Christianity is a philosophy that is founded on guilt. The cardinal sin represents a general disdain of all humanity - everyone is guilty for being alive, for being sons and daughters of women and men. Everything else is a consequence of that disdain.

While sin plays a crucial role in Christian doctrine, it does not mean that everyone is guilty for being alive or that Christianity promotes disdain for humanity. Christianity recognizes the inherent value and worth of every human being, as created in the image of God.

Furthermore, Christianity offers hope and redemption through faith in Jesus Christ, rather than promoting guilt. Sin refers to actions or thoughts that go against God's will, which can harm individuals and society. However, forgiveness and transformation are possible through faith in Jesus Christ.

Romans 3:23-24

Yeah, Christianity is also full of internal contradictions, and has no strong framework in which one can logically cruise through it. One more reason why I dislike anyone using it in philosophical discussions.

> Christianity offers hope and redemption

Hope and redemption is only necessary if you think all humans are guilty by being alive and therefore hopeless.
