    (FB 1543185228 Timestamp) THE HAPPY CHRISTIAN TROPE IS TRUE Mindfulness breeds happiness and christianity produces one of the optimum forms of mindfulness – at the cost of being vulnerable to hostile cultures. The general argument that christians place more investment in the family and atheists more in the self is impossible to refute. This may also be affected by the sortition of post 1960’s delayed marriage, and the pairing off of people who both have education and career and hyper consume rather than a man who produces and a woman who reproduces. The fact that christians are happier, breed faster, and are less political, is simply consistent over time. The family is the optimum unit of production of generations and the state is terrible at it, favoring instead the individual over the family producing the hyperconsumption and hollowing out of the middle of the population that must both produce and reproduce, where the underclass only reproduces and the upper classes only produce thereby destroying not only the familiy, and the genome, but the civilization itself.

    (FB 1543241097 Timestamp) ENDING BROTHER WARS by Bill Joslin hmmmm…. I thought the whole point of highlighting the lies of Abrahamism was to forever eradicate pitting brothers against each other over religion. My stance, not that it matters, hinges on the private-public distinction. I don’t care, nor do I proclaim to have authority over what others think or believe in the private sphere. If you want to hold metaphor or allegory as real then I say have at’er- not my business, nor does it impose costs on me if you choose to do so. Further to that, I wouldn’t fault a man for doing so. However, within the public sphere, these claims will be held to account – FULL ACCOUNT – including, but not limited to, the false claims that Christianity is the essential component to western thriving – it’s simply not. Western thriving did not occur until law and governance were abstracted away from religion into their own respective institutions… So here’s the deal – until the religious begin reporting truthfully in the public sphere or keep their private assertions private or qualify their public statements about private beliefs; we will continue to prosecute publicly…. that’s all that is going on here – prosecution of public lies – prosecution of private-public conflations.

Right now I’m angry. I hate that Augustine and Aquinas wasted their minds on nonsense. I think Thomas would have completed propertarianism 800 years ago, but here we are.”—Ryan Williams …

I’m working on the constitution and it’s statements on religion so I had to test some ideas. I should be done and will move on again shortly. I got stuck on the debt-creation concept a few weeks ago and only felt I got my arms around it in the past week. Working through that problem meant trying a lot of arguments from a lot of angles. And this forum is where I run experiments, and people try to refute them, and I learn from that ‘market’ activity. Doing my job. It’s part of the job. That said, I am profoundly proud of working through the problem of religion. It is the hard problem of social science. And worse, like Truth Telling, it is EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE to produce a good religion and extremely cheap to produce a bad one. Law and Markets are trivial achievements by comparison. Cheers.

    (FB 1543254265 Timestamp) THE IDOL OF JESUS VS THE LOVE OF OUR PEOPLE I would say that there are many heroes of history to imitate, and that given that christianity was designed as a war against western civilization – one that we have thankfully twisted to our own use over the centuries – there are rules we can take from christianity and those ideas that we can and should leave behind. I would suggest we love our people. That the church philosophers did a fairly good job of producing Christian Love in us. And it is christian love that is what makes us christians. And that supernatural crutches are very bad for us. There are far too many christians who escape the real burden of christian love through the IDOL of jesus. And therefore are not christians, but charlatans claiming virtues that they do not possess.

The State wants religion.”—Anne Summers

It is not a matter of abandoning christianity, but further reforming it so that it is a european religion of transcendence, not a middle eastern, or third world cult of poverty, ignorance, and servitude.— (worth repeating)
