    No religion should require you believe a falsehood – only pay the cost of initiation and ongoing rituals in exchange for personal, interpersonal, social, political, and universal mindfulness.

    There is nothing false in the natural law of sovereignty reciprocity, truth, duty, charity, and markets in everything.

    There is nothing false in the elimination of hatred from the human heart, the extension of kinship love of family to the polity, personal acts of charity, and the exhaustion of forgiveness before abandonment or punishment.

    There is nothing false in ritual thanks to one another, to our ancestors, to those who made our existence possible, to the natural world, to the universe, and to the universe’s god – in whatever form that might be.

    There is nothing false in their parables, their myths, their histories other than their ignorance and vulnerability of time and place.

    There is nothing false in the ritual training of the body, intuition(soul), memory(knowledge), reason (calculation), ethics, morality, the law, and the skills with which to prosper.

    There is nothing false in that combination of of which will cause us, and any who likewise do the same, to transcend into the gods we have not yet made.

    That is not a sentimental argument. It is the optimum order for human beings. There is none better possible. It’s just science.

    (I know the religion thing is painful but I am very close to finished with it. Most people want a new religion. I want to restore the church and family as the central institution of our society, and eliminate the state-finance-consumption sector as a means of preying upon our people. To make that work requires another reformation. Not to the exclusion of the protestant one. But to restore a religion for OUR people. And it doesn’t mean I have to invent it. I just have to put the box around it to protect whatever is there. So i’m sorry if it’s offensive but it’s got to be done. Even atheists have a religion, they just can’t articulate it as one. And the one we have is dying along with the next generation.)

    JEFFERSON ON RELIGON

    —“The religious views of Thomas Jefferson diverged widely from the orthodox Christianity of his era. Throughout his life, Jefferson was intensely interested in theology, religious studies, and morality.

    Jefferson was most comfortable with Deism, rational religion, and Unitarianism. He was sympathetic to and in general agreement with the moral precepts of Christianity.[4] He considered the teachings of Jesus as having “the most sublime and benevolent code of morals which has ever been offered to man,”[5] yet he held that the pure teachings of Jesus appeared to have been appropriated by some of Jesus’ early followers, resulting in a Bible that contained both “diamonds” of wisdom and the “dung” of ancient political agendas.[6]

    Still, together with James Madison, Jefferson carried on a long and successful campaign against state financial support of churches in Virginia. Also, it is Jefferson who coined the phrase “wall of separation between church and state” in his 1802 letter to the Danbury Baptists of Connecticut. During his 1800 campaign for the presidency, Jefferson even had to contend with critics who argued that he was unfit to hold office because of their discomfort with his “unorthodox” religious beliefs.

    In a letter to John Adams dated August 22, 1813, Jefferson named Joseph Priestly (an English Unitarian who moved to America) and Conyers Middleton (an English Deist) as his religious inspirations.[9]

    Jefferson used certain passages of the New Testament to compose The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth (the “Jefferson Bible”), which excluded any miracles by Jesus and stressed his moral message.

    Though he often expressed his opposition to many practices of the clergy, and to many specific popular Christian doctrines of his day, Jefferson repeatedly expressed his admiration for Jesus as a moral teacher, and consistently referred to himself as a Christian (though following his own unique type of Christianity) throughout his life.

    Jefferson opposed Calvinism, Trinitarianism, and what he identified as Platonic elements in Christianity. In private letters Jefferson also described himself as subscribing to other certain philosophies, in addition to being a Christian. In these letters he described himself as also being an “Epicurean” (1819),[10] a “19th century materialist” (1820),[11] a “Unitarian by myself” (1825),[12] and “a sect by myself” (1819).[13]

    Upon the disestablishment of religion in Connecticut, he wrote to John Adams: “I join you, therefore, in sincere congratulations that this den of the priesthood is at length broken up, and that a Protestant Popedom is no longer to disgrace the American history and character.”—

    THOMAS JEFFERSON ON JESUS AS JUST A PHILOSOPHER

    —-“The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth, commonly referred to as the Jefferson Bible, refers to one of two religious works constructed by Thomas Jefferson. The first, The Philosophy of Jesus of Nazareth, was completed in 1804, but no copies exist today.[1] The second, The Life and Morals of Jesus of Nazareth, was completed in 1820 by cutting and pasting with a razor and glue numerous sections from the New Testament as extractions of the doctrine of Jesus. Jefferson’s condensed composition is especially notable for its exclusion of all miracles by Jesus and most mentions of the supernatural, including sections of the four gospels that contain the Resurrection and most other miracles, and passages that portray Jesus as divine.”—

    by Robin Helweg-Larsen

    About 177 AD the Greek philosopher Celsus, in his book ‘The True Word’, expressed what appears to have been the consensus Jewish opinion about Jesus, that his father was a Roman soldier called Pantera. ‘Pantera’ 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 “Yeshu ben Pantera”.

    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 – romantic historians have hypothesized this to be Jesus’ father, especially as ‘Abdes’ (‘servant of God’) 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 Emperor’s name to his own. Tiberius ruled from 14 AD to 37 AD. Pantera’s 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 Jesus’ 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 Jesus’ father. The only thing we know for certain is that Mary’s husband Joseph wasn’t 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.

    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.

    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″–
