(FB 1544804133 Timestamp) by Robin Helweg-Larsen About 177 AD the Greek philosopher Celsus, in his book âThe True Wordâ, expressed what appears to have been the consensus Jewish opinion about Jesus, that his father was a Roman soldier called Pantera. âPanteraâ means Panther and was a fairly common name among Roman soldiers. The rumor is repeated in the Talmud and in medieval Jewish writings where Jesus is referred to as âYeshu ben Panteraâ. In 1859 a gravestone surfaced in Germany for a Roman soldier called Tiberius Iulius Abdes Pantera, whose unit Cohors I Sagittariorum had served in Judea before Germany â romantic historians have hypothesized this to be Jesusâ father, especially as âAbdesâ (âservant of Godâ) suggests a Jewish background. Tib(erius) Iul(ius) Abdes Pantera Sidonia ann(orum) LXII stipen(diorum) XXXX miles exs(ignifer?) coh(orte) I sagittariorum h(ic) s(itus) e(st) Tiberius Iulius Abdes Pantera from Sidon, aged 62 years served 40 years, former standard bearer (?) of the First Cohort of Archers lies here The gravestone is now in the Römerhalle museum in Bad Kreuznach, Germany. It appears this First Cohort of Archers moved from Palestine to Dalmatia in 6 AD, and to the Rhine in 9 AD. Pantera came from Sidon, on the coast of Phoenicia just west of Galilee, presumably enlisted locally. He served in the army for 40 years until some time in the reign of Tiberius. On discharge he would have been granted citizenship by the Emperor (and been granted freedom if he had formerly been a slave), and added the Emperorâs name to his own. Tiberius ruled from 14 AD to 37 AD. Panteraâs 40 years of service would therefore have started between 27 BC and 4 BC. As Pantera would probably have been about 18 when he enlisted, it means he was likely born between 45 BC and 22 BC. He could have been as old as 38 or as young as 15 at the time of Jesusâ conception in the summer of 7 BC. In 6 AD when Jesus was 12, Judas of Galilee led a popular uprising that captured Sepphoris, the capital of Galilee. The uprising was crushed by the Romans some four miles north of Nazareth. It is possible (and appealing to lovers of historical irony) that Pantera and Joseph fought on opposite sides. As Joseph is never heard of again he may well have been killed in the battle, or have been among the 2,000 Jewish rebels crucified afterwards. So Tiberius Iulius Abdes Pantera is indeed a possibility as Jesusâ father. The only thing we know for certain is that Maryâs husband Joseph wasnât the father, and that Mary was already pregnant when they married. It could have been rape, or Mary may have been a wild young teen who fell for a handsome man in a uniform, even if he was part of an occupying army. It happens.

(FB 1544803329 Timestamp) THE NATURAL LAW FUNCTION OF RELIGION —“…error…”— I don’t make errors. It’s my job. I run tests. I try to remove all falsehood from all statements. To leave only the truth standing. Because that other than sovereignty, it is western man’s uniqueness: Truth Regardless of the Impact to the self-image(personal), status(social), competence(economic), and dominance(political) hierarchy. Now, back to your criticism. —“Religion is nothing but education.”–CD There is nothing [in your comment] that you have stated that counters this proposition. Religion is education. It provides (educates with) narratives of intergenerational transference of mindfulness, codes of conduct(ethics and morals), signaling(social order ), tradition (strategy), and law (property rights and obligations). Some religions do this by the abrahamic method of deceit, some do it by the buddhist method, some by the hindu method(s), and some by the ancestor-worship methods. Some by simple folk rituals. Some emphasize a way of life (hinduism), some emphasize a way of thought (buddhism and stoicism), and some a ritual (shintoism), and some a cognitive fantasy (abrahamism). —“…curt…”— Psychologism is always and everywhere false. So the straw man is pointless. I am advocating for stoicism (mindfulness by self authoring), ancestor worship (thanks – we have ancestors worthy of it), and nature ‘worship'(celebration), with the ambition of transcendence of man into the gods we have designed (omnipotent, omniscient, omnirational). Not as individuals but as a collective. This provides the spectrum of personal, interpersonal, social, political, and group strategies that all of us appear to need. There is nothing in that list that is not both scientifically achievable, fulfilling of behavioral demand, and free of deceits and frauds. We know so because all of these have and do exist. So if you are invested in a lie – the answer is why? Are you human and capable of choice between truth and lie, or are you still animal and incapable of choice between truth and lie? Religion is simply education. Education in the personal, interpersonal, social, political, and strategic by ritual(repetition) practice – like every OTHER thing we learn through repetition. Like how to move our bodies, how to speak, how to socialize, how to read, do math, operate a machine, or compose works of innovative thought. I am not anti-religion. Just anti-lies. My religion is Transcendence of man into gods, by the use of Sovereignty, Truth, Duty, Charity, the Natural Law of Reciprocity and the Jury, Markets in everything, producing the most rapid calculation of, and achievement of godhood that is possible for man to perform. This religion requires training in mindfulness in the personal, interpersonal, social, political, international realms. In the physical (fitness), mental (mindfulness), social (manners, ethics, morals), calculative (3R’s), economic (job skills), political (laws), strategic (strategy). And under my method we return dominance of daily life from the State to the Church, ending the academy, and ending the Cathedral Complex. Creating a single ‘intolerante’ religion (education system). And with it, ending Abrahamism in jewish, christian, and muslim form, as well as Marxist, Postmodern, Feminist form. And with that, end this scam we call democracy which is an excuse to intermediate us from the courts as the means of resolving conflicts both private and common. And restoring rule of law, including houses for the classes to negotiate, and monarchy as judge of last resort, and a universal militia to guarantee all of the above. Period. There are a few arguments you might raise against me, but you are not able. your life consists of malinvestment in lies that produce ignorance, poverty, and dark ages, and have cost a billion lives. There is no better service we can do the world than eliminate abrahamism, for aside from the great plagues there is nothing more horrible in the experience of man. Curt Doolittle

(FB 1544760164 Timestamp) THE INCLUSION OF ARYANISM (RELIGIOSITY OF WAR) INTO CHRISTIANITY
—“However, such reluctance among Christians may be somewhat ironic, since, were it not for its Germanization, Christianity might never have spread throughout Northern and Central Europe. One of the most obvious examples of the Christian accommodation of Germanic religiocultural attitudes may be found in the medieval Church’s attitude toward warfare. In a study of this subject, J. M. Wallace-Hadrill has noted: Germanic pagan peoples had a clear sense that war was a religious undertaking, in which the gods were interested. At once one thinks of Woden as a God peculiarly, though not exclusively, connected with warfare Pagan and pagan-transitional warfare, then, had its religious facet. Not surprisingly, Christian missionaries found this ineradicable, though not unadaptable to their own purposes. Christian vernacular makes considerable use of the terms of pagan warfare…. Why, then, did the men who converted the Anglo-Saxons differ so sharply [in their apparent indifference toward the warrior code] from Wulfila? The Anglo-Saxons were not less bellicose than the Goths. The answer may lie in the prudent spirit of accommodation shown by Gregory the Great. More than that, the pope was an ardent supporter of warfare to spread Christianity and convert the heathen, and this last is, I think, the more important consideration. So far from rejecting the Germanic war-ethos the pope means to harness it to his own ends, and the evidence is that he succeeded. The barbarians may fight to their heart’s content in causes blessed by the Church, and this is made clear not only in the matter of vocabulary. It is the position of the Church rather than of the Germans that had undergone modification. As Erdmann showed, the Church subsumed and did not reject the warlike moral qualities of its converts. Who shall say that St. Michael of later days was not Woden under fresh colors?71 The apotheosis of the Christian assimilation of the Germanic warrior code may be found in St. Bernard of Clairvaux’s “recruitment tract” for the military order of the Knights Templars, De laude novae militiae, in which the killing of non-Christians in battle is justified, if not encouraged.72″– -
