#xtianity — Public Fediverse posts

I just want society to recognize that #religion and #bibles don't add virtue or good to, well, anything. It's a tossup, whether #Xtianity helps or hurts a situation. Stop giving it the benefit of the doubt. #Christians #Christianity

Xtian: "Did you know that Jesus died for your sins?"

Me: "Did you know that Gandhi died for yours?"

Xtian: "Um...."

Me: "Did you know that this is Gandhi's walking stick? Did you know that he was against violence?"

In the 1980s, I saw this drama on Pakistani television. It was the story of an ordinary man, who was underpaid and underappreciated at work. Frustrated, he starts skimming money from his workplace. Eventually, suspicions arise and authorities are called in to investigate the fraud. In a panic, this man grabs the money and runs, fleeing on the midnight train.

His train cabin is closed, and he has only one co-passenger. In the middle of the night, they happen to look at each other and he is quite surprised to find that the stranger in his cabin is a spitting image of himself. Both the men chuckle at this remarkable coincidence, and have a long friendly chat. The fleeing man confides in the stranger about his predicament. The stranger says that he would be glad to help, by switching identities, as he is leaving the country shortly and won't be discovered.

Our protagonist is desperate. He is grateful to the stranger for taking the blame, and saving him. He thanks the stranger effusively. They exchange their papers, and they part ways.

The next day, the protagonist goes about a different town, with his new identity. Shortly, he is arrested by the authorities.
"Please, Sir. I am very sorry. I will return the money.", he tells the police.
"What money?", asks a policeman.
"Er....", stammers the man.
"Is this you?", asks the cop, looking up from his new papers.
"Yes.", the man confirms.
"You are under arrest for a series of murders.", says the cop.

=================

As a child, I thought this was an allegory for the human condition. We all want to run from our problems, and exchange them from someone else's problems, since we think that the grass is greener on the other side.

As an adult, I realize that this might be an allegory for Xtianity. Some stranger offers to take the blame for your petty crimes, and gets you to be obligated to them. Except, your rap sheet is barely 50 years long, and this guy is complicit in 2000 years of murders, rapes, and other atrocities.
