    I can’t say I disagree. The tendency to outright dismiss christianity online is understandable, but a little frustrating. Even with that horrifying core, a lot of people find solace in it. For many, it’s the only semblence of community that’s lasted into the 21st century.

    On another level, it’s just plain interesting the sorts of stories people felt needed to be preserved. It speaks to how they lived and what they valued. A lot has changed, and a lot hasn’t. That kind of narrative window into the past is valuable, and I’m glad I grew up with it, even if I don’t consider myself Christian anymore.
