Why would Jesus care about 110+ billion people?
Poast new message in this thread
Date: December 24th, 2025 5:07 PM Author: fitzgerfag If humanity keeps reproducing at scale, organizes itself hierarchically, and largely prioritizes self-interest, it's hard to see how Jesus' teachings could meaningfully apply to the collective outcome.
Much of what Jesus taught centers on humility, restraint, sacrifice, and even martyrdom in a world that tends to reward the opposite. Often, people who try to live by those ideals end up exploited, while those who don’t seem to do just fine.
What adds to the tension is that many people who identify as followers of Jesus don't actually live by those teachings.
They invoke him symbolically, but operate according to power, status, and self-preservation.
If the message doesn’t scale well, and the followers don't consistently follow it, what role is it really meant to play? |

Date: December 25th, 2025 11:33 AM Author: Genius Theologian The thread title doesn't make sense. The historical person is dead.
Christianity like any other cultural form is an adaptive strategy. It's pretends to be rooted in deontological claims but the heart of it is a set of ontological ones. Like any system it presupposes that ontological truth implies adaptive fitness.
But the ontological claims are exceedingly narrow and no one has really worked out their moral implications, likely because the latter are not fully determined by the former. The latter are also primarily designed relative to understanding the former, not vice-versa.
So it turns out there really is no coherent "message" in the sense of a moral program. |

Christianity isn’t just about correcting human conduct in the material world, which is a brief flash of eternity. It’s about preparing for the next life. Humans are dumb animals that struggle to rise above their base instincts. Being at the top of the pack in our existence is meaningless. The “losers” in our existence are actually the ones that will enjoy a place in the next life. |

Date: December 25th, 2025 2:33 PM Author: Genius Theologian A Near-Death Experience is a complex hallucination arising from the brain’s struggle to maintain cognitive integration during physiological failure. Under conditions of extreme trauma, the disruption of the brain's body schema creates a dissociative sensation of floating or detachment, which the individual interprets through a theological lens as the separation of the eternal soul from the physical body. Simultaneously, the brain misattributes internal neural activity to an external, intentional source, causing the subject to perceive a being of light that is culturally identified as God or Christ. These sensory phenomena are then consolidated by innate narrative meaning-making faculties, which organize rapidly firing autobiographical memories into a coherent life review, thereby transforming a chaotic neural event into a structured encounter with divine judgment and teleological purpose.
