“The moral arc of the universe is long but it bends towards justice”
I think it’s a beautiful idea and maybe it’s ultimately true, but at the very least it’s not linear. The rise of Christianity seems to be a reaction against the domination of Rome over the known world, the oppression of the powerful over the weak, the rich over the poor.
Hunter gatherer societies tend to be rather egalitarian, so the rise of “civilization” would certainly be a backwards step on the path of waking to the social concept of life. Rome brought about such an extreme of the animal life that Christianity rose to balance it out, yet of course it corrupted and misused and now today it stands to be lost entirely, destroyed of any of the good in it by those that use the shield of “Christian” to restore a dominating animal life back over the world.
In my estimation we are forever caught in an endless loop with a rising and falling of our empathy and “divine awareness” as a species and we will go on and on until the race of men is ultimately extinguished.
I personally feel that this life is a hell from which we have to try and escape but that’s just my own intuition
