I know Tom but he doesn’t like the ‘manner in which I conduct’ myself apparently. And I’m sure he dislikes my stand on the church. Taleb is easily defeated. I think Molyneux did on ok job. I think I would merely provide insight into why he is engaged in deceitful nonsense.

AND YOU WILL KNOW GOOD AND EVIL
by Predmetsky Rosenborg
Early Gnostic texts portray the serpent and Eve (sometimes almost conflating them) as positive messengers of truth and God as evil. In the case of Marcion, at least, it was the Old Testament God who was evil.
What’s interesting is that the New Testament portrays Satan as a liar and the father of lies, but in the text of Genesis, God seems to acknowledge that Satan was telling the truth after all.
“For God knows that when you eat from it your eyes will be opened, and you will be like God, knowing good and evil” (Gen. 3:5)
“Then the Lord God said, “Behold, the man has become like one of us in knowing good and evil. Now, lest he reach out his hand and take also of the tree of life and eat, and live forever—”(Gen. 3:22).

Christianity was a gamble. Like all things ironically we can judge them by their results (by their fruits).
The good that we see is largely confirmation bias. The harm is in the category of unknown for most people due to chaos of measurement.
But for those committed to truth and logic it’s hard not to see the sophistry as a major step back from the path Aristotle and Pythagoras were on.
The group strategy as it turns out is probably more a biological strategy of high trust peoples evolving over time. Why do we label it as Christian when we have empirical evidence of optimum group strategies from Rome and Greece?

Mindfulness is good. Mythological Strategy is good. Church (oath, feast, ritual)
Mindfulness is good.
Mythological Strategy is good.
Church (oath, feast, ritual) is good.
Festival and Sport is Good
Jesus is far better than good.
That is not to say christianity is good.

The church never did anything for good reason. Ever. Like any bureaucracy it it wanted a population of ignorant obedient labor it could rent seek from.

@Protagoris7788 @FaithGoldy That’s not really true. Father’s, Brother’s Daughter marriage over generations is so.Repeated reproduction of the underclass is so.The church had no knowledge of genetics, they only wanted to give women property rights so that the church could more easily obtain land. That’s all.

So no. The church just wanted to force the great families to hand over land so it could rent it out. By the late middle ages the church had made 50% of the capital in europe dead. Printing, breaking the church, were as responsible for european recovery as was sail.
