    Default The Christian demand for truth was its own demise

    "One can see what it was that actually triumphed over the Christian god: Christian morality itself, the concept of truthfulness that was taken ever more rigorously; the father confessor's refinement of the Christian conscience, translated and sublimated into a scientific conscience, into intellectual cleanliness at any price."

    https://www.holybooks.com/wp-content...-Nietzsche.pdf

    Religion is myth. And its benefits are precisely because it is myth. Once religion ventures into the realm of truth it dissolves.

    Looking at nature as if it were proof of the goodness and care of a god; interpreting history in honor of some divine reason, as a continual testimony of a moral world order and ultimate moral purposes; interpreting one's own experiences as pious people have long interpreted theirs, as if everything were providential, a hint, designed and ordained for the sake of salvation of the soul - that is over now; that has conscience against it; every refined conscience considers it to be indecent, dishonest, a form of mendacity, effeminacy, weakness, cowardice.

    What does social conscience have to do with personal consciousness with adapting to the moment all the time living here now proportionately alive as one of a kind withiout a doubt established socially from people wishing living was more than adapting to space evolving forward now genetics maintains eternal separation of each ancestor regardless species type or generation gap arrived in and departed as.
    Every brain born has a lifetime conflict with ancestral displacement and intellectual social position within the population present. Why, life is a compounding connection between inception, conception, death, extinction life doesn't exceed what exists now.

    Some people hate science


    And math


    And history


    When you believe something in your soul sans facts that is faith


    When you believe something due to provable facts that is science


    Science is revised when facts demand it to


    Religion is revised when it must do so or die



    I prefer science to faith


    But I will always defend someone’s right to believe their faith



    I will also always defend peoples rights believe in science


    There is one science


    There are many faiths


    Faith does not make a good factual base to design society's ability to function for all on

    If you don’t want people to insult your faith


    Don’t insult people for not believing your faith


    See how that works

    What drove the death of Christianity and the West is a very important question to answer.

    I dont have it yet, but it certainly was not the seeking of truth.
    I choose my own words like the Americans of olden times........before this dystopia arrived.

    Facts are more reliable than prepackaged religions


    We know know much of the answers people sought with religion


    Facts produce better results than what religion can produce

    You can be angry at science for that if you wish


    But it doesn’t change the facts

    1) Your post has nothing to do with mine.

    2) I was never a Christian, I went to Church less than 10 times as a kid, and I did not like it.

    Surely part of the problem is the failure to understand man, and thus what sustains us. We pretended that we are all rational beings and that the arc bends towards us being good not evil, and towards progress...all of which are false. We can be good and we can grow and learn and get better, but this requires a lot of us, building is hard, it does not happen by magic.
