—“Are we talkin about run-of-the-mill Freemasonry or high-level secret handshake Freemasonry?”—Leif Erickson
What’s the difference besides the personalities of the people who go to them? Religiosity is driven not by intelligence per se, but by two factors: empath and neuroticism that influence how and what we learn. So think of societies and religions as serving the empathic personality across a spectrum of low to high neuroticism. Secret handshakes are higher trust providers at higher cost, and provide higher satisfaction because of more disciplined ritual to those with higher neuroticism. Organizations satisfy demand. Everyone wants everyone else to be satisfied on his or her terms. It’s not complicated.

Feb 5, 2020, 7:43 PM The fact that the monotheistic religions’ attacks on market religion and norms (paganism), and the monopoly pseudoscientific attacks on market philosophy and laws, use the same technique of attempting to reverse voluntary markets with involuntary monopoly authority using false promise of life after death or false promise of economic, status, and power rewards after revolution, is a trivial distinction that varies only a subtle alteration of the lie.

I prefer christians, especially devoted christians over all other people – and the evidentiary reality is christianity ‘works’ to produce better people than all other religions and better than every secular alternative. I just prefer to maintain the separation between law(Truth) and faith(Wisdom) and so theology must defend wisdom claims (the good) not truth claims (the true or false).
–“I thought doolittle was anti religion”– Nathan Danner —“I’m not sure his religious views. These two are bringing religion into propertarianism whether Kurt intended it to be there or not.”—Nate
I have a job and I do my job. My job is to protect my people from the left’s lies, and another dark age – and part of that job is to discover a way to restore a religion to ‘the religion of the state’. I know it is hard for the faithful to tolerate my work on religion. It’s certainly hard on me. And I request only that while I work on law others work on faith, and hopefully I will someday discover a means of uniting them.
