  • WE SURVIVED CHRISTIANITY, NOTHING MORE —“Idk why intelligent Christians insist

    WE SURVIVED CHRISTIANITY, NOTHING MORE

    —“Idk why intelligent Christians insist on using the term “Judeo-Christian” to describe Western values. Is it a matter of habit, protective lip service, or dishonesty? The wellspring of the West is Christianity, not Judaism. Saying so isn’t hateful, it’s just a fact. Embrace it!”—Faith J Goldy @FaithGoldy

    Nope. It’s correct to say (a) that it describes jews, (b) it was developed by jews, (c) distributed by jews, (d) imposed upon the west by force by the byzantines (syrians, balkans, anatolians), and that europeans germanicized jewish christianity into a european folk religion.

    But there is nothing european about it, other than wrapping paper of our Sun God, and it’s the inversion of the western heroic tradition which was aristocratic, militaristic, competitive, gods were troublemakers to appeal to or avoid and achilles was the man to imitate.

    Before the jewish, christian, and islamic destruction of all the civilizations of the ancient world, the foundation narrative of western (mediterranean) civilization was Homer, and it was as common a subject of thought as the medieval bible – and to much superior consequence.

    We survived judaism, christianity, and islam. The great civilizations of the egyptians, north africans, persians, anatolians, byzantines, nw indians, and the one-billion murdered by them did not.

    The reason we may not survive the current attack upon western civilization by judaism (undermining by the pseudoscience and sophisms of marxism, feminism, postmodernism) and supernatural sophism of islam, is because christians do not yet grasp they made us weak, and still do.

    Religious,Traditional, and Moral conservatism failed because we did not convert our history to science: the natural law, the physical laws, because christians resisted loss of the dogma. So the sophism and pseudoscience and supernaturalism of the enemy could not be ended by Law.

    Look in the mirror. Your weakness under democracy is what made us fail. Democracy, Christianity, And Women.

    Western civilization’s foundations are Heroism, Excellence, Truth regardless of cost (truth before face), sovereignty, reciprocity, the jury, and competitive markets in all aspects of life, resulting in a natural aristocracy. Christianity was just another means of undermining us.

    We already had over a thousand years of Abrahamic Dark age in this world, from which northern europeans, least christianized and corrupted by the church, dragged mankind kicking and screaming out of superstition, ignorance poverty hard labor and disease.

    Abraham is the only Demon to have walked this earth.

    The wellspring of European people were the Yamna, the west indo european people, who combined horse, bronze, wheel, language, The Sky Father, Dayus Pitar, Zeus Pater, Jupiter, Sol, and the New Gods of the Germanic peoples.

    Paternalistic, Hierarchical, Militaristic, Heroic.

    Slaves submit to a despotic god.

    Our ancestors rose above the gods.

    And it is their heritage that made us.

    Christianity was our Dark Age of Ignorance and Poverty.

    Jesus was a superstitions illiterate philosopher who was too unsophisticated to speak in the most advanced knowledge of the time: greek reason. If you want to live the life of jesus vs epicurus vs socrates or any other, then do so and you will prosper and find happiness.

    But never claim that the semitic religion of christianity was a good for our people. That’s just called ‘survivor bias’.

    We survived it. Nothing more.

    RELIGION SOLVED A CALCULATION PROBLEM

    (core)

    Religion provides mindfulness. mindfulness is produced by personal sedation of powerlessness, interpersonal accounting of reciprocity, social accounting of position in hierarchy, and economic accounting of proportionality, and political insurance (defense).

    So to say a religion provides morality is false. A religion provides the means of instructing us on a given strategy for the preservation of reciprocity and proportionality which always and everywhere describes morality.

    So while we demand mindfulness across that spectrum, the only one that is not reproducible by law is personal sedation of powerlessness – which can be produced by any ritualistic means – the most scientific of which is what we call the stoic method of self construction, or what is called, cognitive behavioral therapy, and the epicurean objective (living within your means), and the social experience of collective feast, oath, sport, and festival.

    The ‘evil’ in the abrahamic religions is insidious on at least the following counts: abrahamic lying, denial of reality, submission instead of achievement, surrender instead of action, and the falsehood of equality, the falsehood of man as fallen angel among evil humans, rather than man as risen beast domesticated by his betters.

    Religion solves a problem native to consciousness which is the evolution of man in small groups where he and she have agency and full knowledge of one another and insurance of one another instead of anonymity in a chaotic world with none of the above. Institutional religion evolved as a pre-literate law code that could be taught by recitation of parables and stories, which was the only means of teaching in the era.

    So religion evolves into law evolves into science. And in science (Truth) we are the gods – there are none other. And those we call gods are but the memories of those who came before us, and the visions of what we wish to become. Because that is all our brains are capable of creating.

    I don’t err often and as far as I know all improvement in understanding of religion will simply continue to increase the precision of this description.

    Cheers

    Doctrinal Christianity – because faith

    Spiritual Christianity – because feels.

    Rational Christianity – because it’s good

    Empirical Christianity – because it seems to work

    Scientific Christianity – because of the five rules.

    There are five major branches, an thousands of sects.

    Mathematics is not open to interpretation.

    Logic isn’t open to interpretation.

    Physical Laws aren’t open to interpretation

    Propertarianism is not open to interpretation

    Why is it that religions claim truth if they are open to interpretation?

  • “Also, Curt Doolittle, what do you recommend for a non-Christian theist looking

    —“Also, Curt Doolittle, what do you recommend for a non-Christian theist looking to delve into Germanic spirituality/theology? There are very few good sources (I find many “pagans” to be cringe-inducing despite the fact that I consider myself to be a “pagan”).”— Henry Harrison

    Shrines to nature, cemeteries for ancestors, and statues to heroes, and temples to our gods (archetypes). If I have to choose those archetypes I would choose a sacred site for odin(wisdom, knowledge, cunning, chaos, the vicissitude of nature), Tyr (Order, Law, Truth, leadership), and Thor (force, forces of nature, courage), and Freya (Fertility, love, beauty, beautiful things).

    Take note that there are no submissive relations to the gods. No archetypes of good and evil. Only the WILL OF MAN OVER ALL, gods included. I say this not because they are the best archetypes, but because they are the least bad – the least infected by the middle east. And the most ‘ours’. And that there isn’t much else known about them, so they they provoke a natural mystery rather than an artificial one. The mystery of our ancestors lost to us in anonymous time. And I have a thing for thanking the great men of history. Not some ideal substitute. And as many of them as possible. Aristotle, Michelangelo, Alexander, Aurelius, Washington and Jefferson, and hundreds more.

    Men with sh–t ancestors develop false ones they call gods. Those of us with great ancestors have no need of the false ones.

    Worship (thanks for our inheritance) is not for the gods. Its for you, and those that follow you, to continue to pay the debts, so that we continue to produce our lines, our culture, and our civilization.

    That is religion.

    The rest is therapy.

    There is only one ‘bad’ method of mindfulness, and that is supernatural religion – that while cheap to indoctrinate, produces the horrors upon the world of judaism, christianity and islam – the enemies of mankind.

    So whether High Agency Truth, Limited Agency Self Improvement, Lower Agency Self Discipline, or lowest Agency Self Sedation with falsehood, we seek the means of mindfulness that suits our agency – ability and resources in the soft competition between superpredators: cooperation.

    Most supernatural philosophies – those we rightly call religion – seek to achieve mindfulness by denying status competition, producing an imaginary equality instead of an existential status competition, pretense of oppression rather than incompetence, or promising a future world.

    Some pseudoscientific philosophies like Buddhism seek to achieve mindfulness by forgoing agency in the world, and instead developing it in yourself – to tolerate the status competition and all other difficulties in the world.

    Never fight the war of all-against-all we call status competition unless you have little chance of failure. It generates few winners and everyone else loses. The same for rule of law vs the false dichotomy of capitalism and socialism both of which create wars of all against all.
