None of those empires would have expanded without religion

2017-08-05 18:13:37 UTC  

But a holistic view of existence as MEANINGFUL

2017-08-05 18:13:49 UTC  

This is motivationally essential

2017-08-05 18:14:03 UTC  

Religion gives existence meaning

2017-08-05 18:14:04 UTC  

And keeps our psyche grounded

2017-08-05 18:14:09 UTC  

also interestingly, despite the modern stereotype based on southern hicks that religiosity and learning are antithetical, throughout history it's been the religious priests who kept literacy and historical records going

2017-08-05 18:14:22 UTC  

More than that, nothing else really does

2017-08-05 18:14:32 UTC  

But of course you are right

2017-08-05 18:14:58 UTC  

Leftism comes close as an antireligion

2017-08-05 18:15:04 UTC  

I also think a lack of a overwhelming dominant religion in Africa is the reason Africa is so backwards

2017-08-05 18:15:06 UTC  

A parody of faith

2017-08-05 18:15:14 UTC  

No it has religion

2017-08-05 18:15:23 UTC  

Embedded in all of life

2017-08-05 18:15:33 UTC  

What it doesnt have is philosophy

2017-08-05 18:15:49 UTC  

Not one singular dominant one, like America and Europe

2017-08-05 18:15:55 UTC  

And Asia

2017-08-05 18:15:56 UTC  

Oh right

2017-08-05 18:15:59 UTC  

Well east Asia

2017-08-05 18:16:08 UTC  

those people all battle deep seated existential depression though, and end up either on prozac or at raves doing drugs . Now that these "EDM festivals" are so common, it seems the official secular religious service is now held on fridays and saturdays and is called a rave

2017-08-05 18:16:09 UTC  

Maybe, I dont think so but maybe

2017-08-05 18:16:28 UTC  

Africa would have been better under white Christian rule

2017-08-05 18:16:33 UTC  

For example islamic and christian nigs do connect beyond tribe

2017-08-05 18:16:35 UTC  

Like it was

2017-08-05 18:16:38 UTC  

I see raves as outright satan worship, I always have. Just put a statue of ba'al in there or something

2017-08-05 18:16:42 UTC  

Its still small scale though

2017-08-05 18:16:52 UTC  

What do you mean better Josef

2017-08-05 18:16:56 UTC  

Not better

2017-08-05 18:17:00 UTC  

More developed

2017-08-05 18:17:07 UTC  

Forward thinking, technologically advanced and yes better

2017-08-05 18:17:09 UTC  

They need low scale existence

2017-08-05 18:17:17 UTC  

That is not better for them

2017-08-05 18:17:21 UTC  

And a lie anyway

2017-08-05 18:17:26 UTC  

yeah churches are always very segregated. I suspect it has to do with being unable to share your deepest feelings and talk about things of greatest importance with people who are not even the same race as you are

2017-08-05 18:17:28 UTC  

That's not my problem

2017-08-05 18:17:33 UTC  

It's better for them in the long run

2017-08-05 18:17:34 UTC  

Why bother

2017-08-05 18:17:52 UTC  

Not at all. Unless you engineer them over generations.

2017-08-05 18:17:59 UTC  

why do you want what is best for the cursed seed of Cain? You should want the worst

2017-08-05 18:18:00 UTC  

We leave Africa to do what it wants and what do they? Kill eachother

2017-08-05 18:18:01 UTC  

And to what purpose?

2017-08-05 18:18:06 UTC  

Yes
