Christianity is to blame for participation trophies

Never seen anything too terrible for handing out participation trophies for kids. Shit I didnt think it was a badge of honor when I was a kid, just something for a "at least you tried" kind of shit.

Now expecting it as a teenager or an adult is just being entitled. Kids though? It's all in good fun, they are CHILDREN. Pretty much nothing really matters achievement wise in the first place. Sure if you got a mutant of a child that can bench press 300 pounds that's something to brag about. A kid running real fast or helping his dad make a pinewood derby car? Is that really something to throw a fit about if everyone receives a ribbon.

If anything it REINFORCES how to be successful. If everyone gets a participation trophy yours is less valuable. To get bronze, silver, or gold that's the entire goal. Also can be looked good for setting expectations, aim for gold. Dont be disappointed over bronze.

Proponents of the left have always been those who encouraged participation trophies and the last I checked they don't seem to be a highly religious crowd.

Religion sets a standard and asks one to strive to be better & live up to that standard. The Godless left tells everyone they are special regardless of how fat, stupid, or lazy you are.
Religion names the 7 deadly sins to be avoided: Gluttony, Lust, Greed, Sloth, Wrath, Envy, & Pride.

The Godless left celebrates each.

Yeah so why blame it for all of these societal ills. The type of influence it has had has been limited because of its ubiquity. Like a white noise generator left on for a thousand years that blends into the background and no one thinks too much about it. It's like a fish saying all of the problems stem from living in water, or something

No dude, Christanity is very different in the Old Testament. New Testament is very much about forgivness and loving your fellow man, but to contrast that, the Old Testament god was hardcore "An eye for an eye, and a tooth for a tooth".

"Evolve out of Christianity" is misleading because secular humanism was developed in opposition to Christianity. And psychfags and christfags are absolutely distinct, it's hard to be more heretical than Freud. "Moses and Monotheism" is possibly one of the most offensive documents out there to a Christian.

You have no material conception of reality lol. The historical root of participation trophies is social psychologists claiming that children need a sense of achievement to succeed later on in life. It doesn't really have much to do with Christianity, unless you want to draw dubious parallels between secular humanist values and religious values as if the former didn't develop in direct contrast with the latter

I think Christianity deserves its own reward, 2,000 years of what? Of humility? I think Christianity has a place in people's lives.

The way Christians talk about 'sin' leftists talk about 'privilege' and how it's the duty of the most privileged among us to help the least fortunate. You gain privilege through birth alone, some lose privilege through birth alone, and if that kind of morality isn't Christian, I don't know what is.

Human beings are less than dogs. There's nothing on planet earth that's more cruel than humans. Humans subject eachother to horrific torture throughout history and we always like to think we are so evolved because we are modern and then history repeats itself. If your country had no laws or enforcement people would run around raping and murdering eachother because that's the nature of man.

Bruh. It's SECULAR humanism. People have different interpretations of Christianity, but I don't think SECULARISM is a part of it...

No shit most major social movements can be traced back to Christianity because that was the primary cultural force in the West for like a thousand years. People were obliged to submit their ideas to Christian dogma as operating outside that paradigm was unthinkable — that applies to such a variety of conflicting ideas though that "people claimed this idea holds up to Christian values" is hardly a good metric to use when determining if something is "real Christianity" or not. Elitism (limiting education), divine right, racism, colonialism, intolerance, a rigid social order etc have also been defended to varying extents with "Christianity."

I always hated those stupid-ass participation trophies as a kid.

Do participation trophies even work ?
I feel like I would be equally embarrassed receiving a participation trophy versus not getting anything at all
