thinking about it and i’m kind of surprised that for a centuries-old critique, the analysis of religion as alienating in that it mediates the relationships people have with one another is very new to me
i am not a Religion Bad cat, particularly less so in very recent years; i think a lot of what i developed frustration with in what i grew up with was a general culture of incuriosity that is normal to contemporary evangelical culture
anyway something something historical materialism as a mechanical turk concealing theology
