    The empires require a pacifist religion to create a subservient and obedient and humble population by the cheapest means possible: false promise.

    Hence imperial gods.

    THE SECULARIZATION DEBATE

    Read this:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secularization

    And This

    Philip S. Gorski (2000) “Historicizing the Secularization Debate: Church, State, and Society in Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe, ca. 1300 to 1700” American Sociological Review (65:1) Special Issue: “Looking Forward, Looking Back: Continuity and Change at the Turn of the Millenium” pp. 138-167 http://www.jstor.org/stable/2657295

    The Disciplinary Revolution

    In his 2003 book, The Disciplinary Revolution: Calvinism and the Rise of the State in Early Modern Europe,[5] Gorski offers a new explanation for the rise of a strong, centralized nation-state in certain areas of Europe in early Modernity, when other areas were not as successful.[citation needed] Gorski rejects[citation needed] two of the dominant explanations, which are the bellicist explanation, which sees military growth as key to the emergence of strong states, and the neo-Marxist explanation, which sees economic factors as key to the explanation. Instead, Gorski points to the strong influence of religion in the formation of strong states. Specifically, Gorski sees Calvinism as crucial to the emergence of the Netherlands and Prussia as strong, centralized states, because of its emphasis on discipline and public order. The effects of Calvinism could be seen in crime rates, in education, in military effectiveness, in financial responsibility, and many other parts of Dutch and Prussian social life, all of which increased their ability to form bureaucratic states.[citation needed] Where in the Netherlands the effect of Calvinism was from the ground upwards, as most of its population was indeed Calvinist, in Prussia—where most of the population was Lutheran and only the royal house was Calvinist—the effect was from the rulers downwards (to some extent through the Pietist Lutheran movement, which was influenced by Calvinism).[citation needed]

    No. It is that the faithful need faith, and the rational need reason, and that while we disagree on the narrative (theological rational, scientific) we agree on means (behavior) and ends. I cannot legislate either belief or unbelief, as such, the law must be written …

  • RELIGION AND THE SECTS Religion combines wisdom literature, rituals, and social

    RELIGION AND THE SECTS

    Religion combines wisdom literature, rituals, and social assembly to create personal, interpersonal, social, and political mindfulness with of a system of intuitive, coherent measurement, that relieves the pre-consious brain of stress about status, conflict, and uncertainty. We gain the elation of the primitive animal running with, hunting, feasting, resting, and safety within the pack (herd). Narratives (stories) using archetypes (expressions of instincts) are the most imprecise but universal and easily understood system of measurement.

    Christianity works. Religion works. Institutions, traditions, laws, and norms work. For the same reason: error elimination on one hand, and norm creation on the other, together which reduce cognitive load, which reduce stress, which maintains self image, which maintains status in interacting with others.

    Of the christian sects it appears that we find the best of something in each group. In evangelical protestantism we find the closest to Jesus’ teachings. In orthodoxy we find the preservation of tradition, and nationalism. In Catholicism we find an attempt at an intellectual and philosophical expansion of the underlying theology. In secular christianity we find the completion of the christian evolution into the via negativa natural law AND via positiva christian love.

    I can quite easily explain what we find as failing in each of those traditions – most of which result in (a) universalism (b) failure to accommodate the fundamental, ritualistic-traditional, phiosophical-moral, and scientific spectrum – and worse, a failure to integrate and retain our martial gods and their teachings – that saved us in the real world when christianity failed.

    I admit when I’m wrong all the time. I make many mistakes (irrelevant) but I err (relevant) very infrequently. Not because I am special but because the P-method makes it very, very, difficult to err.

    Mithra was the origin of the political utility of monopoly. Zoroastrian the religion of that successful monopoly.

    Sol Invictus was a rotation like Odin->Tyr replacement, to compete with Mithra.

    Jesus was a ‘capture’ of john the baptist (jesus’ competitor for prophet), Mithra, Pagan Sun Gods, and from hindu: “Christ”=”Krishna”, from Egyptian: Osiris, the king as son-of-god, mediator with god, trinity, isis=holy spirit, cross, baptism, eucharist, and mythology, and the was bible an attempt to replace the Epic Cycle esp. aristocratic Achilles with his mirror image.

    –“Zoroaster’s religious innovation was the cosmic struggle between Ahura Mazda, a supreme wise and benevolent deity, and Angra Mainyu, Ahura’s evil opponent. Here on earth, humans can support this struggle by taking sides. Living a virtuous life supports Ahura Mazda and contributes to the triumph of good over evil. Zoroaster encouraged his followers to worship Ahura Mazda, the Wise Lord, claiming that the old Persian deities were unworthy of worship and should be considered spirits of destruction.”–

    Jesus wasn’t complicated. He had a single very useful idea of how to resist the predation of the jews on their own, and the threat of their cultural erasure by the great empires, and the need for a means of integrating with or competing with those empires that conveyed mindfulness to the weak and ignorant.

    And it worked. Just like Marxism > Neomarxism > Postmodernism > Feminism > and it’s origins: HBD-Denialism and the natural eugenics of the great civilizations.

    —“Hi Curt… I haven’t done the deep dive into Propertarianism yet, but have watched a number of video’s through John Mark’s Youtube. I am more of a Theocracy based, Freedom to do good, Republic oriented person. But from what I have seen thus far… The proposed expression of Propertarianism can run in harmony with these ideals. Thanks for thinking outside the traditional boxes, and inside a practical and diverse people filled world!”— George Reninger

    Thanks. And thanks for being one of the few people that understands the difference between the freedom to do good (faith), and the constraint on doing bad (law). -hugs.

    —“Thank you for the Affirmation Curt… I have a vision in me, to see the establishment of an Alliance, Like NATO, but among Individuals, Communities & Nations globally (Including Armies) that Covenantally affirm their alignment with the ONE God, His TWO Values of loving God & Neighbor, as well as His TEN governing Commandments regarding ownership affirmations, boundaries & related reciprocities. This could form a “Life, Liberty & Property Grounded” Commonwealth of Nations!”—George Reninger

    This is a beautiful vision. It’s a beautiful vision until you travel the world and meet people with influence, wealth, political, and military power, who have very different visions that are completely hostile to yours. The faithful like women, by design, live in an echo chamber – even when they travel the world. I never, ever, ever, make the mistake that ‘community of faith’ scales beyond those who know one another personally. Just as female cognition fails beyond those who know one another personally, just as male cognition succeeds largely beyond those who know one another personally. This goal of harmony is the same reason women fail in politics. It is why the church always failed as a political system, and why neither jews nor islam can produce a political system but why the jews remain dependent upon host populations just as females upon males. And why the muslims cannot organize anything beyond a family, or family business, a government other than tribal despots, or a military capable of other than small group acts of terrorism. The family, neighborhood, local church community, and village does not scale. Gods, evolution of us, divided the female and male cognition for reasons. Because for every man like you that seeks consensus, peace and harmony – there are men like me who seek power, to bend man, beast, animal, plant, world and universe to our will. And the moment people like you are marginally successful with your vision, the men like me in competing cultures, states, empires, and civilizations will conquer you for your folly. This ever has been and every will be. Because God left us with these rules: the laws of nature, the natural law of man, the christian law of love, and the evolutionary law of transcendence. There is no steady state. No condition of eternal peace. The faithful like the woman, seeks steady state free of competition. And steady state means you are just a human herd – food for the Red Queen of evolution, because you have forgotten, and denied, that God gave us the evolutionary law of transcendence, and set us in competition with one another, so that those of use who defied that law would be eradicated by those that obey that law. In fact, I would make the rather obvious argument that the abrahamic faiths exist for the sole purpose of denying God’s laws of transcendence – which is why jews accomplished noting until integrated into Aristotelian Empiricism of Europeans, and the muslims consumed and destroyed every civilization of the ancient world – and are now threatening to destroy ours. Because christians like the female, share this violation of God’s Law of Evolutionary Transcendence. This denial of one of the four sets of god’s laws is why christianity is failing among the educated classes and is devolving into a folk religion and has lost its chances – possibly forever – as a political religion. Christianity will either adapt to the necessity of Trifunctionalism: the competitive compatibility between the military, the judicial, and the faith, or it will continue to be the cause of its decline, because it is too selfish to obey one of god’s laws: the organized use of violence by the militia, to defend the faith, it’s people, and the law that together are the only people on this earth who have transcended man out of superstition, ignorance, hard labor, poverty, starvation, disease, suffering, and the chaos of a natural world that has given us but twelve thousand years of respite, but otherwise has sought to exterminate us with regularity. Love does not conquer all. Love serves only integrate the conquered into loving one another in conformity of god’s laws revealed by god’s hand – not scripture written by men. The unconquered are the enemy of our people, of our god, of god’s law of transcendence, and as a consequence of mankind, and our destiny to sit at the hand of the father of us all.
