Christianity could be a higher order way of organizing lives

[spoonitnow]

More or less the entire core of Christianity comes down to what happens when you try hard (ie: sacrifice) but don't get what you think you deserve. This is the core of everything from Cain/Abel/Seth to Satan tempting Jesus in the garden.

Also I find it fucking hilarious that as the only atheist in my family, I'm the one saying the Christian ethos might be what the family needs most right now.

As best I can see it, there are three levels of how someone relates to religion:

1. People who accept it literally.
2. People who deny it because they take it literally.
3. People who get it.

You're describing the third level here.

Edit: I'm an agnostic atheist for anyone who might ask.
