There are no gods. Jesus was a man. He had a simple message: stop fighting amongst yourselves over trivial things and take care of each other. Instead of trigger happy intolerance of the pastoral and slave peoples who lacked property and ability, take the opposite approach which is the extension of kinship love to non kin. That’s all he says. That’s all that matters. And it’s *a purely scientific statement*.
The ancient world had freed men from desperate dependence upon land, and allowed them to migrate to cultural capital and material capital so that their *human capital* could be put to use.
However, this transition required that people abandon the trigger sensitivity of pastoralists living on the margins and instead, ENTER THE MARKET for simple labor, and cooperate with many others that had come from different backgrounds.
So where the tower of babel presented the problem of language and the need for a common language, when craftsmen were pulled from around the new empire to create a new palace, the single, simple lesson of jesus was to provide a common *moral test* for people.
This is a primitive attempt to achieve the same effect as natural law.
The problem was not in this message. It was in EVERYTHING ELSE in christianity: which was weaponized to destroy the empire, and all of western civilization.
