    –“I’ve been writing and thinking for Christianity for a handful of years. They are literally hung up in kindergarten and can’t graduate is the best analogy”—Ross Garrett

    (this is the most common analogy I hear from everyone, even those Christians that have moved on to ‘adult’ Christianity.)

  • ODIN

    ODIN …. Mimir’s Head (Wisdom) …. …. poetry, wisdom, knowledge, AND …. Huginn and Muninn: Crows (Magic, Ears) …. …. the runic alphabet, healing, sorcery, AND …. Spear (Power) …. …. victory, war, battle, frenzy, gallows, death, AND …. Horse and Cart ???

  • What Use Remains for Lying?

    I understand religion just fine. I understand that the church shut down Stoicism for one simple reason: it makes religion unnecessary. I understand why the left is shutting down Rule of Law: it makes politics unnecessary. I understand why the left – and the faithful – will try to shut down Testimonialism: because it makes propaganda unnecessary. And without religion, politics, and propaganda what use remains for lying? (from elsewhere)

  • Why?

    They were taught undermining and vindictiveness with Abrahamic Religion 2.0: pseudoscience, sophism, deceit, and denial justifying the oppression myth instead of the Darwinian reality of our differences and Power, Pareto, and Nash distributions necessary for survival.

  • The Three Systems of Lying

    —“All three: Religion (institutional), Politics (state), and Propaganda (cultural) create incentives for monopolies (3 kinds). Incentives for monopoly provide catalysts for maladaptive incentives to flood the informational and physical commons, which over time degrade all markets.”–@Nationalist7346
