Theological materialism is a conservative philosophy and is not radical utopian ideology
For those conservatives who have called
for more humility and less hubris among conservatives, here is a
little arrogance and hubris, or even megalomania, which seems
to be the unavoidable accusation in presenting an improved religious philosophy---at least
if you don't mince words. Theological materialism is a conservative philosophy and is not radical utopian ideology.
There are two ecumenical things which
all religions can celebrate if they affirm the philosophy of
theological materialism: all religions share the same inward God,
which in reality was/is a peak experience in the material
mind, and all people, all groups, all biology, share the same inward
material activation to evolve in the material world toward
supermaterial Godhood working along with outside natural evolution,
which seeks the zenith of success in survival and reproduction.
This philosophy can harmonize naturally
competing human groups in the world but it can also synthesize
religion and science, without trying to jam everyone together into
the impossible ecumenical dream of one, equal, non-competing world.
This is also the way to both conserve past religions which were
mainly the symbolic experience of God in the Inward Path, while
including the Outward Path of material evolution to real Godhood.
International research centers can be
set up with both religion and science working together to aid in
healthy evolution on earth, and to aid in the evolution toward
Godhood of distinct groups living in their own regions and
ethnostates in harmony with real human nature, which remains
ethnocentric. This worldview gives life on earth and mankind a divine
material goal which has been missing from religion, science
and modern philosophy.
