>Celsus also claimed that Christianity was against personal betterment, as that could cause their followers to discover the fallacies within their religion. Celsus declared that Christians convert by “lead[ing] on wicked men by empty hopes, and to persuade them to despise better things, saying that if they refrain from them it will be better…”
People from 2000 years ago understood that christianity is bullshit, so why can't /pol/?
Like I'm going to let a Roman lecture me. Was he a slaver, a pedophile or both?
It's the same shit as Islam.

There is exactly nothing wrong with slavery or breeding with females that have passed puberty.

> In his opinion, the main tenet of Christianity was “Do not ask questions, just believe” and “Thy faith will save thee".
>this is how christcucks refute arguments
No surprise really. After all, instead of refuting criticism they just burned all the books they didn't like

>There is nothing wrong with slavery
>Romans were fucking girls
>Romans were fucking people past puberty
There's a reason so many prominent Romans had no children of their own and adopted, lad.

Because it's a meme.
>Christianity was against personal betterment
yeah, because learning to love your neighbors and forgive your enemies and to walk the righteous path and appreciate the glory of God and everything around you will in no way make you a better person...

>that's right go.. er... I mean fellow christian, just give all your belongings to the church, it's not like you'll need them in the glorious afterlife that awaits you.
>oh and just let those pesky jews handle all the money matters. It's not like thinking for yourself will do any good for you. Here, recite this prayer instead.

Christianity is the great shame of Europe and the white man. We don't need it and we should not want it.

>quoting a dissenter whose only known recording is from a Christian Scholar about to refute his shit
>During the transition to the Christian Empire, Symmachus argued that Rome's continued prosperity and stability depended on preserving the mos maiorum, while the early Christian poet Prudentius dismissed the blind adherence to tradition as "the superstition of old grandpas" (superstitio veterum avorum) and inferior to the new revealed truth of Christianity.
it's like pottery, it rhymes
Christianity is bullshit, but so is any other religion.
But if it makes you so scared on being judged after you die that you help others and donate to charities, I don't see the harm.

Christianity gets a free pass to this because it's actually true.

yeah sure thing m8, I mean come on, of course

10/10 meme argument bro, shows your complete understanding of the topic. Christianity focuses more on your character, it condemns money because money leads to greed. In all honestly the Christian church pushes you to be the best with skills God gave you, there's nothing stopping you from improving but there is things to stop you from being immoral.
>>72970859
Well damn, that's silly.

>people don't see the symmetry to modern times
Those who do not learn from history...

Religion is probably inbuilt into humans - it exists in every culture all through history and across the world now. It's lack of religion which is the exception.
