Why would someone not be an asshole/idiot in a traditional christian society?
Post by twetch#1485
Because it lowers your social status. Humility gets rewarded, arrogance and selfishness get punished. And because every man has his own wife, there's no absolute need to become the alpha of the group to spread ones genes. No need to go against fellow men.

That just disguises competition under a bunch of lies.
It's coopetition in the true sense of the word. You compete in cooperating. The one who gives the most, receives the most. If the christian doctrine is correctly applied, it's an upward spiral for each individual in the group.
I don't believe christianity is actually capable of accomplishing that and I think that christians have been deceived into acting against their own interest. The Amish can be seen to be an unhappy society by the degree to which it is difficult to leave.
Doubt that. www.businessinsider.com/if-you-want-to-be-happier-should-you-be-a-billionaire-or-be-amish-2012-4?r=DE&IR=T Every amish gets the chance to experience the outside world for a year and still most of them decide to return to their group.
Thats generalizing.
Amish are actually encouraged to leave their communes in their late teens/20s and see the world. The brainwash there is strong. Alot go exploring and most come back for the values.
Theres a youtube series about that.
What christian doctrine are you talking about? from the great church, after great schism (11th century)? protestant reformation (16th century)? eastern? western? or are you just talking about the last 100+ something years since your grandparents and WWI¿?
Scripture. New testament.
