Human desire

 


"How can Christianity be man-made if it goes against all human desires?" seems to be the most recent Christian TikTok meme. The atheist with the strange moniker "Genetically Modified Skeptic" has little problem responding to it. 

Summary: Christianity doesn´t go against all human desires, it can be a good thing for a community from a Darwinist survival viewpoint to give up some desires, and Christianity isn´t the only religion that conflicts with (some) human desires. What about Buddhism or Jainism, for instance?

Or as somebody pointed out in the commentary section: if you are a (modern American) Protestant, you can´t use this argument anyway, since traditional Catholics and the Orthodox give up even more than you do!
