Judaism Flawed, Not Evil
Often I call Judaism evil in previous entries, but that has mainly been a rhetorical strategy to make abundantly clear the nature of the flaw of Judaic culture. The flaw is so concerning that continuing to ignore it is in fact evil because of how humanity has developed as a civilization over the last two thousand years. We are no longer tribes forming into a nations and each nation being concerned for itself. We are now all nations of human beings concerned together as a single species on a single planet with a single home.
Because that is now the reality of our international culture we have to reevaluate some of the old ways of viewing reality that were primarily focused on the interests of the individual parts of human nature in a boundless conceptual world, as opposed to a limited world of a planet with finite bounderies. It was the extent of the imagination to conceptualize the limits of the known world back then, but now… well we take for granted the knowledge that we have of being a species living on a single sphere in an immensely greater environment of possibility. That doesn’t mean the ancestors of the past were wrong, but we are certainly of a different mind now because of what we understand our future goals to be in the long-term of intergenerational civilization.
What are our goals as a people, all people, five, six, or seven generations from now? I think it’s fairly clear that the common goal all humans share is the possibility of prosperous expansion beyond planet Earth. For that to be possible, it is even more abundantly clear, in my opinion, that we need to stop fighting each other over conflicts that are counterproductive to all of our interests in regard to that goal. As long as nations are quarreling over our planetary resources, cultural grievances, and other terrestrian issues, we will all be holding each other back. It is far easier to destroy, sabotage, and ruin a project of great technological advancement than it is to cooperate and complete one. Thus, we cannot risk our cooperation being ruined by ignoring easily resolved problems now so they won’t be threatening to boil over into fighting five generations from now.
Now Jews are basically the bottom line of this international conflict. Not because they are the first humans, but because of the violent use of monotheism to dominate cultures around the world which began with the Jews. I don’t care what you have to say about that theologically right now, because that is not a concern. Nor is it a concern whether you are atheist, polythesitic, Buddhist, or anything else, because faith is irrelevant in the problem and the solution.
The problem is lawless use of physical violence to take, sieze, and control resources and territory with an unethical and immoral delusion of self-importance or plain apathetic selfishness that ignores the suffering one causes to others in pursuit of their own gain. That is the problem, and monotheism does not teach that, does not support that, and is not a faith based on that kind lifestyle. However, that is basically what began as an innocent idea of Judaism—before Abraham and circumcision— grew out of control and split off into multiple different heads of different monsters called Judaism, Christianity, and Islam.
Everyone who is friends with a Jew, a Christian, or a Muslim knows that there are “good” ones and “bad” ones, and this is what I am talking about. The USA is integral into the solution as a opposite of monotheistic culture, and this is good and necessary. Basically Jews started off by fighting all the polytheists saying we will kill every last one of you that try to take our culture away from us and we need our dedicated nation to be at peace. Now, it is pretty much the opposite. Polytheists, even without a formally established state religion, feel the same way about the monotheists. We will kill every last one of you and fight you to the death if you try to take away our culture, homes, and nation. We have a dedicated place in the USA where all religions can be practiced, including monotheism, and you will not take that away from us.
Please respect our boundaries in the USA if you want your boundaries respected in the Middle Eastern territories.
To that end Jews should be aware that their culture is hostile to Gentiles. That is not in question, there is no argument about that, and nobody sane or with the most bare minimum of an education should be denying that! It is a simple fact of our identity! That does not mean we have to fight about it. All that means is that you need to know what nation you are in: Gentile(polytheistic) or Jew(monotheistic). If you are aware of your own identity and what the laws are of the nation you are in, you should be careful not to step on the toes of the people who live there or try to take away their law from them to replace it with your own. Just be polite, keep your private beliefs to yourself, and try to get along. For Gentiles in Israel it is the same!
That is how to manage the present situation and that is the way it has always been done, but is not the solution. That is what needs to happen at present while the solution comes about to prevent conflict until the time of revelation when the solution is complete.
In other words, Judaism is flawed, but Christianity solves the flaw of Judaism. However, Christianity is flawed, but the Way of the Story solves the flaw of Christianity by completing it, not changing it. The only flaw of Christianity was that there was no other formal religion to connect to, but the Way of the Story provides that. The Way of the Story is not flawed either. It is perfect. Utlimately diverse and ultimately unified. Non-personal, and totally personal. It is the science of religion, not the faith of religion, and like science, it is the foundation under which faith stands securely upon to reach greater heights of the imagination. Science is the strongest base civilization can have, the most secure, stable, and reliable foundation, but faith is the perfect plan to build on top of the foundation beacuse it is limitless, boundless, and ultimately good. Science builds upward with faith, creates a structure simulating the heavens in a way we can understand, but faith goes even beyond that, and if a time comes when some giant finishes school, stands up, and his head busts through the dang ceiling— then we need to raise the roof. That requires science, the stable, secure, and reliable materials of physical nature that construct real buildings and property.
So… that is what the Way of the Story is—spiritual science. That is not unfamiliar to Hindi mystics either and many eastern spiritual professionals will be familiar with the work, nor is it unfamiliar to Christian theologians who study works like what I believe Thomas Aquinas writes about though I am not familiar with his work personally. Anselm does similarly when he writes about the subject. It is a logical way of building fact upon fact upon fact of spiritual concepts that requires a good memory, creative imagination, and reliable intuition to leap gaps of unknowns that are beyond physical reality, but it is a form of science nonetheless. To that end, theology may be both an art and a science, just like many other formal higher education programs of study depending on your preference. I myself am primarily of the “arts” persuasion, but I don’t turn my nose up at science and have great respect for the manner of thinking.
The basic premise the Way of the Story is fairly simple and most people won’t have a problem understanding this: there are stories we tell for entertainment, teaching, and cultural memory that are both fiction and non-fiction, and these are true, good, important, and widely popular media. Then there are stories we tell of a divine purpose that have a significance that transcends life and death and people will in fact live or die by these stories depending on what they believe. These stories are immensely powerful resources that provide nourishment in our daily lives as essential as bread and water, but also enjoyment as delightful and refined as wine, mead, and beer. Those again are highly symbolic of the inherent danger that enjoying them includes, which is intoxication. The Stories of the divine purpose are very much like that, immensely enjoyable, can eliminate inhibitions or limits of potential, but can also be intoxicating from a minor barely imperceptible degree to a totally stupefied and delirious ecstasy of incomprehensible language and spontaneous dance!
The first area of stories, the more common, safe, entertaining, and popular sort are far less of a risk or concern, which is why they are often so popular. They are easier to enjoy without risk and are often very rewarding, but not nearly as rewarding as the other kind. These are like sodas and juice compared to wine and beer, and most adults enjoy soda and juice even more often than they do wine and beer. However, even if a child wanted to drink beer like their dad, they typically are not allowed to go to the store and buy some on their own because of the inherent dangers associated with drinking that could cause harm to the self or others, and thus they are controlled substances to a certain extent. Common religion for the public which is popular, like Christianity, Islam, Judaism, Hinduism, and Buddhism, are more like the typical alcohol sales you find in most nations.
They require adult verification, are limits to how they can be enjoyed, but are relatively unmonitored in use and not a problem for most people. Sometimes they are a problem, and that is a problem, and those people need help, but that does not mean all alcohol or religion needs to be done away with. The problem is not the alcohol, it is the addiction, which is not only limited to alcohol and can happen with any number of things that are not substance dependent either. However, alcohol is involved and should cooperate to protect consumers from abusing it, as should the prevailing religion if there is a problem of abuse in its culture. Neither alcohol nor religion are produced and made accessible to harm the consumer or be a problem—they both exist for enjoyment, goodness, and happiness, so there should never be a problem with that kind of cooperation.
Now… some substances require far more control than alcohol, such as opiates, morphine, and prescription drugs that can be potent powers of healing or poison. These require more control for people’s safety because of how easily they can lead to abuse, misuse, and problems that affect everyone, not just the person who is using them. That is why the controls are needed— to protect everyone who is affected by personal decisions an individual mistakes, not only to protect the individual. Thus things like monasteries exist, as well as clergies, ashrams, temples, etc. and here there are dedicated professionals who have dedicated their lives to the study, understanding, and practical use of the substance— whether it is a medical drug or a spiritual power of absolution and revelation.
In those places clergy often have the most strict controls for themselves, just as doctors do when they handle prescription drugs, but none of that is typically a concern for the common public, because we should be able to trust those professionals to be responsible with what they have made their dedicated profession. This is why there need to be public statements of religious doctrine for a practicing religion. If Judaism is practicing a religion intent of having every male in the world circumcised, that needs to be public because that concerns us. That is like them putting opiates in breakfast cereal and dairy milk to addict the population and get more sales, and that cannot be allowed to happen for obvious reasons. They need to disclose the substances they are using, the tenets of their faith. Then the public can dialogue over the matter along with the professionals who will lead the discussions to determine what the doctrine is that concerns the public.
This is where the Way of the Story comes in. This is not something that is trusted to the general public to have the answer for, just as the the general public is not trusted to have the answer for a vaccine when a pandemic occurs. The public needs to know what is happening, but the expert scientists who manifacture medicine will be the ones making the vaccine, providing proofs why it is safe, and then some other interested people will check their work, and when everyone is sure it is good enough to be used reliably, then it will be distributed to the public who is not required to understand all those technical details.
That is why the Way of the Story needs collaboration with all religious experts to be able to identify the science of the part of religion that involves making the everyday product for the public to enjoy: the Story. There are standards, requirements for quality, prohibited substances, and practices for good taste that can all be identified and systematized into an efficient and orderly study of faith as applied to daily life through storytelling.
For example: why is Baptism important to Christians? A Story is told for that answer. Why do Muslims pray five times in the direction they do? I don’t know that answer, but I do know that there is a Story as the reason (probably). The behavior and pracitces that the faithful remember and pass on generation after generation can be significant for the most important reasons of an expression of faith. However, after two-thousand years or even a few centuries, sometimes the reasons we did something because it was believed to be important change. We no longer use leeches to “bleed” patients who are sick, for example. When there is a problem, the experts should always be willing to cooperate to decide what is best for the people they provide the service of their profession to, and if something is proving to be more harm than was believed to be helping, then that needs to change as soon as possible with what will not harm and actually be helpful. There is no reason to keep that secret.
Consider the science behind the making of a vaccine. Most of that research, data, and analysis is going to be incomprehensible to the common public or totally unimportant to even try to comprehend. Religion is like that too. The only reason that information is kept confidential is for business purposes of monetary and financial concern. Both with medicine and religion, the monetary concern is entierly insignificant and unimportant compared to the concern of the patient or lay-person, and that should never be forgotten. I am happy to allow the business capitalism of medicine and religion both as long as they never forget what is priority in the relationship. That money making cannot be achieved at the expense of the patient, but instead is at the expense of the competition. The patient/consumer/layperson benefits from all the competitive businesses/medical centers/religions but those organizations make the competition pay their expenses, and that’s the way it needs to be. You want my formula? Pay up. You want access to this resource? Pay up. You want to sell your product at my store? Pay up. You want to sell medicine here? Have a license certified by a board our communal government has deemed authoritative to ensure the best interests of the public are met. You want to build a temple here and practice your faith? State what your doctrine of faith is to the public so the Way of the Story can certify you to be good and not evil, or you will be rightfully viewed as a dangerous and hostile threat because of how powerful of a “substance” popular faith is.
Circumcision is allowed in Israel. Fact. Jews can participate in the Way of the Story without compromising my personal beliefs as a Gentile which are against the practice. However, that is not the problem at hand—which is all about the Story of our collective past, present, and future— and any details like circumcision can be worked out by the professionals doing that labor.
The science of religion that the Way of the Story is becomes a foundation that is universally applicable to all expressions of religious Story. Then, any identifiable religions spring forth with their own unique Story relevant to their specific qualities, interests, cultures, beliefs as entirely distinct and individual in their own way. They are not in conflict at the source. The one universal law that all will agree on is this: good is loved, evil is reviled. Do good, reject evil.
There should be no argument about that in the public doctrine, and the public doctrine needs to match the private doctrine even if it is not public or there will be big problems of genocide and total war that is greater than any national interest— a universal faith interest— that will befall those who betray the public by lying about their doctrine.
“Yeah, I’m a devout Scourge Disciple of Bloody Betelgeuse, and my people are moving into your city. We are devoted to our evil doctrine to satisfy the blood thirsty and ravenous hunger of our Lord and will be taking one of your people each week by random to offer as a sacrifice on our altar of death. It’s really nice to watch actually. We sell caramel popcorn and the kids love it. Unless you get chosen randomly of course, but that’s just the way it goes. On the bright side we raffle off the butchered meat after the sacrifice so you can have a barbecue later.” No. Evil is not allowed.
Hark, ye blockheaded Jew fiends of the stiff-neck tribe who are doing “evil”. Is there not a complicated explanation for why you think you need to be doing what you are calling “evil”? Did you not arrive at that conclusion because of some long chain of thoughts and logic that was complicated and complex and complete malarky now that I have revealed something that wasn’t there before? Even without what I revealed to change the situation, the initial chain of thoughts and conclusion is something that “people won’t understand” even if you did your best to teach them because of how naturally genius you have to be to even think on that level, which realistically not all people are capable of?
That kind of genius is very much like the difference between having a giant schlong of porno movie standards compared to that of a modest and humble phallus like most men have as normal—all of us small by comparison. The only way these things differ in this context is that the genius has a certain part of their mind that is exceptionally large, whereas the giant schlonged ones have a certain part of their body that is exceptionally large. In both cases, the size is not what matters to the ultimate goal because neither the mind nor the body can do what is necessary to satisfy the true love that is a maiden’s deepest, darkest desire most secret within the sacred heart of her mysterious and unknowable inner self; desires of divine darkness most powerful and dangerous to us all if not satisfied in a timely manner.
That fearsome threat to all reality, existence, life, and creation, including the maidens themselves whom within abides this element of true love that is pure darkness of perfect chaos, is only satisfied by what is entirely spiritual as an expression of male true love and neither of the body nor the mind. Entirely from the soul of man, that force of being is manifest from the freedom of his will and springs forth from within man’s deepest, darkest depths of inner self as the ultimate power of eternal light— the very same which is theorized scientifically to have brought the known universe into being— and is most radiantly glorious with brilliant divine illumination found only at the peak of man’s most unattainable heights of ambition. There, the access to this power is guarded most secret and securely within the sacred temple of his righteous divine soul where it is protected because of the danger a god-slaying power has if not used for the singular purpose we are authorized to access it for, which is the satisfaction of the maiden’s true love.
Now, while throughout all the ages that description may seem adequate for most people, the people who are most important in our present age and never insignificant no matter the age are the people who are often not included in such wide-reaching broadcasts. These are the exceptions. The misfits. The outcasts. The outsiders. The ones not like everyone else because of this, that, or something else. We are not your enemy, nor are we evil, nor are we a problem you need to solve unless you ask first how to help or we ask you for help because you aren’t noticing something that doesn’t affect you personally but affects us. Normally we both prefer to get along unnoticed, but if we are noticed that is no cause for terror, hostility, or fear. Be civilized, people!
We are like storybook characters that you are often familiar with, but of a story that is our own that isn’t for your entertainment. Usually in a fiction there are extraordinary situations that bring about an extraordinary life often resulting from or involving trauma, disaster, extreme stress, and other abnormal conflicts. Although those may be veiled in an adventurous spirit, usually the conflict is the type of thing that should not be happening in everyday life, and you shouldn’t have a grudge or envious disposition about their resilience or personal strength for overcoming such a situation.
Sometimes this quality of differentness is not all that epic and exciting as a storybook or fairytale, but still equally applicable to every day normal life for most people. My point is that although my descriptions of the spiritual nature of true love between man and woman are described as relational to man and woman. Those are gender identities, not biological requirements. I believe it is just as possible for a maiden born female to have the spiritual power of male true love and a man born male to have the spiritual power of female true love.
True love is good, no matter how dangerous, powerful, and threatening it may seem, so please do not make it difficult for people who are engaging in true love to be together, even if they do not match your ideal image. When true love happens, everyone wins. Even everyone other than the lovers themselves. I’m including this explanation here hopefully to be able to thwart any Negative Nancies and Dewey Downers who are trying to rain on the true love party in the future and instead improve their disposition so they can have fun with everyone.
Before I digressed into the magical and mystical nature of true love, the point I was laboring to make was that there is a reason to what the Jews are doing that causes them to feel it necessary to cloak what they are doing under the illusion of “evil” while the reason in fact remains good, otherwise they never would have done any such thing. People do not do evil because it is a good idea. That is the simplest way I can think of to state how profoundly incompatible good and evil are.
Now… where was I…. before my lovely Honey Yummy Princess Panty Pie graced me with her lovely voice on the cellularized telephone *ahem*:
Although I know you to be faithless and I chastise you into obedience of faith, you know me to be ever faithful, eternally patient, abundant in boundless mercy, and immutably unchanging in those ways despite the most egregious sins you may do against me, even when purposefully evil with the intention to be hurtful in the worst ways.
Do you know why that is true now about me just as it was true when the prophets Elijah, Isaiah, Daniel, and the others of the sacred texts told you about me as though they were me themselves, despite the fact that you know them to be of your number? As your number meaning true sons of Israel, good and faithful in keeping the covenants of their ancestral fathers as was applicable for the time and place. It is because if I, or they, let you do that thing you are trying to do without me, we would all most certainly die horribly and tragically, yourself included and it would not be worthwhile to anyone. Not even to the Devil himself who does not want to come out of darkness to say so because of what would happen if he did, knowing the universal law of good and evil I mentioned before, and I am not going to compel him, because I respect even the Devil’s free will.
Evil cannot be known, or it is quite literally known to be against the law in the most fundamental and significant way, which is why it is always hidden, unseen, in disguise, using a person they possessed as a proxy to act through, etc. Don’t be surprised if people who you thought trusted you suddenly testify against you if they learn you are evil when they see the dead bodies of your victims in your basement by accident when fetching a baseball that flew over the fence on a summer afternoon. Also, at the same time, and just as true, if I didn’t let you do that thing, you most certainly would do it just because I didn’t allow it to be possible.
… let that sink in for a moment and then move on when ready…
The reason why an illusion of evil is used to veil actions that are believed to be good, is because that reason is difficult to explain, difficult to understand, and difficult to talk about, even among experts of the profession. Reasons like that are immensely complicated with obscure and difficult knowledge from people who are likely long since dead, unheard of in common knowledge, and when being talked about requires the use of fancy words like “homoousios”, “kenosis”, “parousia”, or “transubstantiation”. Words like that wouldn’t be used in normal social situations for you to even be remotely familiar with, but are essential to explain whether the sacrament of eucharistic communion is a particle or a wave and at what time depending on how you are observing the phenomena, while also being changed yourself by the phenomena happening to you into either a particle or a wave depending on how you look at your reflection after imbibing the holy wine and covering one eye to help keep things clear while you ride the bumpercarts.
If you are still having a hard time understanding, try rubbing your stomach and patting yourself on the head while hopping on one foot and singing the alphabet backwards. That kind of rigorous skilled labor of the most difficult sort cannot be expected of regular people because they don’t all attend seminary or pursue doctorates in theological studies to learn why any of it was a good idea or worthwhile to remember in the first place.
However, just because that cannot be expected of all people in the public, does not mean that someone like me, who is concerned as a member of the public, will not be able to understand and convey it into terms of donuts and footballs for the common American nuclear engineer. That will probably be kinda difficult anyway, but some will be able to understand then make it more clear for their relevant social groups and so and so forth until everyone has been informed of the divine doctrinal update for the most part.
That’s all I’m going to say about that.
