    GODS? GUILTY AS CHARGED

    (edited for clarity)

    In the matter of gods we have only the testimony of men, and the means, motive, and opportunity to lie in their testimony. Given means motive and opportunity to lie, and no evidence of all that they speak the truth, then all gods are merely fictional characters. Those characters serve as anthropomorphic analogies. Those analogies serve as to provide decidability when we have no other means of deciding.

    It is not that gods – like all units of measurement – are not useful. They are. Particularly for the intergenerational transfer of such units of measurement.

    But there is no difference between Gandalf and Jehova and Allah other than that we make no false testimony to the existence of Gandalf, and we give false testimony to the existence of Jehova and Allah. We must give false testimony because we cannot give testimony of any other kind. It is not possible. None of us have observed the existence of any god that cannot be explained by more simple means.

    We can however, give thanks to our ancestors. That is because we have ancestors worthy of our thanks. The reason for the fabrication of Jehova and Allah is that the people who invented those fictional characters had no ancestors worthy of their thanks.

    Means, Motive, and Opportunity.

    Guilty as Charged.

  • Religion and Education Are the Same Thing.

    Let me help you. Religion and education are the same thing. I know. You wouldn’t think so. But that’s because you’re confusing cooperative technology (self and others) vs productive technology (things). Separation of church and state is logically impossible. It’s simply begging for a conflict of laws.

    You know, by and large, christianity is not incompatible with natural law. The whole damned narrative is. But otherwise, the basic principle of direct demonstrated charity, exhaustion of opportunity for forgiveness, and reciprocity is fine. That said …. there is nothing in that list that wasn’t in our slavic, nordic, germanic, italic civilization before christianity. Ya see?

    BTW: where are our sacred groves of oak trees, our festivals of the seasons. And our worship of our ancestors?

    Well. They’re right were we left them.
