    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.

  • THE STRATEGIES OF THE MONOTHEISTIC RELIGIONS by Aaron Kahland Taking the big thr

    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?

    —“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… )

    THE MATTER OF ROME

    —“According to the medieval poet Jean Bodel, the Matter of Rome was the literary cycle made up of Greek and Roman mythology, together with episodes from the history of classical antiquity, focusing on military heroes like Alexander the Great and Julius Caesar. Bodel divided all the literary cycles he knew best into the Matter of Britain, the Matter of France and the Matter of Rome. The Matter of Rome also included what is referred to as the Matter of Troy, consisting of romances and other texts based on the Trojan War and its after-effects, including the adventures of Aeneas.”—

  • 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.

  • New Religion

    Leaving behind abrahamic deception requires replacing it with anything other than oath, ritual, feast, and festival. None of which require any falsehoods, and all of which are easily produced. TED, Football Games, and Concerts are just Church. Why do you think stadium rock relied upon anthems? Why is TED popular with the left (Scientific Miracles). Why are team sports so popular with the working and underclasses (pack experience and the hunt). Why are concert experiences so popular with the middle and working classes (they’re spiritual). All that is necessary to produce the effect we get from religion is proximity, shared experience, oath, and some corresponding physical repetition. Why is Government so attractive a sports team, and democracy so attractive a savior, and economics so attractive a heaven? There is no reason why the experience must be conflated with law, pseudohistory, or the supernatural. THAT’S THE EVIDENCE. We know why religions work. I can disassemble any of them into component parts (although hinduism is still confusing to me). The fact that so many substitutes for religion exist, but none have been canonized is merely a failure to do what the nazis, fascists, and communists did: create a secular religion. I mean, too bad the nazi thing went sideways because the aesthetics were genius. Soviet aesthetics were genius as well. Rock aesthetics were genius. The problem is that markets are the optimum, and homogeneity is the optimum, and everyone just got only one part right or the other. Doesn’t mean it can’t be done right. No one is going to revert to abrahamic primitivism except those who are already primitive. And those who are primitive by that choice and their deferral of agency are self selecting themselves into the RULED and out of those who RULE.
