Regarding the ethnic differences which continue today to tear us apart,
Christianity encourages the spirit of oneness and universalism with
the teachings of Christ. This at first seems to conflict with the
spirit of ethnopluralism, which encourages the natural separation of
distinctive ethnic groups based mainly on the strong biological or
genetic elements of group-selection in real human nature.
Marxism promotes another version of oneness and universalism
believing that cultural nurturing (on not nurturing) makes men
different and unequal, and biology and genes have little or nothing
to do with it.
Nietzsche rejected Christianity largely
for this reason, he found “universalism” and “oneness” an
absurd fiction. I think Nietzsche could have been more like Aquinas
in transforming Christianity rather than rejecting it, but perhaps
without the hyperintellectualism of Aquinas. I think Nietzsche should
have been more conservative and less radical in transforming and not
rejecting religion.
Real
universal oneness is seen in the universal drive to survival
and reproductive success along with the preference for
group-selection which all people, all ethnic groups, possess. This is
what creates many of the conflicts and competitions, which
ethnopluralism can help to harmonize, by separating the fighters, as
in a schoolyard altercation. Ethnopluralism becomes the real and
practical solution to us all getting along better, more than
preaching univeralism, oneness, and equality, which does not reflect real human
nature.
As to retaining or transforming
Godhood, theological materialism affirms the material evolution to
real Godhood, which reflects the sacred inward drive of life
“universally” within all people. This sacred goal is better
realized and evolved toward, with fewer conflicts, in the conditions
of variety and separations of ethnopluralism.
