Our theology is meant to flatten us. http://t.co/JGssBFzdGW

Christian theology is false, but this observation about Christian theology is true. The entire rickety edifice relies on your acceptance of the claim that you were born intrinsically, innately, irreparably foul, depraved, and unfit to live — that is Christianity’s indispensable metaphysical claim. If you don’t accept that, Christianity has nothing on offer.
It is, indeed, meant to break you down and flatten you; that is all it has ever been about.
