What Christianity means to me

[weev]

I was recently having an ethics debate where someone said that Christianity was "just what the greeks taught, but dumbed down". I heartily disagreed, and I wanted to put my reasons to text while I still remembered them

So, I was just passing through this community and I read your post. I guess I have two things in response. One is, are you anti-semetic? Because this surely sounds like it (and if you're not, you may want to rethink how your phrased a few passages). And two, I think your description of "Chris" as some gangster who was angry at everyone in power is flawed. Yes, Christ threw out the money changers from the Temple, but I have always understood that His righteous anger was tempered with a deep sadness for His people. You have to remember Christ was a Jew and came to be the Messiah of the Jews. More than anger at the Pharasees, I think He was saddend by their leagalistic view of faith. And I highly doubt Jesus dropped acid. He lived with purpose and meaning in all of his actions, your Chris character doesn't. He happens to go crazy and break into a bank - but it's not intentional. Christ's life was intentional in every detail
