Dan rather
Its probably closer to darwin. In a figurative sense.
I guess you got me all figured out with the Abraham crap huh?
If you're a naturalist why are you upset about naturalist religions? I worship myself alone, I don't need any crutches or escapism, but I'd rather see the masses worshipping determination of self and the upholding of personal honor over the "skydaddy will forgive me if I say sorry" Christian ethos.
Get the fuck out of here with that naturalist shit. Its all natural. Indo-european religion replaced something else. The point is I dont embrace stupid backward baby murder cults. Not Norse paganism and not jewish communism.
You know the main “natural” god of the aryans was dyeus pater (dios, theos, zeus, jupiter) , literally sky father, right?
I worship myself alone
Oh that would be super duper if you were evolved to live in a society of one.
Religion evolved so that all members of a society could coodinate based on a common set of rules. The justification for those rules —e.g. The sky father wants me to do this— is not what is important. The important thing in the evolution of that society is how useful the rules are and how well they are observed.
You want to build a society where everyone worships themself? Haha, good luck with that. That is just jewish humanism. “Lets all just agree to use our best judgement and not be mean” —recipe for chaos and disaster. People cant be left to decide for themselves whether a thing is right or wrong. That is exactly what is causing the current fucking disaster.
Individuals will rationalize whatever they want to do whether it screws over their neighbor or not. I may be that you cannot get consistent results of responsible unselfish behavior without threatening people with eternal damnation or the wrath of god. That is a strategy proven to work. The threat of divine justice and reward has been proven to get white people to cooperate and march in to battle against enemies.
Who is going to have your back in a war if you “worship yourself?” Ridiculous.
Try to imagine that evolution is a thing. How do you think white people got to be white people? They followed an evolutionary strategy. How did they enforce it? Religion.
