It's a part of the religion itself. Proselytizing to the lowly unsaved.

Usually a part of most religions. It's marketing and gives people the right to do horrible snarky shit and feel like they're saving the world

It's a self-fulfilling prophecy. The bible says that the children of god will be persecuted for their faith because they have been set a part and chosen by god. The persecution, the "spiritual warfare", only reinforces how special they are supposed to be. It only deepens the hold of the religion. It is a cycle that only makes them louder and more obnoxious the more everyone else complains. There is nothing quite like the christian ego.

It also isolates them further from society as a whole; they're actively taking part in their disenfranchisement from public discourse, increasing their reliance on the cult they're a member of. It's a stone that hits many birds

I mean, this is literally the entire reason that the 'door knocker' religions (Mormons and Jehovah's Witnesses) send out specifically their young people and recent converts to do it, and only after they have told/taught them a specific way to go about it (a way that is guaranteed to make people annoyed with them).

It is entirely about deepening their hold on the young and/or converted and has nothing to do with trying to "spread the word" or even about looking for new converts.

"Oh you poor boy, look at how the world spurned you when you were just trying to do a 'good thing', but We love and accept you."

The endless proselytizing really seems Christian specific. The closest thing I can think of is Islam but they prefer spreading their faith with fantasies of world conquest, so it’s more dangerous but less annoying.

Buddhists, Hindus, Jews, folk religions most religions don’t do this bullshit.

Please stop with the childish belief that Islam is that much different or somehow more susepticble to "world domination"

You are unaware of history and reality if you believe that.

Chrisinity has been used for world conquering for thousands of years and continues to be.

Colonization. Western imperialism. Crusades.

You're falling for propaganda from inside the eye of the storm. Christians are no better than Muslims.

Maybe I’m being misunderstood here because that’s not what I intended to say. All the abrahamic religions have the prophesy and goal of becoming the global religion everyone has to bow to. It’s not a feature of all religions.

All good bro. Just sick of people thinking western/Christian countries aren't imperial when they are historically huge colonizers and imperialists.

u/Born_Jicama_5988 12h ago

Yeah get it, I see the problem with my phrasing. I just meant they got different style. Obviously Christian’s are on their conquest trip too

Look at the actually history tho. It’s interesting. And Mr.chairman do you not see the irony in your moral outrage and proselytizing at me in your comment?
