When has it become bad to be a Christian?

[A_C_Slater]

Good/Bad is a Christian concept.

These classifications didn't exist until the advent
of Christianity.

I'll be frank with you.

There is no metaphysical good and evil in the human world
anymore than there is in the animal world or the chemical
world or the physical world of gravity and mass.

If a child is a nuisance tell him so. Tell him his
behavior is annoying. But never, never, make a metaphysical
moral issue out of it. Never, Never say anything is
wrong in a cosmic sense.

Never pass on the lunacy, the Emotional Plague, that has
come down to us from ages of superstition and barbarism.

We must understand that every moral idea is strictly a
hallucination. It creates guilt which creates muscular
tension, which creates rage. That leads to furthur armoring to hold the rage in. That leads to all the psychosomatic
illnesses that orthodox medicine can't cure and to all
the social pathologies around us.

Rape. Child beating. War.

There is a natural grace and a natural way of life we have
lost. We lost it through the invention of Good and Evil.

As soon as we believed we were sinners, the Trap closed
on us. We accepted sin and punished ourselves. Or we
projected the sin outward and punished scapegoats.

Masochism or Sadism!

Those were the only choices once we believed in Good and
Evil, once we believed in Sin. We are animals.

We are no more guilty than a dog, a cat, a horse, a
chipmunk. Everybody has known it since Darwin.

But we are still in the Trap.
