—“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.
