(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.

(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 1543194539 Timestamp) SORRY GUYS, DOIN’ MY JOB —“…Stop talking about fucking religion all the time and get back to strategizing against the neoliberal world order and promoting anti-poz behavior.”—Dylan Newman Sorry man. 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.

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)

(FB 1543250817 Timestamp) SIGNALS AND RELIGION by Luke Weinhagen Signals are like a drug. You get the dopamine hit from doing the signalling without having to expose yourself to the costs of doing the being. Signals are passive. Being is active. Your actions are always the expression of your truth .Where your passive state does not match your active state, your passive state is a lie. It is the exposure of this lie that people are responding to. It is the trappings of these belief systems that are, and should be, under attack first. The trapping are the passive decorations of belief, not the costly actions of belief. One can wear them and signal their belonging and righteousness. These are merely the demands the religion makes of its believers. Stripping this away is the first attack. There is no action here so there is no agency here. The response is all upset Once the trapping are stripped away you can know what the religion actually demands of its adherents. You learn what actions one must take as a practitioner, not just one that signals belief, but puts that belief into action. Where the attack on religion meets the practitioner is where agency begins to be available. It is at this point where practitioner of and critics of can meet with cooperation, boycott or violence. Where we have the opportunity to strip away those actions that impose an external cost and use the good that remains to help guide men to transcendence. Cooperation to remove the errors and lies and retain that which allows transcendence. Boycott to deny the external costs of errors and lies and allow the practitioners able to do so to keep their faith with full internal accounting. (Bill’s “Ending Brother Wars”) Violence to end the external costs of error and lies for practitioners unable to practice full accountability. (my guess is that when we get to a point where natural law is implemented, we will see cooperation, boycott and violence line up with Christianity, Judaism and Islam) In the exploration of religious belief, dogma and ideology I think Curt’s recent “No More Lies” post is one of his most important (even if you believe he got every single detail wrong) as it shows the effect of stripping away the trappings – https://www.facebook.com/curt.doolittle/posts/10156800621732264

(FB 1543247701 Timestamp) CREATING THE HIGH-DISGUST PERSONALITY BIAS (pls discuss) by Anne Summers I would argue 2 things… Abrahamic religions are attractive to, and create high disgust personalities. It’s the high disgust, low tolerance mind set that will “win the day”. (“The Most Intolerant Always Wins”) Abrahamic religions aren’t the problem, from looking at it from your point of view, it’s the high tolerance nature of the European.
