I think it’s interesting that our ancestors whose civilization depended on blacksmith, bronze, horse, wheel, used giants, titans, and gods that lived on mountains, and the sun. And the semitics, whose civilization of myths about the stars; And the chinese pantheon who found heaven as a sort of parallel; All chose different means of representing what we think of as gods, with western gods the most material, then eastern, then semitic.

China has all but outlawed it as a ‘mental illness’.
The west will follow – slowly.

Well. The canon is rather obvious nonsense that fundamentalists cannot seem to get past. The question of Deism remains possible and Physical and Natural laws eradicate conflict. The left both uses Darwin against the religious right, and denies Darwin against the scientific right.

Martin Štěpán Germanic religion, in so far it can be called that, wasn’t in any
Martin Štěpán
Germanic religion, in so far it can be called that, wasn’t in any way centralized. There was no organization and no book every tribe would have. Every tribe’s version could slowly evolve and diverge, especially if they didn’t come into contact. What we have comes from Iceland written after Christianity was already in place. Even though the gods were shared and Odin does appear to be the head of the pantheon everywhere (Tacitus – central European Germanics, Geoffrey of Monmouth – Saxons) but who knows how the personalities and the stories might have differed.

fight fire with fire, and psychopomp with psychopomp.
P, in clarifying the reality of the socio-economic world, turns the wheel of gods, one more rotation back to tyr. law, born of martial culture which domesticates .. a natural response to Fenrir breaking his chains to race across the sky undoing the domestication of our animal nature.

This. This is good.
Curt.
Yeah, Bill has a thing there. That’s a good thing.

Going Into Depth on Trifunctionalism vs Competing Civilizations
[I]n the Proto-Indo-European mythology, each social group had its own god or family of gods to represent it and the function of the god or gods matched the function of the group. There are only three possible means of coercion (weapons of influence) available to humans, and we have developed genetic abilities, moral intuitions, and cultural institutions to reflect them: 1) The Established Male: Defense/Force 2) The Ascendent Male: Trade/Deprivation 3) The Female: Advocacy/Undermining We have three sets of faculties 1) The Physical and Performative : Science and evidence 2) The Verbal and Rational : Reason and logic 3) The Emotional and Intuitive: instincts and incentives There are also three methods of Fictionalisms (falsehoods) 1) Override Physical Intuition Magic to Pseudoscience 2) Override Verbal Intuition: Sophistry to Philosophy 3) Override Emotional Intuition: Occult to Theology This specialization has led to three classes: 1) Those who Fight (and judge) > Force/Defense 2) Those who Pray (an teach) > Undermining/Advocacy 3) Those who Produce (work) > Trade/Deprivation and 4) … Slaves (farm and household labor) and 5) … Animals (farm labor and foodstuffs) This pattern remains the same throughout western history until the possibility of the organization of complex production, distribution and trade, expands the influence of the middle class (elites) from those who produce, making them equal to those who fight and pray. The reason is simple, because of the division of labor between the material and spiritual elites, there was never the necessity for either to claim authority over the other. The result then was that during the age of transformation – the beginning of our religious traditions – the west developed a market of philosophy rather than a monopoly theology. it wasn’t until the intentional destruction of the western roman empire and the extermination of western thought by the jews christians and then muslims that we lost our philosophy to the semitic attempt at replicating supernatural equalitarian monopoly in Western tripartism and its markets. Semitic monotheism was not successful in europe because it was unable to displace the military aristocracy and instead evolved into a corrupt wing for second tier sons of wealthy families who could obtain political position. By the end of the early middle ages the church was so corrupt that the monasteries took over – hence poverty – as a means of suppressing the parasitism of the church. So our aristocracy and our common law remained and the catholic church was an unsuccessful competitor to the traditional european group strategy, and served only as administrative wing of the aristocracy and nobility. And then when Aristotle was restored to Europe, the legal profession advocated empiricism and once literacy returned then our ancient traditions were again expressed in wave after wave of reformation, resulting in the english constitution on one end, the protestant reformation, and the french attempt at preserving that feminine authoritarianism of the church first by killing the middle class – the protestants – and then by killing the aristocracy, and the by killing the church – all the most backward institutions in europe and instead of a protestant reformation and a middle class, napoleon’s conquest sought to achieve by arms what the church failed to do, and destroy the aristocratic heart of europe: the holy roman empire of the german states, that had governed the majority of europe from the 800’s onward – and defended europe against the dangers (hordes) of the east. The germans unified into a modern state in order to prevent yet another french conquest, and the french conspired with the rest of the world to keep german expansion in check – to continue the long running attempt by France to restore roman authoritarian order over Europe under the pretense of french enlightened view of man. But France’s enlightenment was a reaction AGAINST – a counter -revolution against – the british restoration of the european tradition of our Natural law, Sovereignty, and aristocracy and the meritocratic rather than elite government that results from meritocracy. Germany was suppressed and ‘de-prussianized’ by design by france’s dictate, and american self demagoguery not by anglo demand. So, today, because of increases in the complexity of production we have: 1) Those who Fight: Military and … Judiciary (rules, order) 2) Those who Pray: Priesthood(replaced), and … Politicians / Academy / Media / Entertainment 3) Those who Produce: Finance and Entrepreneurs, and … Craftsmen, Engineers, Professionals, and Scientists and 4)… “Slaves”: Labor, Service Labor, and 5) … “Animals”: Machines And in our gods we still have: 1) Fight: The Heroes of History and … Aristotle and the Law (rules, order) 2) Pray: The Philosophers (and theologians – what is left of them) … and Writers and Artists (Verbal) 3) Produce: The Economic Scientists, and Physical Scientists, … the Artisans (Material) and 4) … Slaves: The Liars: pseudoscientists sophists and supernaturalists and 5) … Machines: The Engineers And we see Civilizational Differences in Strategy: 1) The West (Tri-Hierarchy: Fight, Pray, Produce) Markets in everything. We use Extend tolerance as long as we can in favor of developing markets. Solve Problems Quickly when they arise so that they do not escalate beyond our ability to correct them 2) The Steppe (Russian) tries to balance the European tri-functionalism, with the Chinese mono-hierarchy, in an attempt to produce (unique) byzantine durability, and this balance has served them. And the west has not yet helped them. And this is yet another of our real crimes vs the false crimes of slavery and colonialism we have been criticized for. 3) The Chinese use Mono-Hierarchy: Bureaucratic familial hierarchy – by contrast use ‘reasonableness’ rather than reason proper. They use Delay, Deceive, and Accumulate power sufficient that they cannot be fought. 4) The Hindus use Caste Hierarchy: a “soft” military hierarchy – by contrast use myth and wisdom literature. They use their peninsular isolation, vast population, and lack of formal organization to make capture of rule possible but conquest impossible – only islam (the cancer) has been effective. 5) The Semites(Equalitarian families) by contrast use monopoly conflation of law, history, mythology. The use social cultural institutional and civilizational undermining from the bottom up, and continuous raiding to destroy the economy and exhaust the military, as a means of competition. They then destroy knowledge arts and letters, and use dysgenic reproduction to destroy the gene pool. I solve for transcendence: Adaptability and rapid evolution by Sovereignty, Reciprocity, Truth, Heroism, Adversarialism, and Markets in Everything, at the cost of the suppression of the production of the underclasses, so that proceeds can be devoted to the production of commons and the high returns therefrom. The only counter-claim is devolution – anti-evolution. This means it is always and everywhere decidable whether a claimed good is such. The west was not first, but fastest. And because fastest best. And best because of commons. That is what I seek to restore.

“It would be cool to watch you debate theologians.”
—“It would also be cool to watch you debate theologians. Not pansy ones either but the few who are also high level scientists.”— A Friend
[I]t‘s a very simple argument: What is a theologian claiming: Good and wisdom, or True and demonstrable? What can they testify to? How can they demonstrate it? How can they warranty it? What is their incentive? What are the costs if they lie? Why is the world of science good for man, and the world of religion devolutionary for man? Why is science of man good and the actions of god evil? Why did christians jews and muslims create a dark age? Why are the churches full of our least competent people? Why did the churches fail to reform? Why did Europe abandon christianity? Why did the evangelical movement succeed and why are Americans leaving the church and dividing half secular and half evangelical? What should the church have done when theology was continuously defeated by science and proven false? Why did the church resist literacy of the people. Why did the church resist the printing of the bible in the people’s language? Why did the monastic orders arise if not in response tot he corruption of the church? Why did the church need the vikings to fight the crusades? Was christianity adopted or was it enforced in the past as islam is still enforced today? Did the christians destroy the ancient world, it’s monuments, it’s arts and letters, its academies, its accumulated knowledge, and instead of restoring roman order, aristocracy, literacy, and greek knowledge, drag Europe and the pagan peoples into dark ages? Why is the abrahamic method of deceit used by jews, christians and muslims used again by marxists, postmodernists, and feminist to repeat the same destruction of the old world to destroy the new – this time with false promise of economic and political reward instead of life after death and political reward? Why do theologians use the same arguments as the marxists, postmodernists, and feminists who destroy this world. I have never found a theological argument I cannot defeat. We know too much now. Hence (a) there currently are, and have been, many gods. (b) all gods exist as information, (c) this information exists in the minds of man, (d) this information influences individual and group behavior (e) this behavior is often good, but vulnerable to conquest – which was the purpose of the church. (f) but as a consequence it produces an addiction response when threatened, and is defended by the abrahamic method of deceit rather than just the simple statement “I have faith that if I live my life by jesus’ teachings that my life, the life of those around me, the life of my polity, and of mankind, in this world, and in the next if there is one, will be better than if I did not.” If you must argue your faith. you have none. Faith needs no argument. That is what it means to have faith.
