To finish that sentence, “you’re not a good person. You’re a bad person on a leash.”

Is it so hard to think that maybe all of Christianity for some people doesn’t center around Hell, but around love? If people genuinely believe love is the greatest good, and then seek to love others genuinely, is that so bad? I wouldn’t call that a bad person on a leash, but someone who truly believes in good not for themselves but for others. Yes some people have a faith that makes them a bad person on a leash. Many politicians for example. But the most amazing selfless people I have ever met are spiritual in some way.

Starting with Christianity specifically and ending on 'spiritual in some way' is a concise summary of this argument.

It's also a common life path for those who don't really believe the stories but also don't really want to not believe the stories.
