Christianity is often used as a coping device for inaction, even when under tyranny and slavery. It is a theological means to psychologically endure one’s gnostic unwillingness to struggle against earthly abuse. At its worst, theology is wielded to find pleasure in one’s humiliation. Many Christian leaders today are children of Rousseau in this regard, actively undermining Christian political action that opposes political atheism. They advance a sort of Stockholm syndrome theology.
