Uhh that’s the point of the thread retard.
That’s not what I was saying anyway. Just that past Christians would be shocked both at the state of sin in the modern world and of Christianity.

They wouldn't kill themselves in our time if they didn't do it in their own time. This is the best time to be alive so, if anything, the suicidal ones would be less likely to kill themselves.

Yeah man we got al this great shiy like mcdonalds, netflix and rape music.

I am sure old philosophers love sitting in da mickey d's, sharing their living space with blacks right from the ghetto, slurping up that sweet sludge while talking about their favourite pornshow on netflix.

Heho this truly is the best time to be alive. Long live consumerism and black cock!!@@

I'm not sure about this. Karl Marx didn't live like he preached. I think he would be very happy to become a modern champagne socialist.

Maybe Baudrillard, though he seemed to like analysing how fucked-up culture and reality is so maybe not.
