Mar 31, 2020, 3:39 PM They are too primitive. They start with god (submission) rather than sovereignty ( responsibility). They don’t include truthful speech regardless of cost. They don’t prevent the great crimes of history (sophistry, false promise, baiting into hazard, fraud) Instead they are the origin of the license for the great crimes of history. They aren’t the source of good. They are the source of evil. Why? Because any half truth spreads ignorance.

Summary of Religion
Apr 13, 2020, 6:05 PM (worth repeating) The primary purpose of christianity is to obtain one’s status from the via positiva love of jesus and via negativa fear of god, so that one’s animal instincts are not victims of the judgements and opinions of others. This is the first function of religion. This function may scale upward to the social and political, and downward to sedation in times of anguish and suffering. The human accounting system is status, because the physical universe, the necessity of acquisition, the utility of cooperation, and the discounts and premiums on cooperation produced by one’s status – and christianity effectively insulates one from market competition on other than the terms of christian love. In other words – christianity is communism for social status which is why jews and christians are suckers for socialism. Everything else is decoration.

God Is God, Jesus Is Jesus, and Monopoly Its Not

—“Just because most organized religions are corrupt money and power machines, doesn’t make the Christ any less the God of this world… Look at what the nation under God has become.”—Patrick Huntley
Scientifically speaking, of god’s laws, christ added a minor improvement to natural law – one that is counter-intuitive to primitive man – and that gave women and the underclasses a philosophy of self respect and social value despite being left behind by the rapid advancements of the ancient material world, just like marxism, socialism, feminism, and postmodernism tried to give social value to the women, underclasses, and immigrants in the modern material world. God is god. Jesus is Jesus. His contribution is profound. But it is profound as a minor improvement on god’s laws that perhaps could not have been discovered until so many people in the underclasses were left behind by the advancements in the ancient world. The modern world’s jews updated this EMOTIONAL (Spiritual) jewish social construction in the ancient world and it’s claim of prosecution by their aristocratic betters, from claims of political power and informational power, to claims of economic, political, and informational power. This is contrary to the european tradition of reason, stoicism, Epicureanism, the play, and celebratory festivals that were costly and the asian tradition of buddhism which was cheap both of which achieve their ends without destroying the host aristocracy as did christianity, judaism, and islam. Christianity was a cheap way of powerless people to obtain status and self image at the cost of destroying the host political order. Islam the same. Judaism the same. Religion destroys in exchange for psychological comfort. The question was and is, whether we can produce a religion that doesn’t destroy in exchange. So far that is the roman: reason, stoicism, Epicureanism, the play, and celebratory festivals that are expensive. The success of western civlization is due to our traditional social order of a universal militia, law, and their traditions. The underclass religions of abrahamism are a means by which those that would be slaves, serfs, servants, the poor, and mothers could seek mindfulness in an increasingly advanced world that was leaving them behind – and by which a cast of priests – also being left behind by modernity – could rule them for profit. Man is not moral or good. He is amoral and practical. It is our institutions of suppression of the bad that limit him to the good.

In Pursuit of A Truthful Religion
May 5, 2020, 1:13 PM We know religions exist and we know why: mindfulness necessary to reduce the stress of the neural economy. We know gods exist – at the very least as information. We also know monotheism is a lie by the evidence – gods change, are invented, and discarded all the time in response to human needs. We know submission is bad by the evidence – it has made us vulnerable to defeat. We know abrahamic theology is bad by the evidence because it teaches the abrahamic method of lying. We know the abrahamic method of lying is bad by the evidence. It’s worse than anything other than the plagues. We are trying to discover how to produce a non-false science of religion that is consistent and coherent across all disciplines. From that science we may reconstruct or construct a foundation for future religion. If you are habituated to your abrahamic monotheism that’s understandable. But it’s just a habituation not a good nor a truth. Man may require mindfulness like he requires rest (he does). But man does not need what you claim he does, which is why we have produced so many different means of obtaining mindfulness. You have been trained to feel you need what you do. But this was done to you and invented so it could be done to you for a reason: to organize the underclasses against the aristocracy (which wasn’t necessarily a bad thing until the underclass and priesthood set out to rule by deceit rather than the truth of physical, natural, and evolutionary laws.) Christian behavior (mindfulness insulated from status signaling and status competition) is a good. How do we produce Christian behavior (not belief) without the falsehoods and negative externalities? How do we do it without christian sophistry, pacifism, tolerance, and cowardice? This is not a question of eliminating your faith. It is a question of providing the ‘goods’ of civic religion for those unable to believe the falsehoods you are willing to believe in exchange for your mindfulness. In other words, you don’t matter. You have mindfulness already. You can believe in these things you do. We can’t. We aren’t able to believe falsehoods for ANY reason. We want to prohibit false promises in the new generation that is undermining our civlization like christianity and islam undermined our ancient civlization.. And you only hurt our efforts to stop what has destroyed your religion with your attempts to perpetuation of the falsehoods – you only assist the enemy – and that’s why it is demonstrably winning. The false promise of marxism, feminism, postmodernism in this world is more advantageous a ‘sales strategy’ than the false promise of eternal something or other after death. I will probably spend another decade on this problem. It’s a very hard problem. But I currently see the foundations of that religion, because I see the non-false consistency across physics, biology, evolution, cooperation, sociology, and psychology – to the politics and religion that must result. And is is more like our natural germanic religions : a market and truths – than it is our unnatural semitic religion: a monopoly and lies. In that religion Jesus is a philosopher or prophet of the feminine replacing the female gods of fertility, love, and beauty. And as such that is probably a bad thing. And instead, he should be considered a philosopher or prophet of discipline, by which the underclasses could achieve status by behavior rather than wealth or power. The aristocracy did not have this discipline and did abuse the peasantry, slaves, and women. Jesus gave them a route to respect, and in respect, social equality if not economic and military. He made it possible to demonstrate middle class ethics without middle class resources. And in doing so provided a resistance to the (hedonistic) aristocracy who then, like today, used various forms of excess to demonstrate their social status. And that was his genius. And that is his legacy. And that is the truth not the lie.
