    Translation by Sarunas Navickis

    Kam bereikalingas butu melas? Vertimas:

    “As kuo puikiausiai suvokiu religija. Suprantu, kad Baznycia “uzgesino” stoicizma del vieninteles priezasties: Jis daro religija nereikalinga.

    As suprantu, kodel politine kaire “gesina” Teises Valdzia (Rule of Law) – nes tokiu atveju taptu nebereikalinga politika.

    As suprantu, kodel kaire – kartu su tikinciaisiais – stengsis “gesinti” argumentacija per liudijima (Testimonialism) – nes tai padarytu propaganda nebereikalinga.

    O be religijos, politikos ir propagandos – kam bebutu reikalingas melas?

    WEALTH CAUSES GENDERS TO SPECIALIZE NOT COMPROMISE

    —“Previous research suggested that sex differences in personality traits are larger in prosperous, healthy, and egalitarian cultures in which women have more opportunities equal with those of men. In this article, the authors report cross-cultural findings in which this unintuitive result was replicated across samples from 55 nations (N = 17,637). On responses to the Big Five Inventory, women reported higher levels of neuroticism, extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness than did men across most nations. These findings converge with previous studies in which different Big Five measures and more limited samples of nations were used. Overall, higher levels of human development–including long and healthy life, equal access to knowledge and education, and economic wealth–were the main nation-level predictors of larger sex differences in personality. Changes in men’s personality traits appeared to be the primary cause of sex difference variation across cultures. It is proposed that heightened levels of sexual dimorphism result from personality traits of men and women being less constrained and more able to naturally diverge in developed nations. In less fortunate social and economic conditions, innate personality differences between men and women may be attenuated.”—

    —“In the U.S. and most Western countries, the birth years most often used for GenJones are 1954-1965. Extensive research has shown dramatic differences between the collective personality traits of Boomers versus Jonesers.”—

    GENDER DIFFERENCES IN PERSONALITY

    —“Personality measures were obtained from a large US sample (N = 10,261) with the 16PF Questionnaire. Multigroup latent variable modeling was used to estimate sex differences on individual personality dimensions, which were then aggregated to yield a multivariate effect size (Mahalanobis D). We found a global effect size D = 2.71, corresponding to an overlap of only 10% between the male and female distributions. Even excluding the factor showing the largest univariate ES, the global effect size was D = 1.71 (24% overlap). These are extremely large differences by psychological standards.”—

    ENLIGHTENMENT NOW! – VOLTAIRE ON ABRAHAMISM

    – CHRISTIANITY

    “Our religion is assuredly the most ridiculous, the most absurd and the most bloody religion which has ever infected this world. Your Majesty will do the human race an eternal service by extirpating this infamous superstition, I do not say among the rabble, who are not worthy of being enlightened and who are apt for every yoke; I say among honest people, among men who think, among those who wish to think. … My one regret in dying is that I cannot aid you in this noble enterprise, the finest and most respectable which the human mind can point out.”

    (Letter to Frederick II of Prussia, 5 January 1767)

    – ISLAM

    “”But that a camel-merchant should stir up insurrection in his village; that in league with some miserable followers he persuades them that he talks with the angel Gabriel; that he boasts of having been carried to heaven, where he received in part this unintelligible book, each page of which makes common sense shudder; that, to pay homage to this book, he delivers his country to iron and flame; that he cuts the throats of fathers and kidnaps daughters; that he gives to the defeated the choice of his religion or death: this is assuredly nothing any man can excuse, at least if he was not born a Turk, or if superstition has not extinguished all natural light in him.”

    (Letter to Frederick II of Prussia, December 1740)

    – JUDAISM

    “In short, we find in them [the Jews] only an ignorant and barbarous people, who have long united the most sordid avarice with the most detestable superstition and the most invincible hatred for every people by whom they are tolerated and enriched.”

    (A Philosophical Dictionary)
