The Strategies of The Monotheistic Religions
by Aaron Kahland Taking the big three monotheistic religions, the peculiarities of them might be, in part, explained, by historical circumstances. Judaism – is non-universalist and supremacist. This fits the nationalist / separatist Jewish desire to re-establish a Jewish Kingdom / liberate Jews from foreign domination. Its supremacism was an effective tool to delegitimize occupation. Christianity – is universalist and non-supremacist. This fits the Roman/Byzantine need for unity amongst disparate peoples to consolidate / protect the empire from external threats. Its universalism was an effective means to pacify barbarian invaders. Islam – is both universalist and supremacist. This reflects the Arab desire for internal unity needed for expansion / conquest or empire building. Its supremacism was effectively used to encourage expansion. The religions reflect political necessity. —CURT— Yes but why do we need those methods of organizing any longer … why don’t we need rule of law/natural law, monarchy/market govt, and a new church as political necessity?May 09, 2018 11:12am -
Islam’s Invention
by Aaron Kahland Islam can really be re-labelled the ‘Umayyad Invention’ It was the Umayyad’s (from Mecca) that took the pre-Islamic beliefs of the Arabs (likely influenced by a Jewish sect) and forged it into a political religion to solidify their Caliphate’s legitimacy after an early Arab civil war which they won. No-where in the Koran, for example, is ‘Mecca’ mentioned – but what a wonderful coincidence that the Ummayad capital just happens to be the ‘birthplace of Mohammed’ – according to the Ummayads.

Truth Is the Most Intolerant Religion of All
—“When it comes to theological contests, usually the most intolerant wins – it is not a contest of ideas or even numbers.”—Aaron Kahland The Law: Transcendence by Sovereignty, Truth, Reciprocity, Markets in Everything. (“The OODA Loop Civilization”) Truth is the most intolerant cult of all. 😉

The religions reflect political necessity.

“God is dead. We killed him. Now, let’s drink his blood and take responsibility
—“God is dead. We killed him. Now, let’s drink his blood and take responsibility for our emotional, mental and social health without the use of lies.”—Bill Joslin
There is that whole responsibility thing again… damn. 😉
( Bill usually provides the gentle version, and Eli the extreme version. But Bill? …Whoa. I don’t even go there… )

Sorry Abrahamists. Face Reality – Never Again.
We complete the scientific method and the european, greco, roman, germanic program, and in doing so write it into law and end your fraud in supernatural, pseudo-rational (counter-enligthenment), and pseudoscientific (contemporary) eras. Never again. LOOK: Operational grammar, semantics, and testability (calculation and falsificationism) -vs- fictionalist grammar and semantics and untestability (sophism and justificationism). It’s not an OPINION. It’s just a FACT. Sorry. It’s the difference between numerology, astrology, semitic mysticism, monopoly, and semitic law, vs mathematics, science, historical mythology, competing disciplines, and tort (natural) law. I mean, it’s not an opinion any more than that there is a substantial difference between arithmetic and geometry or measurement vs analogy. I mean, I know this is hard for mortal minds to grasp, but it sure as hell shouldn’t be. Abrahamic religion is the language of lying. Egyptian and Hindu religions are merely mythologies (wisdom literatures) not laws. Buddhism was originally a very poorly stated means of self discipline producing what we call mindfulness (self control). Confucianism is much closer to reason within the limits of chinese language, concepts, grammar and technology. But the abrahamic religions claim to be both a monopoly, and true, and singular. And they are presented and argued using conflationar grammar and semantics, justificationism, and sophism we call ‘Pilpul’ (the verbal equivalent of numerology). There is nothing good in abrahamic religions that cannot be stated without lying. There is everything bad in those religions because they evolved to teach us to lie, are taught by lying, and defended by lies and sophisms, and produced externalities the horrors of which are the darkest mark in human history. The abrahamic innovation reversing greek reason resulted in Judaism under which the most educated people in europe accomplishing absolutely nothing except conspiring with the state against the people then being cyclically exterminated for it. Christianity accomplished nothing other than destroying germanic culture, eliminating the ability of europeans to defend themselves until the VIking restoration, privatizing literacy as a means of control and submission, turning 50% of european capital dead and for no other purpose than rents, and creating the largest and most corrupt and parasitic bureaucracy in human history. Islam accomplished nothing except the consumption and extermination of all the great civilizations of the ancient world, and reducing all peoples under its influence to dysgenic, ignorant, superstitious, aggressive emoters, and leaving 3/4 of a billion people dead in their wake. The abrahamic dark age was the darkest event in human history, and while the great plagues were devastating, it is patently obvious that abrahamic pilpul and its fictionalism was worse than anything other than malaria. No no. Your lies are done. NEVER AGAIN.
