MONOTHEISTIC DIFFERENCES IN DEMAND FOR THRUTH
We are taught to tell the truth no matter the consequences. Judaism teaches that deceit is acceptable with non-jews. Islam teaches to lie whenever advantagous.

RELIGION VS CULT
—“What is the difference between a cult & religion in practice?”—Zach Edward
First, religions and cults consist of a mythos and costly rituals that require demonstration of advocacy (not necessarily belief) in one or more falsehoods as a substitute for reason and a signal of contribution to the group’s informational and as a consequence, behavioral commons.
It’s that a religion is adopted at scale and has political influence, and a cult has a smaller scale and does not have political influence.
And because a cult differs from the mainstream, and requires higher costs of adherence, members of a cult are generally more devoted than those of a religion or major religion.
– Major Religion (influential in a civilization – many governments)
– Religion (Influential in a polity – government)
– Cult (not influential in a polity or government)

Acting makes you insane just as religion makes you insane. It’s become a cult.

ARETÃ: ARYAN ETHICS: “THAT MAN MAY SURPASS HIMSELF”
by Daniel Gurpide
(wonderful. gave me chills)
The tragic urge to self-overcoming (transcendence) may be identified as the only way man and his presence in the world may be ennobled, and this was the primary element of traditional Aryan ethics. It is what the ancient Greeks called areté, the quest for excellence: the act of living up to oneâs full potential.
For Aristotle, the doctrine of areté included the following virtues: andreia (courage), dikaiosyne (justice), and sophrosyne (self-restraint). In Greek mythology, Sophrosyne was a Greek goddess. She was the spirit of moderation, self-control, temperance, restraint, and discretion. She was considered to be one of the good spirits that escaped from Pandoraâs box and fled to Olympus after Pandora opened the lid. The complex meaning of sophrosyne, so important to the ancients, is very difficult to convey in English. It is perhaps best expressed by the two most famous sayings of the Oracle of Delphi: ânothing in excessâ and âknow thyself.â
Since Propertarianism recovers and transfigures the founding myths of Indo-European culture, when it comes to specifying its particular tenets such features as the following might be listed: an eminently aristocratic conception of the human individual; the importance of honour (âshameâ rather than âsinâ); a heroic attitude towards lifeâs challenges; the exaltation and sacralisation of the world, beauty, the body, strength, and health; the rejection of any âworlds beyondâ; and the inseparability of morality and aesthetics.
The highest value for an Aryan ethics undoubtedly lies not in a form of âjusticeâ whose purpose is essentially interpreted as flattening the social order in the name of equality, but in all that may allow man to surpass himself. Since to consider the implications of lifeâs basic framework as unjust would be palpably absurd, such classic antitheses as noble vs. base, courageous vs. cowardly, honourable vs. dishonourable, beautiful vs. deformed, sick vs. healthy come to replace the antitheses operative in a morality based on the concept of sin: good vs. evil, humble vs. vainglorious, submissive vs. proud, weak vs. arrogant, modest vs. boastful.
