Why The Unholy Truth Exists
Christianity has often been treated as untouchable—wrapped in tradition, protected by power, and regarded as sacred beyond question. But no belief system, no institution, should be immune to scrutiny.
This blog exists because critical thinking belongs in all domains of life—including the spiritual.
The Legacy of Blood and Chains
Christianity didn’t expand through inspiration alone. It grew alongside empires—through conquest, assimilation, and cultural dominance. From forced conversions of indigenous peoples to the sanctification of colonial expansion, the Church often operated hand-in-hand with political power.
Behind the image of a crucified savior stands a long history of real-world crucifixions—of cultures, languages, beliefs, and people. This isn’t an indictment of all believers, but a necessary look at the structural systems that used religion as a tool for dominance.
No other institution has been so globally influential while remaining so widely unchallenged for its role in silencing dissent, restricting bodily autonomy, and shaping moral narratives through fear.
The Psychology of Belief and Control
What makes Christianity uniquely complex is not only its historical influence—but its psychological architecture.
It teaches inherited guilt through the idea of original sin. It introduces the concept of eternal punishment. It elevates self-denial, discourages bodily intuition, and casts doubt as a threat to salvation.
This is not a neutral system of faith. It is a deeply embedded structure that rewires behavior through spiritualized obedience.
Millions grow up believing they are flawed by nature. That love must be earned through submission. That pleasure is suspicious. That questioning is dangerous. And perhaps most insidiously, that the voice regulating them is divine.
The Reframing of the Divine
One of the most consequential effects of Christian theology is how it redefined the concept of God.
Rather than a mystery, God is presented as a sovereign patriarch—wrathful, demanding, and conditional. He is described as both loving and punitive, merciful and threatening. A being who created hell before you were born, but offers heaven if you comply.
The figure of Jesus—whether historical or symbolic—has been framed as a messenger of peace, while also serving as the gatekeeper to salvation through suffering. This duality is not an accident. It is part of a larger structure where obedience and fear become indistinguishable from reverence.
The Human Cost
This blog exists because silence comes with consequences.
Across the world today, individuals—especially women, queer youth, and marginalized communities—are still being shaped by Christian-based moral codes that punish authenticity and elevate conformity.
People are still losing their families, their mental health, their bodily autonomy, and even their lives because of doctrine. And often, the damage doesn’t come from violence—it comes from the internalization of fear disguised as faith.
This isn’t just about history. It’s about what’s happening right now—in classrooms, in homes, and in the unconscious beliefs carried by entire cultures.
What This Blog Will Do
This blog will:
-
Reveal the true origin of Christianity in the ancient pagan world.
Examine the content of scripture in full—not just the parts framed as inspirational.
-
Explore the historical entanglement between Church and empire.
-
Uncover the psychological techniques used to shape thought, identity, and behavior.
-
Analyze how certain theological teachings can limit human potential and spiritual autonomy.
It will not offer sanitized summaries or gentle reassurances. It will ask hard questions. It will engage history, theology, and psychology without hesitation or deference.
And it will do so with evidence, clarity, and the voice of someone who left the system and now seeks to understand it from the outside in.
For Those Carrying the Weight
If you’ve ever felt guilt for asking hard questions…
If you’ve walked away from a faith system and still hear its echoes in your mind…
If you’ve lost belonging, identity, or safety because you couldn’t pretend to believe…
This is your space.
You are not broken. You were taught to doubt yourself. And the difference between those two things changes everything.
This Is The Unholy Truth
This blog is a call for awareness about the systems that have shaped human consciousness in the name of the sacred. It does not reject spirituality. It rejects the idea that obedience equals virtue, that inherited guilt is righteousness, or that divinity demands submission. Here, we will remember what came before doctrine. We will name what was erased by it. And we will begin to ask: what can be reclaimed beyond it?
Read. Question. Reclaim.
You were never meant to live in fear of your own mind.
