(little old lady humor)
Me: (tauting) “Mom. Why are women so susceptible to magical beliefs?”
Her: “So we can believe there is hope for men.”
Me: (rolling laughter) “It’s so that they have hope for their children and continue to care for them.”
Her: “Well, that works for men too…”
Me: “I saw that coming”
Her: “uh huh….”

SHANNONG CONSTANTINE IN HER USUAL BRILLIANCE
—“Christians want to be woo’ed…the congregation is referred to as female for a good reason. If you don’t woo them by speaking to them in the grammars they are accustomed to–supernaturalism, childlike storytelling (parables), and the language of blind faith–they get put off, and like uppity women, they will walk away in a huff. The problem is, they aren’t some great prize to be won, they’re like all other Western females, hopelessly misguided, morally compromised ding bats with delusions of grandeur.”—Shannon Constantine

Domestication of primitive demi-human animals. If we hadn’t been so christian and charitable we’d have let McAuthur domesticate you too. Unfortunately we are always too kind. Greek, Roman, British and American. We are too optimistic about the animals. They need domestication.

THE CONSTITUTION OF RELIGION (tying it all together)(blow your mind) (core) [R]eligion provides us with personal, social, and political rituals to train us to into mindfulness(tolerance), forgiveness, and cooperation at increasing scales. It serves as the institutionalization of harmony so that We Can Tolerate Anonymity, Lack of Reinforcement, Expansion of Hierarchy, Loss of Agency, in Markets, in The Division of Labor in Exchange for the Dramatic Lowering of Costs From That Division of Labor. If you understand this then you will understand the purpose of religion, where it evolved, and when and why it evolved, and how and why a religion or any given aspect of a religion succeeds or is good, or fails or is bad. Religion trains the intuition, reason trains us in understanding, negotiation and planning, and skills train us in production in that division of sensation, perception, cognition, memory, advocacy, negotiation, and labor. With Religion we scale the hunt. Which in turn consists of the phases of the prey drive. Which is the eternal cycle of our lives. To search, to hunt or gather, to come together, to feast, to celebrate, to reproduce, to rest, to care, to want or need, and to begin again. Religion is a celebration of the cycle of life from the reptilian, mamilial, and human brain. We can never fully leave the animal behind, we can only satisfy it’s needs so that we can be human and take advantage of the returns on the division of labor. DEBT: Where worship means demonstration of appreciation for inheritance: debt. – Nature worship (debt) – Kin and Ancestor worship (debt) – Gods, demigods, heroes and saints worship (debt) CAPITALIZATION: And training in mindfulness: – Action: heroism – achievement – contribution and competition (cost) – Reason: stoicism – self authoring – tolerance and cooperation (cost) – Experience: epicureanism – peace and security (cost) REWARD: And the Ritual of the Feast – building community. – The Gathering, The Fire, The Call (reward) – The Parable, The Oath, the Testimony (reward) – The Sacrifice, The Feast, The Thanks (reward) – The Celebration (festival), The Sport (competition), The Dispersal ( sex, rest, care) (reward) RULES: And there are three sets of laws evident in the structure of the universe whether those laws were made by structural consequence, the design of divinity, or the hand of god. – The laws of nature. (physical limits) – The natural law of Sovereignty and Reciprocity (personal limits), with the christian via positiva law of love improving upon the via negativa natural law. – The evolutionary law of transcendence of man into gods. (political limits) This constitutes the law of religion.

We didn’t conquer you because we were Christian. We ended your poverty by letting you steal our technology because we are Christian. We had Christian faith that once you failed at Communism you would no longer be barbarians.
We were wrong. You remain barbarians.

@Djww5 @healingbyhenry @sunkiisss That is communist chinese propaganda. Does that mean your ancestors who kept the secret recipe for porcelain should not have?
A thing belongs to those who use violence to maintain their ownership. We don’t use violence – Because we wanted to end your primitive chinese barbarism.

RELIGION AND CONSPIRACY THEORY SHARE THE SAME ERROR OF FEMININE COGNITION: IMPUTATION OF INTENT
(possibly important)
—“Pattern recognition isn’t the problem, it’s the “imputing conscious intent” where none exists or cannot be demonstrated.”— (Daniel and others)
Why? Bias of brain and subsequent consciousness to think through an empathic lens rather than a systemic and material lens. The herd bias of empathy when grazing vs the pack bias of systems when hunting. The masculine brain sees systems where the feminine brain sees intentions.
There is a place for religion and it is a necessary place for the mammal inside.
