First Draft Chapter in Theology of Satan

When Christianity Became Intolerant

I do not mean that Christianity actually grew intolerant, but they lost the moral high ground to Marxism and Freud. Both Marx and Freud understood humanity better, or so they said, and this left the church reeling. The new Toxic Faith was more true, more moral, and more tolerant. Suddenly a new world religion was on stage and it had no baggage. It could claim the old religions were false, were evil, and had held humanity down from their promise. It promised Utopia, just as soon as you paid the price in blood to get there. This new faith argued Christianity and the other religions could never get to the promised land and they would always require the blood price.

The Toxic Faith said it could require the blood price once and for all and then the world would perfect. When Christianity was failing, and the Toxic Faith was taking over, the world was in flux. The world saw the rise the rise of the Enlightenment, the Industrial Revolution, the French Revolution (thank you Voltaire and friends), the American Revolution, the slow decline of Imperial power, new warfare, mass migration, end of slavery, woman's suffrage, and so many other events. Each of these events on their own couldn't have shaken Christianity. Some of these events, particularly the American Revolution revitalized Christianity. This period of time, from roughly 1750 to 1930 was marked with the promise that we could achieve Utopia on earth through science and this abstract word, progress.
Heaven didn't have to be a far away promise. Heaven could exist here on Earth and we could make it through various means. Some of those means were technological breakthroughs. Others were through labor and work. One of the most dangerous means was through what we must do to other people. We could not rely on other people to help us achieve heaven. Some of those people were not the right race (this time period gave rise to many "scientific" theories of race and why certain races were inferior to others). Some of these people were disabled and might pass on their genes. Others were simply too stupid to ever be useful. Lastly, some people were far too religious. They were a stain on the world and Utopia. Christianity, above all other religions, stood against their future world and must be removed by any means necessary.

In some countries, this removal was violent and excessive and acted in its worst possible way humans can treat each other, unless one remembers these were not men, but Giants and those they killed were just puny men. In the western nations, like Europe and the United States, their corruption of religion was less severe, but is racing towards it peak of destruction. Many churches today have abandoned Christian theology for Toxic Theology. They have tried to use Marx or Nietzsche to fix religion. In politics, they have used Freud and Voltaire to remove God from our legislations, executive officers, or our courts. They stand ready to finish the job and push, drag, or kill to bring us into Heaven.
However, Christianity saw the warning signs of the coming promised heaven. Some Christians spoke out against it and some Christians joined it. Why wait for a heaven you can't see when you can make a heaven here on earth? And the Marxists promises about heaven change with every generation. For those in the 1920's, it promised a world free of the disabled and the end of exploitation by capitalists. In the 1950's, it promised an end to nuclear conflict and free cars and free health care and an end of exploitation by capitalists. In the 1990's, it looked like it had failed and was going away. China gave up many of Mao's tenets to grow its market under capitalists principles. Today, Marxism is back with its promises of a future Utopia. Today, it promises that we can have a world free of racism by blaming certain races and declaring they are inferior. Marxism promises we can become anything we want. We can be a male transitioning into a woman who is a lesbian because he is now attracted to women who can also have two spirits and he can even more more of a woman than a woman who was born a woman. And if that man also declares he is a wolf, we have to believe is a wolf. If he chooses to be disabled, he is also disabled. He can even change his skin color. Don't forget, we will no longer have exploitation by capitalists.

In the promised Marxist heaven, there is no limit to what you want. There is no labor or work. There is only consumption. You can will something and it will appear before you like magic. You can constantly remake heaven into anything you want it to be at any time and there will be no consequences. Nietzsche also makes similar promises with his supermen. They will have the will to selfishness. The will to power is a lie. His supermen are simply selfish, taking what they want. Forcing what they want. Demanding what they want. They can remake the world in any way which makes their will happy.

This is what they promise and it is hard for Christianity to compete against this type of Utopia. Christianity teaches Heaven cannot be earned nor can it become anything we want it to be. Heaven will be free of suffering, pain, and tears, but so can Marxist heaven. Best of all, Marxist heaven is possible, just always over the horizon, and we'll get there some day, most likely. The Christian heaven requires me to believe in a guy I never met, to live my life for him, and to die. No one gets into the Christian heaven alive.

If you are not a believer, or you have been to church, but never truly committed to the church or you have had doubts about the church, then the Marxist or Nietzschean worldview is attractive. If you have experienced trauma and become stuck in it and if you believe those to blame are the church, then Freud is right and religion causes neurosis. If you have intellectual doubts and you are confident in your own abilities, and know you are smarter than everyone else, then you know you aren't one of the fools Voltaire describes.
