I find Abrahamic religious teachings to be very exclusionary (hey if you beleive what we beleive we’ll let you into heaven) Almost like a country club of sorts.
So true. Thinking about it, Christian missionaries’ main job is less to sell Jesus, but more to sell FOMO.
Like a timeshare salesperson, they’re not gonna talk much about the maintenance fees required (such as treating each other the way Jesus said to.) They’re also not gonna talk about how so many of the other share-owners are insufferable to be around and regularly break the agreed-upon rules. Oh, but they will hype up how, for the low, low price of asking Jesus for forgiveness and getting baptized, you, too, could reserve yourself an eternal home in Paradise!
