Eh people say the same thing about Roman Catholicism and Eastern Orthodoxy but that opinion largely comes from a place of ignorance
Discussion
Probably. I don't know the difference between those two churches either. I was raised roman catholic. Very devout. Left the church after my pastor and biship raped my sunday school classmates. Then just got transfered without prosecution.
Overall I lost my faith even more when I dived deep into the corruption and hijacking of the church by evil.
Now I am a stoic with a foundation of christian morals and ethics which have become a part of my core virtues and personality.
Valid! I would also say that a lot of Saint Paul’s positions in the New Testament align with stoicism too tbh!
There is actually a lot of evidence out there to support that Christianity was created on a foundation of stoicism.
Certainly partial foundation I totally agree! Even in the book of acts it mentions stoics and epicureans being involved in discussions surrounding the early formations of the Christian church as such when it was a more clearly separated thing from Judaism
(Or more accurately at the very start of when it was clearly becoming a different thing from Judaism)
