—“Pythagoras, Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle are a kind of break away Indo-European Gothar. In the same light of Zoroaster and Buddha. But I don’t believe you can have “science” as religion as pure logic.”—Bjorn Asbrandsson
You can, you just choose different heroes of history, and understand how the brain makes auto-associations. God: tiwaz/tyr, spiritual leaders: odin-mind/thor-body, lawgiver: aristotle, statesman: aurelius, general: caesar, hero: alexander, warrior: Achilles; and debts to ancestors (spirits), nature (spirits), the universe(spirits) itself. That’s my pantheon. And my religion is painfully scientific (realism, naturalism, operationalism, auto-association) Its the auto-association that bridges science with what we call religion or faith. Took me a lot of work to figure that out.
