I'm just sharing. I enjoy playing for the choir but I wish I could find a (steady) new music side-gig that pays as well.
Priest yesterday was talking about how Jesus "changed the world".
He said that there were no schools and no education before Jesus, no medicine and no hospitals. The Catholic Church created all those institutions.
Then he doubled down. There was also no romantic love, because Jesus brought love into the world. People were required to get married, and sex
was only for procreation.
The stupid. It hurts.

Prior polytheism, while still tribal and could be just as vicious to local rivals, was still on average far more pluralistic than the monotheism of the middle ages.
The west became more civil in spite of religion, not because of it.
