    ABRAHAMISM vs CHRISTIANITY vs ARISTOTELIANISM

    —“I don’t understand part of this. You state that ‘I can be a rational Christian if….’ but also say later that there is ‘no difference between judaism and Christianity…’ (I am broadly paraphrasing) How can both sentences be true?
    Not disagreeing, just studying to understand.”—Castle Gate

    Understood. Followers tend to ‘get’ this by continuous exposure.

    The METHOD of Abrahamism (Judaism,Christianity, Islam)
    – versus –
    The CONTENT of christianity (the five laws of christian cooperation).

    The METHOD of Abrahamism:
    1 – False Promise (in this case of equality, life after death etc)
    2 – Baiting into Hazard (Undermining Civilization)
    3 – By the twin sophisms of Pilpul and Critique
    4 – Using Sophism, Pseudoscience, Magic, and Supernaturalism
    5 – For profiteering by the lying class (Priests, Public Intellectuals, Politicians, Bureaucrats, Marketers and Advertisers, and Financiers(Lenders, Userers).
    6 – Bringing about civilizational collapse and dysgenia.

    The CONTENT of Christianity
    1) the eradication of hatred from the human heart.
    2) the extension of familial love to kith and kin.
    3) the demand for personal acts of charity and personal cost,
    4) the extension of exhaustive forgiveness before punishment, enserfment, enslavement, death, or war,
    5) and placing faith in doing so, despite the apparent risk and cost
    6) Bringing about the most exhaustive means of producing cooperation that is possible by man. (hence its success, and islams failure, and judaism’s justified persecution.)

    The METHOD of Aristotelianism
    1) Excellence and Heroism
    2) Truth and Duty
    3) Sovereignty and Reciprocity
    4) Judge and Jury of Peers
    5) Markets in everything
    6) Bringing about the most innovative and adaptive and prosperous organization of man possible by man.

    The CONTENT of Aristotelianism.
    1. Laws of Nature (physical – acted upon )
    2. Natural Law ( human – acted by )
    3. Bringing about continuous correspondence consistency and coherence of reality.
    4. Via Negativa eliminating ignorance, error, bias, fictionalism, and deceit,
    5. Producing Agency, Autonomy, and Sovereignty.

    PROPERTARIANISM IS THE METHOD OF ARISTOTELIANISM.

    —“I’m curious of a similar breakdown of the teachings of other major religions or philosophies, as you did with stoicism and christianity. Say Islam or Confusianism in China?”— Carl Persson

    I did confucianism but it was really easy, because it’s not complicated structurally, has no lies or woo woo to overcome, and is limited only by their language, the early concentration of power possible by their martial aristocracy, their failure to solve the problem of politics, and therefore they directed the entirety of the society into a ‘harmonious hierarchy’. If you look at chinese philosophy as Sun Tzu (Rule), Confucian (Administration), and Lao Tzu (Labor) and Buddhsim (complacency), you see their tripartism+ very close to ours: Military and Scientific Epistemology ( Machiavelli-Clausewitz-Keegan, Aristotle-Hamilton-Adams-Jefferson, Locke-Smith-Hume-Darwin-Menger, and the christian theologians. Like most older civs the chinese started with a hierarchy ad river valley, but because they were homogenous, kin, they didn’t have the problems of the middle east. So the difference between west and east is agrarian concentration there and distribution here, our language which is technological and legal (Later) rather than agrarian and ‘wisdom lit’ (earlier), and market (unconsolidated power) vs monolithic (consolidated power), but otherwise they are not that different … other than have taken neoteny a lot farther than we have and… well, they have no choice but to wall off the rest of the world.

    The only hard one is Hinduism which isn’t really a religion it’s a wisdom literature that they practice as a way of life.

    Buddhism was a reformation of hinduism, but over time the ‘god thing’ crept back in there and ruined it.

    I’m kind of anti-buddhist because it’s a recipe for inaction (withdrawl) while stoicism is one of empowerment but vulnerable to woo woo, so I’m sticking with the stoick method of self authoring virtues and the epicurean program otherwise.

    That’s the best personal philosophy(means of decidability).

    For social philosophy (means of decidability) it’s hard to beat christianity’s five natural laws.

    For political philosophy (decidability) it’s hard to beat rule of law by natural law, the judge and jury and commons.

    I mean, I’m all up for inventing predatory and parasitic cults – and I”m happy to return to the predation of my ancestors. But if you want cooperation instead, well, we know how to do it.

    Natural law.

    Render under the gods what is the gods’, and render unto
    Caesar what is Caesar’s. I am man of Caesar, doing the
    work of Caesar, in the language, currency, and law of Caesar.
    The faithful have priests to appeal to. And priests have their
    gods. And Neither Caesar nor I have time for either. 😉

    —“What do you think would happen if Christianity faded from the US?”—Michael D. Abbott

    Do you mean religious, philosophical, or secular?

    As a religion, It is fading, It’s dividing into protestant evangelicals (power) and secular christianity with the major decline (Predictably) coming from either leftist protestants or catholics. And the catholic decline is obviously the result of vatican II, the empty chair, the sexual crimes of the churchmen, the church’s failure to do a purge of sexual predators, the failure to allow married priests, the failure to demand well educated priests (psychologists, psychotherapists), and in general her abandonment of the educated.

    Only churchy people think the church is important.
    Our people need a religion in the sense that they need a binding mythos, binding rituals, and means of social and personal mindfulness.

    And we need social sanction of birth, rite of passage, marriage, birth, and death.

    But whatever that system is, the church as we know it is dead in the professional and upper classes.

    We have no great narrative builder in the west OTHER THAN ENEMIES.

    I have to work on Caesar until I”m done. If no one solves Religion by the time I get to it, and assuming I live long enough to get to it, maybe I’ll work on it.

    YOU WANT A RELIGION? WHAT DOES THAT MEAN?

    Y’all want a binding narrative. A system of belonging that does not require you to adapt to others, but that all others adapt to a third standard. That is the value of these systems of myth, thought, behavior, and rule.

    The west has a system and it is the militia.
    It has a binding narrative and that is our ancient enemy.

    Show up.

    CHRISTIANITY: CHURCHY FAMILIES ARE BETTER. PERIOD.

    The problem is, churchy families are better. You gotta deal with the reality of it. Christianity produces mindfulness by exhaustion of forgiveness. It works by the opposite means of islam, which demands obedience and submission. So the five rules of christianity are not only consistent with natural law, they are an enhancement of it it beyond what the law itself implies. They are the via positiva of the via negativa law. But that said, how do we produce a militant, defensive and offensive, kinship-centric means of producing mindfulness, using parable or history, personal and civil ritual, that embodies those five rules – without the cancer of abrahamism that comes with them and the constant reinforcement false promise, lies, and continuously teaching the abrahamic means of lying – which christians are so desperate to practice and develop skill in.

    THE ONLY HARD PROBLEM
    It’s the only substantial problem. How do I prevent abrahamic lying and suicidal pathological altruism when christianity is composed of abrahamic lying and pathological altruism? I mean, exhaustive forgiveness is at least rational. Pathological unregulated, limitless altruism is just suicidal. I want to eradicate all lying in the commons and I can’t do it because of our people’s dependence upon this religion. It’s like many things. The limits (kin) aren’t stated. And the virtue signaling rather than interpersonal acts of charity that lift the recipient into self sufficiency are disastrous. And allowing women to vote us into funding grifters is magnitudes worse.

    I have a god. He has no name. I call him Sky Father, as did my

    thousand years of my people’s history — too many to list – any
    number of whom to pray to for counsel. I have ancestors to
    thank for my inheritance. I have nature to thank for her
    bounty. I have my people. I have my family, I have my friends. I
    have my will. I have my body. And that is all I need. To want
    more is to dishonor all of them.
