So 28mins into this @Libera_Rex brings up something REALLY important
The use of the word "Truth"
My Roman LARPing led me to the exact same problem
What's the difference between our "Truth" and the Roman word for truth: "Veritas"
And why does this matter? https://twitter.com/aionmediaco/status/1249007508091330560

When Jesus stood in front of Pontus Pilate he said: "I am the Truth"
Pilate replied: "What is Truth"
But Pilate was Roman
He was asking "What is Veritas?"
It was a conflict of philosophies
Neech believed this sentence alone proves Christianity invalid...

Here's why
Our modern "Truth" is strangely blended up with our feelings
Christ was basically saying; my emotions and love exist and matter
VERITAS is the cold modern truth of Science
The verified world "out there"
Christian Truth is built on emotions not reality
It is "postmodern"

From this angle, Christianity reveals itself as a left wing political movement
Like the modern left claiming their feelings matter more than verified biology
Their love and empathy mattering more than the verified glory of modern states
Christianity was an attack on Rome

Christianity was an attack on Rome
The Roman faced reality, saw its harshness, and over millennia conquered it
Rome was the undeniable verified winner of the game
The Roman could take honest pride in himself because he was the winner
Rome was the undeniable verified winner of the game
The Roman could take honest pride in himself because he was the winner
Christianity waged this attack by denying reality, by claiming Roman pride offended Truth
Truth meaning only "my feelings"
This movement took off, because it told a huge mass of people who were nothing in "reality" that they mattered because they felt like they mattered

This is why Romans saw Christianity as atheist
They were literally denying the nature of reality
Modern "postmodernism" and the "meaning crisis" is fundamentally a result of this
It is the end of a 2,000 year venture into this "felt" Truth
A waking up to its nonsense

This is the most powerful criticism of Christianity out there
It has remained unanswered
Yet, there is one last catch to this
By Neech and Roman metrics
Its verifiable that Christianity won
"the feelings" of "the weak" actually are an important force that must be understood

Left wing movements champion the idea that the feelings of "slaves" should be cared for
In a coarse unemotional view;
Oppression is dumb, because it leads to the overthrow of the rulers
Dignity leads to higher productivity and stability
Feelings DO actually matter

This strangely re-frames Christianity as POSSIBLY a genius tool to manage the dispossessed
It forces a deal
The slaves agree to be humble and non-violent
So long as the masters agree to treat them with dignity
"Give to ceasar what is ceasar's..."

Nonetheless, this still leaves us with a serious problem in the modern age
This floozy and blended mismash of "felt" Truth and verified reality seems like its about to go into conflict again
Sadly, When these memes fight
We are the cannon fodder
