In exchange for obedience, Christianity promises salvation in an afterlife; but in order to elicit obedience through this promise, Christianity must convince people that they need salvation, that there is something to be saved from. Christianity has nothing to offer a happy person living in a natural, intelligible universe. If Christianity is to gain a motivational foothold, it must declare war on earthly pleasure and happiness, and this, historically, has been its precise course of action. In the eyes of Christianity, woman(man) is sinful and helpless in the face of God, and is potential fuel for the flames of hell. Just as Christianity must destroy reason before it can introduce faith, so it must destroy happiness before it can introduce salvation.

Another person advertising their ignorance.

Or is he cashing in on the easy target just like everyone else out there?

What do you mean, "advertising their ignorance"? I've read the book and the author provides all the quotes directly from the Bible that demonstrate the pictures are perfectly legitimate. You need to do more than just say, "this is ignorant".

I'm glad Aimoo decided to reinstate this 'quest's' comments.
