A religion with high standards for members is effectively doing evolutionary selection for its group based on these standards. Most religions encourage in-group breeding. Good religions encourage monogamy which is eugenic and discourage promiscuity which is dysgenic. Monogamy selects for responsible parenting while promiscuity selects for immoral behavior through Fisherian selection. I wrote a long post about these ideas here:

Religion is the only practical solution. Political solutions are simply not practical. But a small group of people could form a eugenic religion.

>Good religions encourage monogamy

Implying islam encourages monogamy is a stretch. Last time I checked you were into islam, so I guess it qualifies as "good religion" for you

Islam doesn't encourage monogamy

You can marry as much women as you want as long as you can afford it basically

And it's not just all about gene selection in the end, sure it definitely matters, you evidently don't want an army of retards. But having an army of super humans who don't understand why doing evil is wrong isn't that much better. I can eventually turn out to be much worse.

So much potential flaws in this... Where to start...

"Religion", what do you call religion? Putting islam, judaism, christianism, luciferianism, animism and all their respective sub denominations in the same bag? A la LGBTQPZ++?

We can put communism, nazism, fascism, anarchism, imperialism, nationalism, centrism etc in the same bag and call it politics. And then what? It's everything and anything

It's flawed, you start a reasoning on that basis you can only end up with a wrong result at best, garbages in garbages out

...

Polical solution aren't practical? History shows the opposite... Tell me how unpractical a constitutional republic is for a start.

...

A small group of people could form a eugenic religion? They could as well form a political party or a social club, what's the difference? Both are grounded in ideals and theories about how shit should be run

...

Christ is the truth, and the bible was written by men, and salvation isn't in the state. Maybe one could start there. That's already a good start.

If the everything solution was just a one liner we would already have come up with it... Men have spent thousands of years thinking shit through and through, for what exactly? Come up with a system to handle their environment, starting with their fellow men within the goup, handling the group itself, and their relationship with the other groups and other indivduals and the world around them to a larger extent

They tried to come up with alternative solutions, systems, to what is the obvious ideal solution. The ideal solution, is simple in theory, but almost impossible in practice; stop doing evil entirely, try to do good instead everytime you can, everybody is his own cop, and shit will drastically improve

That's the intent with early christianity for instance. But well, since "we" realized not everyone would get on board with the program, "we" had to start to imagine, create, and put in place more coercive systems called governments to compensate...

And yeah, "start over kill them all!", we tried that

You have all your facts wrong, so debate is hopeless.

That's not an argument

And to be honest, it's the other way around, I've been so spot on you just called it quit

Correct, that's not an argument. I don't argue with my neighbor's barking dog, and I don't argue with people who have no grasp of reality. If you would fix some of your factual errors in your comment, then I can respond with an argument.
