I’m not anti christian in the pure sense. I distinguish between the teachings of Jesus, the cult of Saul of tarsus, the bible, christian theology, catholic dogma, and the institutions of the churches. And the entire european corpus of myth, literature, philosophy, history, law, science, and mathematics that is otherwise vastly superior. The only thing that helped Europe was the teaching of Jesus that gave those of low status and women a political voice – a house of government – in the church. The rest: “Paulianity”, “Theology”, and “Churchianity” and “Dogma” are downright evil. My bible consists of the Jeffersonian Bible, the Epic Cycle of Greece and Rome, the Works of the Stoics and Epicureans, The Works of Aristotle, and the works of the Physical, Natural and Evolutionary Laws. But I acknowledge that the simplest of those messages, is that of Jesus, and that is enough for common folk. For those of us who have grater ability and agency, we require the works of those who demonstrated agency – not submission. When Rome brought law, administration, roads, and commerce into the primitive peoples of the middle east, they felt they were being left behind by a new radical way of life, new knowledge, new technology that they could not compete with it or in it. While they endured tolerating the abuses of middle eastern people upon one another – eve their own – they at least understood how to survive under those conditions. But when faced with the ancient world’s equivalent of the european age of sail, the primitive people of the middle east, like all those aware of being left behind, turned to innovation by Luddism – regression. Doubling down on a backward past. No there is nothing good in christianity that was not in roman culture before, other than that the new religion provided an organized underclass opposition in supernatural, theocratic political form to the empirical state, to undermine the state, undermining loyalty to roman civilization, and undermine the roman project, which was dependent upon the roman way of ‘baiting’ of people to evolve from slaves, to freemen, to citizens, to sovereigns – climbing the ladder of agency and status. Had Christians simply integrated Jesus into the state religion as the romans suggested it wouldn’t have been a problem. The underclasses could have had a path to self respect and civic virtue. But no. They used christianity to undermine. They had to destroy that civilization and stop people from climbing the ladder of agency that was the strategy of european domestication of man, and instead, drag people back to the bottom with superstition and ignorance and false promise. The purpose of christianity in the ancient world, like marxism-postmodernism-feminism in the modern, is to resist the continuous domestication and evolution of man from superstitious ignorant beast, into heroic agency. It is to deny physical, natural, and evolutionary laws, woven by the hand of god into the fabric of the universe for all to see – and that any man who states otherwise has been not a prophet but a deceiver and a fraud.

Controversial Opinion: Romans (Europeans) Were Gods
Controversial Opinion: Romans (Europeans) Were Gods The roman emperors were promoted as gods since gods were all group’s (peoples) proxies for the group, and devotion to the gods was a devotion to the anthropomorphization of the people: it was the expression of loyalty. The roman demand was for loyalty to the empire, and the roman way of life, that so man wished to join – just as people wish to join the european way of life yet again today. But at some point lesser peoples want the benefits of roman-european way of life without the demand for loyalty in exchange. This is for very simple reasons: they and their traditional methods are unable to compete for income, sexual, social, and political status – so they refuse loyalty and undermine that civilization despite wanting its benefits. Truth is – comparatively? The Romans were gods.

You Double Down? You Fail.
Y’all can hate me for the truth. But the truth is how we solve the problem. We need more services in addition to religion. Beaus only fe feminine biased personality can tolerate the high cost of denial of reality in exchange for the frictionless extroverted experience of religion. I SOLVE THE PROBLEM YOU DOUBLE DOWN ON AND FAIL. (and y’all hate me for it) Truth is the most powerful weapon. It’s just an expensive one.
