OUR ETHICS AREN’T CHRISTIAN THEY’RE EUROPEAN
Q: CURT: Are you suggesting European ethics alone didn’t require Abrahamic Christianity as necessary for said evolutionary success of the West as I’m a bit confused with your argument against Abrahamic based religion in its entirety if not willing to “throw the baby out with the bath water” as any dependent attached to its core principles maintains loyalty to what you desire to outlaw. Am I missing something?

Christianity, and especially “The Christian Destruction of the Ancient World”, created a dark age of ignorance for a thousand years we are still, a thousand years later, struggling to leave behind – and the lingering problems of the vulnerability to the marxist sequence – especially women remain- because marxism is just judaism and christianity brought to it’s economic rather than social conclusion.

There is nothing in christian morality what wasn’t in greek thought. Despite revisionist efforts, Christianity is a counter-revolution against greek reason, empiricism, law, and the greek invention of money, just as marxism is against the scientific and industrial revolutions.

The difference is that for european ‘respect merit and status’ one had to be at least middle if not upper class – by demonstrated loyalty in war, homestead, commerce, or politics – preferably all of the above.

So where only 10% of greeks and romans could develop status and politically participate, christianity made it possible for the slaves (‘slave morality’) peasants (‘serf morality’), women (“child morality”) to claim status and virtue by ‘doing no harm’ instead of ‘doing good’ for the polity.

That’s it. Christianity is a feminine religion of slaves, serfs, women, that allows a small inexpensive number of priests to regulate the moral behavior of the masses by provision of self image and status without having to demonstrate competency in military, economic, commercial, or political affairs. That’s it. That’s all there is to it.

The greek and roman world were ‘dumbed down’ from the rational and empirical to the emotional and imaginary so that women, slaves, and serfs could be managed by storytellers. Everything else is in greek and roman thought – even in germanic thought.

Because the foundation of the west that still is responsible for everything other than the dark ages is due to an accident of the necessity of forming entrepreneurial ventures onto the steppe by coalitions of warriors and the families that paid for their horse, bronze, and steel – creating what we call democracy but what is in fact contractualism: sovereignty.

The solution to modernity- because modernity means science, technology, and eduction – is to restore the greek religion of heroism, stoicism, the myths, the play, ancestors, nature, the nation, and it’s aristocracy and state.

A non-false religion of moral submission of self interest to the production of commons for the good of all: The Natural Law of Cooperation.

Which is the logical consequences of my (our) work.
