I was in a conversation about social change where a conservative Christian said "But suffering is inevitable."

I realised that I used to believe that.

Now, when directly challenged, conservative Christians don't believe God is sadistic, but there is a large -- and largely unquestioned -- vein of fatalism and/or nihilism running through Christianity.

This deeply affects adhedents' whole lives, including their political choices. It's a big deal.

well, Genesis would tilt the belief system in that direction.

and, Buddhism also teaches that life is suffering.

their approaches to handling it differ significantly, however.
