    I think my preferred option would be “no, it wouldn’t change anything.”

    The only substantive problem with religious content consists in the distinction between wisdom literature (idealism in the mind) and testifiable truth (realism in the existental world).

    I can ‘science’ christianity into four or five general rules that are the entire purpose of the religion in creating a standard of weights and measures that facilitate human cooperation despite human bias to easy insult of offense. The rest of the canon just consists of parables to instill those for or five general rules into our intution in a host of contexts by appealing to a subset of our intuitions (non-aggression, submission to strategy, manners, morals, ethics, norms, and traditions … and the resulting mindfulness we obtain from the reduction conflcit both real and potential that results).

    Cheers

    Africa had just begun developing an empirial civilization when it was subject to european conquest. The geography limited the spread of islam from east and north, and christianity from the east. So Africa never produced the pre-requisites for a universal standard of ethics or morality, so the strategy, traditions, morals, ethics, and norms remained varied. There are I think four family types in africa and these family types generally exist in response to local economic and security needs, and so these four very simple systems appear to have served the people for centuries. (I have only read a few books on african family structures so I must temper my argument to what I know reasonably well.)
    The spread of protestant chirstianity (evangelical) in africa from the USA has been profoundly beneficial where it has taken root. Just the oppposite is true for islam.

    I mean, …. protestantism is a return to scripture and a rejection of theological dogma and philosophy, while post aquinian catholicism is more of a merger of philosophy and theology (structurally).

    Good clarification. Catholic dogmatic adhrerence is still present, and demand for theocracy still present, but it is less ‘ridiculous’ than biblical fundamentalism. Though catholicism before 1200 and after 1200 are as diffrent as catholicism from protestantism in this regard.

    (thanks GC)
    @vvphilo
    Using Twitter brevity.
    1) as we include each ‘class’ into the society (norms, traditions, religion), economy, and polity (voice, voting, politicians), each class is forced to adapt to the metaphysical foundations of our civilization (maximization of individual responsibilty for private and common) – and each class instead, resists, and seeks privileges rather than fully integrates.

    2) We have seen this same problem with the classes as Aristocracy (conquerors, order, state) > Common folk (Organized Religion) > Middle class (resetoration of european trade, enlightenment) > working class (industrial revolution, leftism) > women (feminism, postwar economy, amplified leftism) > immigrants (anti-male, anti-white, neo-marxism, postmodernism, woke).

    3) All differences in behavior are due to (a) sex differences in perception and cognition, (b) evolution (neoteny) (c) genentic load (class) (d) accumulation of a,b,c in ethnic groups (races, subraces, etc). However, the origins of all differences in behavior is sex differences. In sex differences we find:

    MALE VS FEMALE
    Predator vs Prey
    Safety vs Security
    Over-Time vs In-Time
    Systematizing vs Empathizing
    Status via Hyper Capitalizing vs by Hyper Consuming
    Seeking Responsibility & Risk vs Evading Responsibilty & Risk
    Loyalty Over Time vs Devotion In Time

    4) The male strategy of capitalization (consequences) despite the costs vs The female strategy of hyperconsumption regardless of consequences (costs).
    This means that the feminine strategy, combined with adding women to the polity, is the first time we have had a hostile, anti-civilizational demographic, opposing western maximization of individual responsibility (‘Whiteness’) added to the economy and polity.
    Worse, the only female intellectuals are the ashkenazim, who invented the entire marxist sequence of marxism, Leninism (the american left), neoMarxism (cultural marxism), postmodernism(anti-truth marxism), anti-middle class neoconservatism (soviet anti-aristocratic libertarianism), anti-male and anti-family feminism, anti-white and anti white male woke. And we have added them to the polity, academy, media, and state by favoring postwar credentialism instead of demonstrated competency in the production of multi-generational nobility, industrial production, or military service – meaning people with demonstrated success in the exercise of and fostering of, individual responsibilty.

    5) Sex diffferences are expressed in antisocial behavior as well as all other aspects of behavior. in almost all cases the female antisocial behavior is devoted to advancing consumption and evading responsibility and claiming it’s moral obligation to care – instead of treason, sedition, undermining, theft, fraud, parasitism, and free riding. We see this in the female and jewish and now immigrant use of female tactics of distracting from their crimes, and evading the truth, in order to evade responsibiity or obtaining their wants by trade (usually by behavioral modification) by generating conflict by by “Gossping, shaming, rallying, obscuring, loading, framing, psychologizing, moralizing, denying and lying”. (I cover the female, jewish, marxist-sequence method of lying in my (our) work in excruciating detail … as well as the male that we are familiarl with.

    6) while we have successfully suppressed most male antisocial, anti-economic, anti-political behavior: the direct physical: violece, theft, and some fraud – we have not suppressed the female method of antisocial,anti-economic and anti-political behavior: the destruction of the information system, placing face betfore truth, social construction of falsehoods, impossiblities, and mythos of oppression (they’re being domesticated into responsibilty not oppressed) and infantilizing the population as a consequence – creating the present crisis. And in doign so generating demand for their authoritarianism (Leninism).

    7) As such we have not outlawed the feminine methods of criminality as thorougly as we have outlawed the male methods of criminality – despite that these female behaviors were in the english common law, and the germanic law, as far back as we are aware of laws. And It turns out that we can outlaw these behaviors, and it’s not terribly difficult to do so, once you understand ‘all of it is lying and stealing and fraud’.

    8) Ergo our mission is reducible to (a) truth is enough, (b) the intergenerational family not the individual is the purpose of public policy, and (c) let a thousand nations bloom because we require different policy (commons) to accomodate the needs of people who are at, and because of their demographics, are only capable of, obedience to informal and formal institutions within the limit of their ability to comprehend and bear responsibility.

    9) As such our organization has produce the largest set of reforms since those of the Roman reforms, and for the same purpose as the roman reforms: to prevent civil war made possible by the elevation of classes into participation into society, economy, and polity.

    10) These reforms begin with completing our natural (scientifc) common (scientific), concurrent (scientific) law. Plugging the approximately eight holes in the constitution that allow the abuses foisted upon us in both private and publics spheres. Reverting power back to the states to restore responsibility accuntability and the market for policy and polities. Reforming legislation, education, the financial sector, consumer protection, and even our geostrategy. Too much to list here, and in extraordinary detail (we are operationalists, meaning strict constructionists, meaning we have made it very difficult for people both private and public to continue to prey upon our people.

    We do our work live and in public so it is visible in it’s working state – which doesn’t mean it’s organized, complete, or easy to comprehend. But it’s deep, profound, and rock solid.
    And there is no equivalent of it outside of the founding fathers’ work on the declaration and constitution.

    The fundamentalist, deist, and the materialist explanations do not differ in the result of why we are here, only in the excuse for claiming they know why we are here when they do not and cannot know, nor regardless of why we are here what we should do while we are here. Or more correctly and this take take some further explanation, you will find no nihilistic claims that are not acts of theft from individuals, famly, polity, or broader mankind. One must have reasons for holding a position. The nihilist position (believing in nothing at all, not just not believing in the divine) always and everywhere has a cause, and that cause is a retaliation against the fact that one percieves one’s self worth greater than others demonstrate one has worth, and as such it’s simply a therapy game for the immature or disturbed mind.
