    RELIGION IS A POOR SUBSTITUTE FOR THE HUNT

    All religion is poor substitute for the initiatic brotherhood of warriors, their hunt, the feast that results, and the thanks of all for it. There is no greater promise than the oath. No greater mindfulness than the hunt. No greater bond than the with those with whom we fight and kill. No greater thrill than winning (Killing). No greater social experience than the feast. No greater thanks than for the feast.

    Pity the weak their substitutes.

    There are an infinite number of fictions we can fabricate. There is only one most parsimonious description. As far as I know a god is a fictional character. A demigod is a fictional character. A hero is a fictional character. And archetypal measurements are the easiest for man.

    GODS? GUILTY AS CHARGED
    (edited for clarity)

    In the matter of gods we have only the testimony of men, and the means, motive, and opportunity to lie in their testimony. Given means motive and opportunity to lie, and no evidence of all that they speak the truth, then all gods are merely fictional characters. Those characters serve as anthropomorphic analogies. Those analogies serve as to provide decidability when we have no other means of deciding.

    It is not that gods – like all units of measurement – are not useful. They are. Particularly for the intergenerational transfer of such units of measurement.

    But there is no difference between Gandalf and Jehova and Allah other than that we make no false testimony to the existence of Gandalf, and we give false testimony to the existence of Jehova and Allah. We must give false testimony because we cannot give testimony of any other kind. It is not possible. None of us have observed the existence of any god that cannot be explained by more simple means.

    We can however, give thanks to our ancestors. That is because we have ancestors worthy of our thanks. The reason for the fabrication of Jehova and Allah is that the people who invented those fictional characters had no ancestors worthy of their thanks.

    Means, Motive, and Opportunity.

    Guilty as Charged.
