Yup.
The teachings of Christianity don't make any fucking sense. (Unless you're willing to gaslight yourself for a lifetime.)
Too bad our entire society is based on this nonsense.

Agreed.
Now now, don't discount free reign to also gaslight others for a lifetime as well. And judge and shame others too. It's great for complete assholes.
I think that's part of the appeal: the ingrained superiority Christians feel.
Not just Christians, that's a common thing with any cult, be it for a person, a country, etc.
That's the point of religion. Trick the brain into thinking everything is going according to plan so that it gives out the happy time drugs instead of the "you need to wake the fuck up and do something about this" drugs. The religion pushers get their cut, and everyone thinks their happy.
