    There is a singular authoritarian dictator. You may not disobey. The punishment for your first infraction is eternal torture.

    But otherwise...yes. Getting to heaven is about winning, and you can't be a winner without there being losers.

    you can't be a winner without there being losers

    There's no biblical reasoning why everyone can't go to heaven, losers are not mandatory. In fact in Christianity, "Jesus died for your sins," so supposedly you get a free pass as long as you aren't a big piece of shit.

    It's the Jehovah's witnesses that think there is limited space in heaven, it's what motivates them to convert everyone. By converting so many unbelievers, they'll rise up the ranks and get that heaven spot for themself. The people they converted? Doomed to hell, I suppose. A sacrifice to get them into heaven.

    JWs are pretty messed up.

    Classless? Having almost everyone be forced to eternally worship one dude sounds like classes to me.

    I think it's more classless as in you don't have to pick fighter or wizard... You can just put your points in whatever skills you want and build novel characters. 🤷

    Classless?!?! Haha, someone look up the heaven flow chart (yes really) for Mormons. 3 levels of heaven and outer darkness (hell). For those that make it to the top, congrats on being a god! You and your many wives will enjoy eternity as you crush the hopes and dreams of your own creation.

    Not exclusive to Mormons. Devine comedy dictates different levels of heaven. Enoch also states levels of heaven.

    Oh I was gonna say same thing!

    Don't forget that in Mormon only heaven, there are three ranks there! Also women swear to serve their husband's.

    So to be the highest rank you have to be a male priesthood holder rank 1 of celestial kingdom.

    Many believe the early church was marxist ("had all things in common", etc).

    Including their women. There are little hints. Paul seems worked up about permissive sex going around, the earliest Gospel has Jesus spend a surprisingly high amount of time, for a rabbi, alone with women. James and Cephus would need a motivation to keep the failing Jerusalem church going, Mary Magedlian seems to have made enemies where she is accused of being permissive (every conservative accusation is a confession), records of lots of children of James, and a cryptic stuff about how there would be no gender in the future and no gender before Jesus. The last line was uttered by a person who told people to unquestionably follow James.

    History of early Christianity makes so much sense if you just treat it like any other cult. Sex, money, power. James and Cephus didn't have money or power so what else could it be?

    But it's okay because they made everyone else's life a living hell. They deserve it.

    I mean, I get it. But what exactly is being produced in heaven such that the workers own the means of its production?

    St. Thomas Aquinas taught that in the natural law all property was part of the commons and that only human law changed this.

    I think the major Christian objection to communism is the materialist dialectic.
