Well my view is that we create our gods by thinking of them, talking to them, and acting because of them; and that any other beings in this universe, if so needing gods, do so too, for the same reason they persist among humans: defensive mindfulness. So as far as I know our gods human or alien are a product of minds, which are a product of the universe, as are we, and as are numbers, and as such gods exist as numbers exist, and the universe itself serves as the only creator there is – a purely accidental one. The universe makes gods through us. not the other way ’round.

Why It’s Hard to Argue with Protestantism
—“A while back I did a bit of research to verify if Buddhism actually increased compassion of its followers. I looked for rates of philanthropy and charity works. The only religious community which was over represented in terms of good works were the Protestants (they account for about 68% of philanthropic work globally while representing about 27% of the religious communities – that’s a god to be thankful for…. Buddhists by the way was less 2% in good works – about half of it’s representative population).”— Bill Joslin Buddhism is ‘selfish’, and protestantism demands good works. Hence my concern that we preserve good works, but add mindfulness by other means.

You know, the fact that the modern church (a) tolerated pedophiles and worse, (b) refused to rectify(sic) the situation, (c) has not reformed to allow married priests, and (d) has now directly turned against european civilization – doubling down on supernaturalism and (e) selected an anti-european pope, means it is time to end that church and bring about another. Why is it that we persist this middle eastern savagery rather than transcend the abrahamic dark ages, and emerge a people of natural law, nature, and the transcendence of man?

SHARED ON TWITTER BY: @mtukatana
(Worth repeating)
—“What is your endgame?”—A Christian Believer
I understand that believers are non rational, and un-persuadable, and over invested in a network of falsehoods, and so believers will not change except to follow an even larger and safer herd.
So my objective is to use arguments to search for people in the herd who know that the mythos is false, but want a new herd to join. So I state my arguments and avoid engaging in abrahamic sophisms, …
… and then insult those who make them, to deprive them of their attempt to gain confidence and signals from their denials.
My endgame is the completion of the transformation of germanicized christianity to natural law and reciprocity, completely laundered of sophism(Abrahamism), superstition, mysticism, magic, falsehoods, and lies.
Truth is enough.

The Weak Use Tools of The Weak
THE WEAK USE TOOLS OF THE WEAK The problem with mythology, conflation and fictionalism is that like numerology astrology and scriptural interpretation, you can find any meaning you look for. Just as any opponent can do the same. As such it is just the wittiest liar that wins the tactical argument and the most utilitarian lies that win the war of political control. The only way for the good to win is the truth, and to abandon all convenient sophisms and to prosecute as liars all who do otherwise. Weak and false is weak and false no matter how useful weakness and falsehood are. THE WEAK USE TOOLS OF THE WEAK THE STRONG USE TRUTH , VIOLENCE, AND RULE
