I haven't caught up on web comics in a while. I went to check out Diesel Sweeties and the store and archives seem broken, there's no date on the page but my RSS reader says the last comic is from 25 April 2022, and I went to check his Xitter feed and there's insane virtual signaling reeeeee shit about brain chip guy. image

It's caused a lot for sure, but there is no one "Christianity" ... It's like trying to say the France of the 1700 is the same as France today. They're the same in name, but have very different governments. The point of the article is that Christianity provided some morals and ideology that led to current western civilization. All British Common law nations (including the US) are based entirely in Christian moral ideology. (as opposed to Roman Civil Law based legal systems like Italy, France, et. al.). All things come with tradeoffs. I don't believe in Jesus and the saints and all the profits, but I think it's foolish to dismiss the massive impact Christianity has had when it comes to the idea that all human beings have inherit value because we are created in the image of a creator. I think the new atheism of the 2010s has surely failed everyone, and has bread the modern alt-left ideologies.
