I use the western (european) model of thought: Literature, History, War, Economics, Law, Science, Logic, and Mathematics. (LHWELSLM). I can’t read apologist literature. It’s all Abrahamism. It’s no different from marxism, postmodernism, and feminism, and was and always will be, something forced upon us, that which we struggled to escape, that which we nearly escaped, and that which we are still trying to escape. I do science. I don’t really do philosophy except to undrestand it’s failures. I don’t do theology except to understand its failure. There is no apology for sophism and supernaturalism or pseudoscience that stands scrutiny.

    (FB 1544298380 Timestamp) WHAT DO THESE RELIGIOUS TERMS MEAN? You won’t like the answers…. What do the rituals mean? Membership Fees. What is sacrament? Debt Creation. What is atonement? Debt Repayment. What is baptism? Debt Forgiveness What is the priesthood? Accountant. I told you that you wouldn’t like the answers. All these ‘fancy words’ are code words for debt for creatures who are extremely sensitive to proportionality. (reciprocity). Christianity consists uniquely of just the rules I stated, respect for the women and slaves, in retaliation against tripartism and aristocracy, and nothing else. Everything else is simply our pre-literate western tradition

    (FB 1544293231 Timestamp) I just want to point out that Anglo Christians run away like cowards when challenged. Russians don’t run. They watch. They correct errors. They listen. They learn. They hold their faith. Why? Because faith is not something to argue like the law. Orthodoxy didn’t malinvest in christianity, because christianity never was the source of Russian corruption of oppression or parasitism. It certainly was in europe. One simply performs christian rituals and learns from them. One does not treat them as logic, law, or science. And one does not cower from the the dissonance between faith, reason, and science. Germans are similar in that they all too often cannot conceive of the difference between the moral, good, and true. They straddle the world. However, they are the most ‘correct’ of the civilizations – at least prior to the world wars under which their prussianism was conquered ‘unjustly’. So again, the high trust west, lower trust catholics, lower trust orthodox, and lowest trust east asians. A division of labor of the circumpolar peoples. High risk and innovation to low risk and conservation. Christianity is weak because christians are weak.

This first full-scale treatment of the subject follows a truly interdisciplinary approach, applying to the early medieval period a sociohistorical method similar to that which has already proven fruitful in explicating the history of Early Christianity and Late Antiquity. The encounter of the Germanic peoples with Christianity is studied from within the larger context of the encounter of a predominantly “world-accepting” Indo-European folk-religiosity with predominantly “world-rejecting” religious movements. While the first part of the book develops a general model of religious transformation for such encounters, the second part applies this model to the Germano-Christian scenario. Russell shows how a Christian missionary policy of temporary accommodation inadvertently contributed to a reciprocal Germanization of Christianity.”— https://www.amazon.com/Germanization-Early-Medieval-Christianity-Sociohistorical/dp/0195104668/

Faith is for those so poor in assets, character,agency,and will that they seek excuses for action, inaction, success and failure. That cowardice is for The Herd. Men satisfy the need for action & consequence and learn from it.— Deflation: Decidability > Confidence > Trust > Belief > Faith

    • belief: Meaning “conviction of the truth of a proposition or alleged fact without knowledge” is by 1530s; it is also “sometimes used to include the absolute conviction or certainty which accompanies knowledge”
    • faith: From early 14c. as “assent of the mind to the truth of a statement for which there is incomplete evidence,” especially “belief in religious matters” (matched with hope and charity). Since mid-14c. in reference to the Christian church or religion; from late 14c. in reference to any religious persuasion.

    • trust: from Old Norse traust “help, confidence, protection, support,” from Proto-Germanic abstract noun *traustam (source also of Old Frisian trast, Dutch troost “comfort, consolation,” Old High German trost “trust, fidelity,” German Trost “comfort, co…See More

    • confidence: From mid-15c. as “reliance on one’s own powers, resources, or circumstances, self-assurance.” Meaning “certainty of a proposition or assertion, sureness with regard to a fact” is from 1550s.

    Deconflation into series allows us to see the insane precision ofthe huge vocabulary in the english language Decidability > Confidence(self) > Trust(other) > Belief(possibility) > Faith(religion-higher power, beyond ken)
