True Christians accept that life is a shithole meant to be endured and that nothing you accomplish will matter in the long run due to the corrupt and totalitarian nature of government so you might as well get along with people until you die. You can't change society through science or intelligence because people are inherently stupid and the world will always be fucked. Just admit it, Christians have the more pragmatic world view.
Ah, (somewhat flanderized) medieval Roman Catholicism; where would a good argument be without you?

I lol'd cause like buddhism, the "shithole" world that "will always be fucked" is the source of optimism. It's not our fault you haven't seen the light as to why this is...it's not that we aren't seeing the world as it is, not seeing what's really there, it's because we see the world as it is that we can love it for what it is, and any "corruption" we see is just another form of learning.
Look up abstraction, antithesis, and contrast. You should be able to tell the difference yourself. Why wait for others to do it for you?
