But I have some friends who do have that faith. But they don't push it on others, or try to shame people for living their lives.

@ariaflame @BrianJopek Do you live south of the Mason Dixon line?

@rrb @BrianJopek One could say that. Australia is very south of the Mason Dixon line. And a lot west.

@ariaflame @BrianJopek southeast usa has a particularly virulent strain of Christianity based on claiming to be pious while hating everyone not like you. Oh yes, and God is particularly fond of guns. Australians I have dealt with to date have not been infected.

This could explain our differing views of Chrstianity.

@rrb @BrianJopek It's not immune. Hillsong and chunks of Queensland come to mind (Ken Ham came from there) but it's not as pernicious.

@ariaflame @BrianJopek Southpark just had a good explanation of Chrsitianity: https://southpark.cc.com/video-clips/pe4a4k/south-park-are-you-questioning-my-faith

@rrb @BrianJopek Possibly they did, but very little you could do would make me watch South Park.
