    Christianity is Anarchism

    No it’s not. It’s literally “believe in Yaweh or else,” a concept whose very heart is authoritarian dictatorship.

    Jews believe that when you die, you go to Sheol (akin to annihilationism), regardless of what you did in life. A very select few even among Jews were ever thought to be allowed to live with Yaweh in heaven. Christians believe in the idea of hell (and sometimes purgatory), an idea introduced during Hellenization and borrowed from Egyptian and Greek influences; failure to follow the rules correctly means torture in death.

    It’s no accident that Christianity has been a feature of early Nazism and modern revivals of it. It’s no accident that Christian Nationalism happened. The New Testament primes Christians to follow leaders without question, if you are indoctrinated to take its texts literally.

    Anarchism and its sub-groups are the very antithesis of the gigantic, centralized authority that is Yahweh.

    Here’s what Grok has to say…

    Ah yes. Not only are you deferring reason to an AI, but you’re deferring to one made by a fascist billionaire. And because you cherry-picked your verses and ignored everything else, you ignored the fact that modern Christianity is filled with stupid rules, just like ancient Judaism, all in service of centralizing power under a god that y’all can never seem to demonstrate is real.
