  • The Origins of Natural Religion

    Dec 1, 2019, 8:55 AM What’s the difference between the hunt and resulting feast, throwing a piece of meat on the fire to thank nature for her bounty, dancing around a fire that night to tell the story with moral heroic or tragic framing, with everyone drumming, chanting, singing, or reciting along – and religion? Absolutely nothing. That’s the purpose religion fulfills: the pack is happy together, and we are happy, calm, safe, ‘belonging’, within it: mindfulness. Then there are people who use religion for evil: and those are the fundamentalists who have lost the point, either out of insecurity or need for sense of agency – when they have none.

  • Soul = Account of Debts (threats) and Credits (discounts).

    Dec 29, 2019, 1:03 PM Soul = account of debts (threats) and credits (discounts). We are extremely conscious of our status, debts, and credits. We can instantly judge our status debts and credits when we meet others or walk into a room or walk down a street. The Soul is a supernatural narrative of semitic origin like mathematical platonism is an ideal narrative of greek origin – both of which compensate for ancient man’s lack of understanding of the nervous system – a problem we no longer have. You live on in the memories of others as information. Your soul is your balance sheet in the social economy of your people.

  • Yes a Good Religion Is Possible – We Had Them

    Dec 29, 2019, 1:33 PM I’m definitely anti theology, but not anti ‘religion’ in the ancient sense of myth(heroism, tragedy), ritual(sacrifice, debt payment), Oath, feast, sport, and festival, but in addition we require mindfulness as anonymity increases so the stoic-epicurean(science) vs buddhist (nonsense) methods are both superior to the semitic (self destructive). A ‘good’ religion is possible and the romans had just about developed it with Aryanism of homer (upper), Stoicism (upper middle, middle), epicureanism (lower middle), and sol invictus (lower) before the jews began their undermining. Today we know that aryanism of homer (aristocracy) is only available to those with agency, that stoicism was the proactive version of cognitive behavioral therapy and epicureanism the only means of true happiness for ordinary people, and that the underclasses desire escapism by false promise. We see buddhism tried to do all at once, and so did christianity judaism and islam – and all of them through falsehood. In usual european tradition, the market supplied class-religions of aryanism(homer,tragedy), stoicism, epicureanism, and sol invictus (brotherhoood) with christianity attractive mostly to women, slaves, immigrants and the underclasses. Just as Aristotelianism is attractive to our upper classes today, secular christianity our middle, and christianity our working, and islam our underclasses. The european solution to everything is markets that serve the interests of the classes but limited to preservation of cooperation between the classes by truth, duty, promise contract, rule of law of tort-property, and jury. In other words we mandate monopoly only on the material, legal, and political, and let people follow the ‘narrative’ that fits their agency. The problem is, that judaism and islam are both evolved to destroy that market of cooperation and restore authoritarianism and monopoly.

  • The Christian Denominations and Their Variations

    Dec 29, 2019, 1:40 PM Again, orthodoxy survived because the church ‘minded its own business’ and did not as in the west, start with an attack on the aristocracy and seek to destroy it, but was imposed by the state as a means of governing (administering) the (ignorant) peasantry. The truth is that our pagan religions whether mediterranean, Atlantic, Germanic, Scandinavian, Slavic, or Finnic are far superior in mirroring reality than the semitic. But that the Jesus figure is certainly an ideal if we want to cooperate in large numbers across families, clans, tribes and nations. Not how Orthodoxy emphasizes god (the community), Catholicism Church Dogma (political), and Protestantism the life of Jesus(Personal). It’s fascinating that the religion managed to specialize for what was needed for each. However, only orthodoxy (god, community, organized religion), and evangelical protestantism (Jesus personal, folk religion) will survive, and that catholicism (political) has devolved into money-seeking traitor to european civilization and now selling indulgences to the superstitious underclasses.
