A rioting country needs to be guided by religious teachings, but which religious teachings?
As I watch our country
torn apart by racial riots my thought is that a country needs to be
guided by religious teachings. But which religious teachings? Which
God?
The fatal error of most
religions comes from demeaning the material world, which stems from
making Godhood non-material and entirely spiritual. The elite of most religions reject
the material world and reject bodily desires so that may dwell in the
bodily bliss that results from that rejection, which they wrongly
think is spiritual.
Theological materialism
defines Godhood as evolved to in the material and supermaterial
world, which brings religion back to the real world and the
biological origin of social behavior, along with the sociobiological
view of human nature.
"The genes hold
culture on a leash. The leash is very long, but inevitably values
will be constrained in accordance with their effects on the human
gene pool. The brain is a product of evolution. Human behavior . .is
the circuitous technique by which human genetic material has been and
will be kept intact...” Edward O. Wilson
Theological materialism
asserts that morality has the ultimate function of culturally aiding
life in evolving to ascending levels of supermaterial Godhood, which
is also the zenith of success in survival and reproduction.
Given the biological
origin of human nature, which is kin and ethnic centered, an
ethnopluralism of ethnostates for all distinctive groups seems like
the best instinctive, moral, and rational bio-political choice, where
groups can maintain, theocracies, or the separation of church and
state, or whatever, protected
from marauding imperialists, supremacists, and global money grubbers,
with a defensive federalism.
I believe we humans will
eventually move in the direction of theological materialism to save
ourselves, if we can survive that long.
