Who is Alan Watts and why do you think his opinion matters? Christianity is all about expunging guilt not holding it as a virtue. So about that something from nothing for no reason. I am still waiting for something beyond you 19th century explanation.

@hippyjoe1955 Alan Watts was a pivotal figure in introducing and popularizing Eastern philosophies, particularly Zen Buddhism, Taoism, and Hinduism, to Western audiences through his engaging books, articles, and lectures, making complex spiritual concepts accessible and influential.
Moreover, the source doesn’t matter, what he says here is absolutely true regardless of who is saying it🙄🙄🙄

@Ferise1 So why would anyone listen to him. Look at the wonderful life eastern philosophies have produced. Ever wonder why so many people were trying to get to Europe and Canada and America? Because of our Christian understanding of the world. Ever wonder why so many people are now running away from those regions? Because we abandoned Christianity. Son you aren't bright enough to pour sand form a boot if the instructions were written on the heel.
