    —“Studying what a religion DOES to a people really matters….it is clear from the MOMENT that Constantine transitioned the Roman Empire from a loose paganism based around an imperial cult supported by a “market of local gods” that Rome was forever changed…i.e. a Classically Egyptian and Greek city that basically gave birth to astronomy (Ptolemies) like Alexandria went from being a center of learning (it had the world’s truly great library) to being a city that argued about asinine theological differences as a way to lie and deceive in the service of monopoly (Abrahamicists are monopolists; Indo-Aryan Europeans are for markets) rather than the market of ideas that is REALLY the truth.:—Nick Dahlheim

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7y2LRcf4kcYES THE MUSLIM EXPANSION WAS CATASTROPHIC FOR THE WORLD – JUST AS WAS THE JEWISH AND CHRISTIAN.

    The west in the ancient and modern world raised mankind out of superstition, ignorance, poverty and dysgenia. The muslim world put people into superstition, ignorance, poverty, decline, and disgenia. It’s not complicated.There was no golden age any more than napoleonic artwork.

    The islamic destruction of every great civilization of the ancient world and the descent into ignorance, poverty, and genetic dysgenia. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=c7y2LRcf4kc …

    The west fell by overexpansion into the middle east in a foolish attempt to maintain alexander’s empire. The result was inability to resist the germans given the migration due to the Celtic Holocaust. The spread of jews into the empire, and resulting Jewish revolutionary undermining, spread via women and slaves, later imposed by emperors in the east as a means of destroying the aristocracy and the empire, and the islamic prevention of the restoration of roman population and order after war, and plague. The muslims then conducted 1400 years of raids against europe – we invented castles to stop

    them. Everywhere the west touches people get wealthier (or die) Everywhere islam went people declined. If it wasn’t for the turks providing new genes arabian lands would be indifferent from africa.

    You don’t know your history.

    Religions spread because society HAS BROKEN DOWN or because conquerors want to BREAK THEM DOWN so that they can be controlled.

    I don’t make mistakes. It’s part of my charm. … Well, not that I have any charm – so, really, it’s because testimonialism puts extraordinary constraints on one’s ability to make excuses.

    PROPERTARIANISM AND STOICISM VS BUDDHISM?

    —“We ought to discuss Buddhism (I am a Buddhist) and Propertarianism (I’ve discussed various matters with Curt Doolittle) in the future.”— Andrew Taylor

    by The Propertarian Institute

    It’s not complicated. Buddhism evolved out of hinduism’s ‘spiritualism’ and because of that started out very similar to stoicism but with less empirical names of phenomenon, and was largely a way of developing mindfulness by way of REJECTING the world.

    Stoicism began as self authoring and was very close to the then-greco-roman empirical method. It’s purpose was to facilitate ACTION in the world, despite our emotions. Stoicism was incorporated into christianity when the stoic schools were forcibly closed by the christian hordes. Buddhism was adopted widely but evolved into a religion rather than a discipline.

    This has to do largely with the means of spreading stoicism (middle class schools) vs the means of spreading buddhism (common folk under direction of independent teachers, and eventually out of political utility as in japan. )

    Where buddhism is pacific and heroic, stoicism is martial and heroic. Otherwise they are similar.

    My suspicion is that stoicism would have turned into a religion like stoicism if it had not been suppressed by the jews, christians, and the byzantine (greek) re-conquest of rome.

    That jesus will forgive you is in practice true – for rather complex reasons, all of which are scientific if your concept of deities is that they consist of information distributed between minds. In this sense deities exist as numbers exist – and all of them exist. They have no control over nature but vast influence and control over the minds and actions of humans.

    —“How do we repair our religions? Curt Doolittle, what do you think”—Muhamed Dukmak

    (a) no more lies (b) make lies prosecutable in court so that the state can’t intervene, (c) prosecute liars for profit until there are no more lies. (d) let our religions adapt to the prohibition on lies, (e) try to organize new religions (which is likely to include restoration of our folk religions), (f) and let the natural self interest of all of us take its course.

    CAN WE ELIMINATE RELIGION? NOT REALLY, BUT THAT REQUIRES WE DEFINE RELIGION AS MARKET DEMANDS RATHER THAN THE CURRENT MEANS OF PRODUCTION.

    (repost)

    —“However unrealistic of a goal it might be, wouldn’t the ideal situation be a world without organised religion? Or is there some benefit to religion that I’m not seeing?”—Dann Hopkins

    Religion is just education. that’s all. Period. The ‘trick’ of both church and state is to claim church does no education, or that state education is sufficient.

    We need training in physical fitness, mindfulness, manners-ethics-morals-rituals (payments to the commons), the laws, the means of calculating that we think of as the 3R’s, the skills to run a household, and the skills for employment.

    It does not, as it once did, provide for physical fitness.

    It provides mindfulness in the personal, interpersonal, and public spheres of life.

    It provides the some of the manners, ethics, morals rituals that are the positive laws of the social order (not negative laws as is law proper).

    It provides a venue for public contract making (this is my child, this is my promise to the community, this is my mate, this is our property, this person has died and his or her property may be distributed).

    It is, to some degree, a computational necessity – meaning that it is very bad not to have that mindfulness.

    It provides child-level parables and myths which are no less a form of calculation about action in the world than are laws, logic, and mathematics.

    But there is no reason we cannot have lessons, parables and mythos and histories for each class of people at each stage of their lives, all of which contain the same messages.

    There is no reason the church rather than the school, post office, or library is not still the center of civic life, and that government is not relegated to the production and maintenance of material commons, just as we keep commerce out of religion.

    So I think I have most of this figured out – not that I am interested in the content in and of itself, but that I understand how to frame the problem, and restore the incentives, such that the second abrahamic dark age does not capture our people.

    WE ARE MORE LIKE THE CHINESE THAN THE SEMITES

    It is nearly impossible to talk to abrahamic monotheists what have not traveled the world and learned about other ‘religions’ because they lack the frame of reference to consider ‘religion’ as it is practiced.

    The more I undrestand about world religions the more obvious it is that shinto is best, hindu a bit less so, and abrahamism the worst. While buddhism has turned into a religion, and stoicism on the borderline, and chinese folk religion, Taoism, Buddhism, Confucianism.

    We practice our folk religion still in many ways. And like the chinese we have our germanic tales (hearth religion), our our many versions of our religion, philosophy, and our law.

    That these are and always have been, ‘cults of the classes’ should be rather obvious.

    The chinese are ostensibly buddhism but they are so as much as we are christian – not so much. China is confucian.

    We are the same as china, not the same as the jews and muslims.
