    The empires require a pacifist religion to create a subservient and obedient and humble population by the cheapest means possible: false promise.

    Hence imperial gods.

    THE SECULARIZATION DEBATE

    Read this:

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Secularization

    And This

    Philip S. Gorski (2000) “Historicizing the Secularization Debate: Church, State, and Society in Late Medieval and Early Modern Europe, ca. 1300 to 1700” American Sociological Review (65:1) Special Issue: “Looking Forward, Looking Back: Continuity and Change at the Turn of the Millenium” pp. 138-167 http://www.jstor.org/stable/2657295

    The Disciplinary Revolution

    In his 2003 book, The Disciplinary Revolution: Calvinism and the Rise of the State in Early Modern Europe,[5] Gorski offers a new explanation for the rise of a strong, centralized nation-state in certain areas of Europe in early Modernity, when other areas were not as successful.[citation needed] Gorski rejects[citation needed] two of the dominant explanations, which are the bellicist explanation, which sees military growth as key to the emergence of strong states, and the neo-Marxist explanation, which sees economic factors as key to the explanation. Instead, Gorski points to the strong influence of religion in the formation of strong states. Specifically, Gorski sees Calvinism as crucial to the emergence of the Netherlands and Prussia as strong, centralized states, because of its emphasis on discipline and public order. The effects of Calvinism could be seen in crime rates, in education, in military effectiveness, in financial responsibility, and many other parts of Dutch and Prussian social life, all of which increased their ability to form bureaucratic states.[citation needed] Where in the Netherlands the effect of Calvinism was from the ground upwards, as most of its population was indeed Calvinist, in Prussia—where most of the population was Lutheran and only the royal house was Calvinist—the effect was from the rulers downwards (to some extent through the Pietist Lutheran movement, which was influenced by Calvinism).[citation needed]

    RELIGION AND THE SECTS

    Religion combines wisdom literature, rituals, and social assembly to create personal, interpersonal, social, and political mindfulness with of a system of intuitive, coherent measurement, that relieves the pre-consious brain of stress about status, conflict, and uncertainty. We gain the elation of the primitive animal running with, hunting, feasting, resting, and safety within the pack (herd). Narratives (stories) using archetypes (expressions of instincts) are the most imprecise but universal and easily understood system of measurement.

    Christianity works. Religion works. Institutions, traditions, laws, and norms work. For the same reason: error elimination on one hand, and norm creation on the other, together which reduce cognitive load, which reduce stress, which maintains self image, which maintains status in interacting with others.

    Of the christian sects it appears that we find the best of something in each group. In evangelical protestantism we find the closest to Jesus’ teachings. In orthodoxy we find the preservation of tradition, and nationalism. In Catholicism we find an attempt at an intellectual and philosophical expansion of the underlying theology. In secular christianity we find the completion of the christian evolution into the via negativa natural law AND via positiva christian love.

    I can quite easily explain what we find as failing in each of those traditions – most of which result in (a) universalism (b) failure to accommodate the fundamental, ritualistic-traditional, phiosophical-moral, and scientific spectrum – and worse, a failure to integrate and retain our martial gods and their teachings – that saved us in the real world when christianity failed.

    I admit when I’m wrong all the time. I make many mistakes (irrelevant) but I err (relevant) very infrequently. Not because I am special but because the P-method makes it very, very, difficult to err.

  • WHY DO YOU NEED IT? What makes you think your theology, philosophy, or ideology

    WHY DO YOU NEED IT?

    What makes you think your theology, philosophy, or ideology is any different than putting cheese in a maze to bait a rat to work his way through it? It’s not.

    Why do we need these things? Because otherwise, in a division of labor larger than the tribe, the universe is un navigable, because it’s incalculable by the human brain.

    Why do we need units of measure, money, counting and accounting – and now banking and economics?

    Because otherwise the world we live in is not only incalculable but its impossible to sense and perceive.

    There are only three sets of laws: Physical, Natural, and Evolutionary.

    There is only one goal: Transcendence.

    There is only one purpose: Persistence (reproduction).

    There is only one choice: What you do with the time you were born with.

    To do so we need physical fitness, mindfulness, training(norms), knowledge (education), and skills (in production).

    To obtain them we need each other in a vast division of perception, cognition, knowledge and labor.

    And there is no better combination than sport (fitness), stoicism (mindfulness(negativa)), epicureanism (choice(positiva)), natural law (training), the sciences (education), and a craft (skills), and a family, friends, allies, market, polity, and nation to do it with.

    Because you have no choice until you have agency.

    And what you’ve just read is the recipe for agency.

    After that its just choice.

    Mithra was the origin of the political utility of monopoly. Zoroastrian the religion of that successful monopoly.

    Sol Invictus was a rotation like Odin->Tyr replacement, to compete with Mithra.

    Jesus was a ‘capture’ of john the baptist (jesus’ competitor for prophet), Mithra, Pagan Sun Gods, and from hindu: “Christ”=”Krishna”, from Egyptian: Osiris, the king as son-of-god, mediator with god, trinity, isis=holy spirit, cross, baptism, eucharist, and mythology, and the was bible an attempt to replace the Epic Cycle esp. aristocratic Achilles with his mirror image.

    –“Zoroaster’s religious innovation was the cosmic struggle between Ahura Mazda, a supreme wise and benevolent deity, and Angra Mainyu, Ahura’s evil opponent. Here on earth, humans can support this struggle by taking sides. Living a virtuous life supports Ahura Mazda and contributes to the triumph of good over evil. Zoroaster encouraged his followers to worship Ahura Mazda, the Wise Lord, claiming that the old Persian deities were unworthy of worship and should be considered spirits of destruction.”–

    Jesus wasn’t complicated. He had a single very useful idea of how to resist the predation of the jews on their own, and the threat of their cultural erasure by the great empires, and the need for a means of integrating with or competing with those empires that conveyed mindfulness to the weak and ignorant.

    And it worked. Just like Marxism > Neomarxism > Postmodernism > Feminism > and it’s origins: HBD-Denialism and the natural eugenics of the great civilizations.
