Augustine was unironically the first domino in the chain reaction that lead to the modernity of today:
>rejects manichaeanism but holds onto the strict dualism and belief in the physical as evil (original sin), as well as predestination
>1100 years later Calvin reads Augustine and takes all his conclusions (and Luther’s) to their most extreme, says everything is predestined and that true Christians must make their own elect society away from the papists
>50 years later a bunch of English Calvinists leave England and eventually end up in what would be America
>their theology/politics get so inbred and backwards that nobody rational can even beleive it anymore, most Calvinists become hyper-critical deist WASPs
>american revolution happens
>french revolution happens
>industrial revolution happens
>communism happens
>modernity happens
>post modernity happens
All because some dude from Algeria thought his coomer past was too much for him to handle and hyper obsessed over it
