Similar religious ethics, different sacred goals

The ethics of the Evolutionary Christian Church resemble the values of the great religions, with a different understanding of the sacred goal. This includes traditional ethics which reflected what worked best for human nature in survival and reproductive success over time. For example, such things as loyalty in marriage, kin and group-centeredness, hierarchies, incest taboo, gender differences with room for modern cultural-technological changes, and so on, and these things were bonded by religious rituals.

The sacred goal has been transformed in the ECC from the inward to the outward Godhood while still retaining the inward Father Within as a mirror of the Godhood reached through material and supermaterial evolution. The Twofold Path and theological materialism transform the goal and the myth.

Violent idealism is not welcome in this mission. Meritocracy is a solid preference. As Raymond Cattell pointed out, we begin with equal opportunity for all knowing that different genetic and cultural makeups will alter the end results. The principle of neighborliness in society can help those with intellectual and physical incapacitates without slowing the gifted down, as too often happens now.  Intelligence is needed for our complicated problems now more than ever.

We are proceeding in our evolution to Godhood on general scientific principles but also from religious intellectual intuition.  With the progress of education in sociobiology, majorities in democracies will want to pursue the supreme survival and religious success of evolving to Godhood, by continually enhancing health, energy, intelligence, emotional maturity, and beauty. Our mission will be to help this heroic evolution along even though we cannot know the complete future.
