Years after my R.E. teacher said, “I will never fall lower than into God’s hands,” I finally came up with the retort, “Let’s go on the roof and check.”

    Your mistake comes in assuming christians have coherent beliefs. They largely believe what everyone else around them believes. In the US this means they are mostly captured by the grifters of society which are coincidentally the capitalists. Funny how that works.

    For the rare exceptions you can point look at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_socialism.

      I am well-aware that Christianity isn’t self-consistent. This was luckily part of my religious education in school and my edition of the Bible even points out contradictions.

      To be honest, the title is only there to feign a discussion, since I didn’t want to be too overtly anti-religious.

              Then I’ll try another attempt at my answer. “Religious education”, as I use the term, is the class you take from primary school all the way through to your graduation in High School, if your denomination is covered by the school you attend. It’s the default for baptized children in the German state I went to school in. If your denomination is not covered (or you just don’t want R.E.), you can attend a class called “Ethics.” You must attend either your Religious Education class or Ethics.
