Is it a coincidence that /lit/ is so Christian?

[Anonymous No.19461510]

Or one of the admin is Christian and that is why we have so many charts and threads of Christianity?.

I don't mind the Christian threads, but why /lit/ is so Christian compared to other boards?. In poetry atheists have always dominated, which is curious because in sciences such as chemistry, physics, etc., Christians have been the ones who have had the most contributions.

Funny because Dante was both a secular and divine poet at the same time, he is literally the Roman Empire made man, a pagan and a Christian. Christianity is both his faith and his tool.

/lit/ is going through the same culture war shit as anywhere else on the internet, if you're on a mainstream forum you have to tolerate being colonized and taken over by literal trannies who are the only people sad enough to invest the time to moderate or take over an online community, if you're right leaning you are likely on 4chan or 4chan adjacent communities and everybody around you is either getting into Indo-European heritage shit or Christianity of some kind

There was a Catholic Literature General yesterday, which is what spawned the Orthodox one and occasionally spawns a Protestant one in response. Also, they're like this because jannies have repeatedly nuked them all or moved them to /his/, so they adapted by specifying "Literature" to their names.

stupid anti-liberals looking for a foundational context, totally insincere, infantile and insulting, embarrassing to watch, part of a general process of loathsome young men looking for ceremonial robes to dress in, so as to match fantasies of nobility. shameful boys clawing for a suit of masculinity.

I think it's a mix if what others anons said. Culture war, we read, and literature is Christian. I think it comes from the dubs philosophy thread where I basically only cited scripture and showed the power of Christianity for philosophy. Also, JBP is much more explicit about his religion as of late.

The admin is not making post after post about Christianity. It’s just that the type of person who goes on 4chan is also the type to be drawn to the great western spiritual tradition (and the type to be drawn to 4chan for literature is going to be heavily influenced by the western canon, itself dominated by Christianity). The admin (?) is not making post after post about Christianity. Why would the admin liking something cause the users to post more about it? Did you think that through at all? Obviously not
>why /lit/ is so Christian compared to other boards?
It’s not. /his/, /pol/, even /biz/ are very Christian
>In poetry atheists have always dominated,
This isn’t quite true
>in sciences such as chemistry, physics, etc., Christians have been the ones who have had the most contributions.
Well this wasn’t I was expecting you to say, but you’re right. I think it’s more in spite of christianity than because of it, but all the same, the greatest scientists were Christians

If you have not begun so already, try to get into a habit of prayer. At first it may feel like you’re talking into a void, but believe me, prayer works and is real. Remember that even people who saw Jesus in the flesh had troubles like this, read Mark 9:24—“I do believe; help me overcome my unbelief!”

Intellectuals like to be contrarian, it's a status symbol nowadays to not cohort with the lowly plebs. That way you gain social credits with your peers for your "original" thoughts. Because Christianity has all but died, it's now the new hip thing amongst high society to covertly be traditional.

You should be grateful, honestly. I was granted two minor experiences and they were really a double-edged sword for me. On the one hand, they gave me some genuine faith, but on the other, they led me to chase experiences from God and I started to feel upset at God that He wasn’t providing me more. It came to the point where it was a spiritual sickness that I’ve only gradually overcome.
