Even though you’re right, I think this sentiment minimizes the horrific things the American christian right is doing.
I keep seeing multiple variations of this comment on every single lemmy post about christian conservatives. Idk if it’s like an astroturfing thing or what, but it normalizes these kind of fascist acts. We should be shocked. We should be surprised and outraged and insulted. The minute we’re not is when it becomes normal. And we know that’s dangerous af because we’re already watching it happen.
Cute idea for a story but the evidence isn’t there that belief in hell makes people moral. Societies that have higher hell belief show higher crimes rates compared to ones with lower ones. Plus there are a few religions that dont have a real hell.
