SInce this is the serious board, i thought ill write a contradiction in my head that is kinda making me leave religion and kinda not.
Darwinism vs Christianity, this isnt just a surface level "evolution debunks religion" thing, these 2 beliefs are distinct and kinda opposite ways of looking at the world.
When i mean darwinism i dont mean the scientific meaning, i mean the ideological meaning. Life and the world are dictated by the survival of the fittest, resources are scarce and its a fierce competition for those resources and strength meaning the ability to attain those resources is strength, and strength is the ultimate virtue
Nordics for example, are genetically the most beautiful race, as an analogy the brightest peacocks among the human race and the best at attracting mates, are the most intelligent and inteligent is whats behind human strength to thrive in this darwinian world, other races are genetically inferior and they must die. It is simply nature, just as the genetically less brighter peacocks, less intelligent creature dies out.
I mean the pure essence of racism, not "cultural racism". I would define cultural racism as basically any normal opinion called racist by insane leftists, in a cultural sense racist has become a meaningless buzzword, but behind all of this fog, the word racist is fundamentally darwinian.
Christianity says life and the world are to be lived with love, forgiveness and empathy. We are made in god's image, we are one in jesus. That we have free will and souls. Even the weak must be given love. But also that the world and everything is god's creation and god is omnipotent.
Then why is the world so harsh and darwinistic? Darwinism isnt an invented ideology or belief, which is what makes it unique. Darwinism is based off of what is observed in reality, making it the most realistic and practical ideology.
Race is an example, if men are all created in god's image and we are all one in jesus, then does that a mean a somali is equal to a swede? Or is the world darwinistic, and down to a genetic unchangeable level with no god or choice involved. Even the goodness of a superior race isnt from any choice or effort, its from genetics. And the inferior races cannot change, and theres no inherent soul but we're just animals who are slightly smarter but still live according to the harsh jungle conditions.
Ive spent years reading and thinking about the ideas here, and darwinism vs christianity is the
