The Ancient Greeks feared these gods of the underworld because of their\u00a0<u>associations with the dead and the idea of death itself<\/u><\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Death itself. H\u2019mm.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Religion allows us realize, in our imaginations at least, that we have the gift of immortality\u2014that we, continuing on as a soul with some semblance of ego-intelligence will continue to exist forever (transcending death like a miracle) after our mortal time of old age and feebleness on this planet has played out (our chthonic time that would normally go to the grave and obscurity).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>But might this whole immortality thing be a bit of wishful or megalomaniacal wishing? Personally, I rather like the idea of death really being death\u2014you know no more awareness of any kind\u2014no possibility of pain, no chaos, or political or social nightmares, no more boredom and nasty things like war and disease. Insubstantiality seems an OK pillow to rest on. Oblivion yes.\u00a0Forever might get dreadful. Who knows.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Ernest Becker wrote a book called\u00a0<b><i>The Denial Of Death.\u00a0<\/i><\/b>Here is a video review:<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Why We Fear Death | The Denial of Death by Ernest Becker<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3FVdEWhFp2k&amp;t=98s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=3FVdEWhFp2k&amp;t=98s<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[Note: It is not my purpose here to strenuously argue for or against the reality of God, religion, the supernatural or an afterlife. Suffice it to realize some of us of a more agnostic nature have alternative belief systems\u2014that are \u2018not\u2019 affected, in some way, by demonic delusion. These can be understood in secular terms as this papers presents them.]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>However, EVIL is real, very real, regardless of religious belief, and it can be important to understand this difference? Even if it were limited to the drama of human life and history in the here and now it is still very serious.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>So religious people who believe in traditional religions still have need to understand how non-traditional believers think without ascribing to them labels like heretics or doctrinal-deniers\u2014as if this automatically means they are really under Lucifer\u2019s spell.\u00a0One can think differently without outside influences.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Regardless as to whether there is an afterlife, our life and death is part of our chthonic reality.\u00a0Like other mammals, after death, our bodies disintegrate and eventually turn into other parts and processes of the material universe.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b>Etymonline.com<\/b>\u00a0(internet\u2019s word origin online dictionary) says: Chthonic is the \u201c<i>Latinized form of Greek\u00a0khthonios\u00a0&#8220;<u>of the earth<\/u>, in the earth,&#8221; from\u00a0khth\u014dn\u00a0&#8220;the earth,\u00a0<u>solid surface of the earth<\/u><\/i>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We are talking biology and geology and human burial into the tough turf terrain of ground-breaking after the work of digging with shovels is over\u2014and looking down below.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>According to the typical \u2018atheist\u2019 interpretation on life and ultimate meaning there is no meeting your maker. There are no more realizations our experiences after you stop breathing (even if there are near-death experiences). No more pain (hell) nor pleasure (heaven) which frankly can be a blessing. This includes no supernatural being like angels and devils helping or haunting you. No alternative realms of Heaven and Hell or purgatory.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Instead, death can, and does, mean really being dead\u2014like we often assume happens to other animals. Dust into the wind. And the main point for us in this essay: there is no \u2018supernatural\u2019 Satan or Lucifer messing with human lives with some goal of severing our relations with the Lord or an afterlife. Naturally in this take the Book of Revelations is at best poppycock fiction.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is not to conclude that there is no evil or Satanism. Instead we can look at these realities from different angles. Rather it is \u2018we\u2019 mortal humans who engage in evil and Satanism such as deceit and crimes while we live in this realm. Take it for what it might be worth.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>You might then be asking if this theory is more in line with ancient Greece beliefs versus Judeo-Christianity beliefs. Actually, not so much.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>We want to, and need to be able to discern what is real about evil in connection to politics and religion\u2014including focus on how societies can harbor cultures, and religious license that engage in extra devises of evil while utilizing the faculty of language, such as lies, to either hide evil or to down play its reality\u2014because we are all vulnerable.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Belief in God(s), and other supernatural deities, is a product of the human imagination\u2014which then \u2018projects\u2019 human behaviors and judgements onto imagined Supernatural entities like God. More importantly the manipulation of such beliefs can give excuse to unethical behaviors and judgements since many traditional believers are conditioned never to question all the doctrines and dogmas that might exploit such systems of thought.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The philosophical atheist will claim it is the human imagination which creates religions (sometimes over centuries with many human voices and perspectives handed down as stories both verbally and then more codified by writing).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>[Note: Sorry if this is starting to sound pedestrian. Some people see the word Satanism in the title and are expecting want juicy and wicked drama about drinking blood and sexual rituals, etc. We are going to get to a form of evil that\u2019s pretty substantial\u2014that is the cultural hiding of real evil and crime behind the fa\u00e7ade of religious dogma\u2014as a way to give excuse to what normally is not excusable.]<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Important point: belief is not the same thing as verifiable fact (and frankly it does not matter one iota how many millions and billions of people care to differ).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Bible is a set of stories, some of which try to describe injustice in this world, and trying to provide hope for future justice by the intervention of supernatural power.\u00a0This is why popular religions we are familiar have Supernatural beings that resemble us humans\u2014because we have cravings for meaning, order, truth and a sense of justice.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, our Gods tend to be larger versions of our own psychology.\u00a0Because we humans judge so too does God judge (with surprisingly similar lines of reasoning). Because we humans find ourselves in need of forgiveness and mercy (as we live in communities that require give and take) so too do some supernatural beings, like Jesus, forgive and have mercy onto others. Because humans live in tribes and communities so too does \u2018our\u2019 chosen God have preference for our respective peoples\u2019 and ways of valuing things. Because we a need, not just to judge others regarding violations, but retribution as well, so too do religions present forms of justice and punishment via God\u2019s precepts.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Anthropologists have a word for attributing our human condition onto deities and fictional supernatural beings. It\u2019s called to anthropomorphize\u2014to\u00a0<i>morph\u00a0<\/i>(shape) like\u00a0<i>anthropos<\/i>\u00a0(mankind), or to attribute human attributes onto other creatures and things, even like English speakers talking in English to their dogs, and Spanish speakers talking Spanish to their gatas (cats). But technically we know these animals do not understand much of what we communicate, as we pretend because eventually, they too understand some verbal cues aligning with other cues.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now one important reality to bear in mind is that most children are \u2018indoctrinated\u2019 into their religious belief systems early on, and often enough equally for their cultural beliefs too, that is before they develop critical thinking skills\u2014and therefore their overall presiding moral orientations are formulated without the sophistication of separating out the irrational and the unwholesome. Here is one example of children early on being programmed:<\/p>\n<p><b><i>Palestine Talks: How Israel\u2019s education system brainwashes children &#8211; Part 1<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SRbAKrLfXZw\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=SRbAKrLfXZw<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>If you object to a seeming switch-baiting from \u2018religious\u2019 orientation to \u2018cultural\u2019 orientation\u2014and it is your right to do so\u2014but know others have an equal right to differ. The Judaic religion is not just a religion of moral principles. Arguably it is one of the most culturally specific and chthonic religions of any in existence. It, more than most well-established forms of prominent religion, worships territorial land in the Levant and that seems as \u2018chthonic\u2019 as any religion can get.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Most religious sects of Judaism believe in what essentially turns out to be one long Palestinian land grab starting all the way back to Abraham himself\u2014who was supposedly born around 4000 years ago. Nevertheless, he too was equally a \u2018foreign-outsider\u2019 from Mesopotamia, but who was \u2018magically\u2019 told to migrate west into Philistinian lands because, supposedly, their \u2018real\u2019 God of Noah claimed Abram was destined to start a Great Nation for our entire world\u2014nothing a little megalomaniacal here mind you.

They did not bother to justify their worldly actions with divine appeasement literature. Still it sure seems one way to convince those not so disposed to go along to get along to not question any moral opposition to these kinds of flagrant violence.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After all, even today, how many of us are conditioned or encouraged to think we can question God\u2019s logic or will? Can we humble mortals dare to question an all-knowing Supernatural Creator Highest-Order God?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Historically, our place is on our knees praying. The old Latin meaning of \u2018pray\u2019 via Latin<i>\u00a0precare,<\/i>\u00a0is to entreat or to beg. Beggers can\u2019t be choosers. It\u2019s a bold move to go from begging to demanding a fair accounting of things psychologically, which generally only takes place by a sliver of the intellectually inclined like Barach Spinoza.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Still, from an earlier historical millennial perspective (before mass education and colleges offering courses on logic and philosophy) it would have been easier to adopt a Tribal War God who inadvertently, always rooted for the home team\u2014no matter how bloody the massacre or how lavish a largesse of the spoils to be appropriated within one\u2019s group?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, it was quite the brainwash to convince mortal creatures, who are always of limited awareness, and existing on the naivet\u00e9 of one mere lifetime, that their Godhead and its theology could be so brutal, vicious and possessive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Also, we should note, that not only are we humans territorial but so also are many species of living creature. There is something innate in the mammal to want to dominate or control various lands and territories\u2014even to the point of mass killing. Warfare, and every aspect of warfare (including psychologically lies and brainwash) is not unique to modernity.\u00a0It grows out of the soil and multiples into agricultural societies.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Still, it became quite an accomplishment for adherents of Judaic and Christian belief systems to accept the idea that their supernatural and spiritual God-leader could be as territorial and partial, but in this case of the Middle East, only for \u2018some\u2019 humans\u2014so much so\u2014that not only would he, Adonai, tolerate such violence with headstrong determination for bloody conquests, but he would actively espouse conquest of human death and all manner of war booty. If this is not chthonic then what the heaven is chthonic\u2014that is when God himself is running the Department of War?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>What if your neighbor, three doors down, had a vision that his High God gave him an angelic vision that his family clan had legitimate rights to all the gold in Fort Knox, and if it were found to have been stolen his clan had all manner of supernatural right to smite those who stole it? Moreover, this clan creates a whole religion on the same basis\u2014along with printing presses and church doctrines. Should the rest of society simple go along with this claim of God-ordained treasure appropriately passed on?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Why, frankly were \u2018any\u2019 officious Divine Godheads meddling in the affairs of human conflict, be it internecine or international affairs?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Is it because it seems a masterful stroke of brainwash\u2014that is to justify what are really human, tribal or national affairs\u2014and nothing really being blessed by anything considered Sacred or Supernatural (yet still used as supreme justification)? Seems very much so.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>In fact in a wider discussion, is there anything really moral about the three Abrahamic religions\u2014even if plenty adherents are so prone to partiality and prejudice?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Falsified religious history and dogma, then became more the mechanism for declaring certain rights and properties for certain insider peoples or tribes considered Yahweh\u2019s special favorites. Pretty crafty. Still, it takes a fair percentage of gullible people to go along with such notions.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Some think Niccolo Machiavelli knew the best means of manipulating people. One wonders.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Why, really, was this ancient, Abrahamic religion so concerned with justifying a land grab\u2014even to the point of killing so many millions peoples\u2014as we reflect now from our 21<sup>st<\/sup>\u00a0century hindsight\u2014realizing those lands were truly settled and fought over dozens of centuries before some dude named Noah, and his Arc, landed there in the Mesopotame, to create a psychic stir, later to be recorded as tribal history, almost straight from Central Casting, with his vision of what he and Abram\u2019s own supernatural Godhead had willed as predetermined?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Moreover, it was not just land that tribal war Gods cashiered. Such battles included the sometimes the gaining of cattle, oxen, sheep, precious metals, women, children, and other spoils of war.\u00a0Sounds pretty worldly and chthonic?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Arguably this was before modern day students went to college to study arguments on International Law and Comparative Anthropology.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, primatologists too, are coming to understand warfare within \u2018our\u2019 broader primate species:<\/p>\n<p><b><i>The Chimpanzee Stone Age Just Took a Dark Turn<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=txsojz1Pnas&amp;t=52s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=txsojz1Pnas&amp;t=52s<\/a>\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u201c<i>We used to think that humans were the only species capable of organized war, but we were wrong.

Most animals are left to their own time frame of history to carve out their existence on this biological planet with no benefit of some claim to sacred lore.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Whereas the human mind, with its elaborate capacities and vulnerabilities, can be overwhelmed with religious lore to literally brainwash the na\u00efve to believe in practically anything\u2014once skeptical and critical thinking skills are suspended (or never taught or reinforced).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>For example, Judeo-Christianity uses the\u00a0<u>fear of God<\/u>; the\u00a0<u>fear of God\u2019s judgments<\/u>; the\u00a0<u>fear of God\u2019s abandonment<\/u>; the\u00a0<u>fear of God\u2019s<\/u>\u00a0creation of supernatural angels turned\u00a0<u>rebels or daemons<\/u>\u00a0(whose sole goal, as propagated, is get humans to sin against \u2018their\u2019 God); the\u00a0<u>fear of eternal punishment in excruciating pain of hell<\/u>; etc., to traumatize and proselyte vulnerable beings into believing that which one would not normally believe without all these fear pressures. \u00a0Not to mention all the\u00a0<u>crazy horror stories<\/u>\u00a0in the Book of Revelations.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is head-twisting amount of fear-based psychology. Where are the Psychology and Political Science Departments analyzing these things\u2014that have so much effect on modernity? Frankly it is psychological abuse\u2014after all these centuries?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Why, for example, would the Catholic Church had bothered to carry out their inquisition trials against witches if not for the inordinate amount of manipulated fear? Why would they have tortured and killed innocent people if not for the fact they believed such witches were under the control of Satan and the subsequent damnation of eternal torture of hell? Christianity, for some, is a religion heavily based in fear and paranoia while it preaches love and tolerance.\u00a0It\u2019s a bit schizoid.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><b><i>How the Medieval Church Frightened People Into Obedience<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9sfdAcxRrq8&amp;t=633s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=9sfdAcxRrq8&amp;t=633s<\/a><\/p>\n<p><b><i>7 ways religion traumatizes people<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7HwSGXPKzw8&amp;t=3s\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer nofollow noopener\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=7HwSGXPKzw8&amp;t=3s<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Why, we should ask, did so many people engage in religious wars, or used the excuse of religion for war making, such as various religious sects harboring inordinate fears that they might not be believing in the \u201creligiously-correct\u201d system of beliefs for salvation? One Christian sect at war with a different Christian sect based on doctrinal differences? It was not just academic\u2014one\u2019s soul feared eternal damnation\u2014the exact set of beliefs mattered.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>And salvation from what\u2014from a totalitarian God\u2019s after-life of eternal hell-scape of pain and suffering?\u00a0Did a moral God really need to threaten to punish his creatures so heavily\u2014as eternal punish?\u00a0Even most torture prisons and worldly tyrants like Donald Trump\u2019s friend, Nayib Bukele President of El Salvador, cannot do that.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>How did so many, over so many centuries, come to conclude this was an acceptable form of religious justice? Rather most did not think about it from a larger form of consideration.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Instead of the Bible\u2019s God taking responsibility for how human history and man\u2019s ways unfolded\u2014he blamed his subjects, that he, himself created, when things do not go his way\u2014despite the fact that no human he created is omniscient or omnipotent like God himself, who is supposedly this ultra-impressive.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Therefore, the God of Judaism and Christianity, more or less, almost demands you understand him as a mere petulant and petty tyrant\u2014one not deserving of respect or worship. It is time for humanity to wake up with some clarity on moral sensibilities.\u00a0In fact one could argue there is little that is truly moral in the Old and New Testaments.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Now, 4000 years later, we have Israeli soldiers enterprising with every form of torture and murder imaginable\u2014and even advertising their sadistic crimes on Tiktok and social media.

From a political point of view, it has little to nothing to do with any decent person\u2019s idea of morality, humanity and charity and everything to do with conquest, bloodlust and exploitation.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Whereas, philosophically, we need to ask ourselves what really is evil. Is it not generally that which is perceived as a threat to health or existence?<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Surely, at times there can be something ego-centric or ethno-centric in its perception. Eating a McDonald\u2019s double hamburger may not seem evil to me while licking my chops, but the cattle, whose lives may have suffered unpleasant episodes to create the red-blooded burger meat may have felt threatened and harmed.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>This is not to argue or suggest all is relative and therefore dismissible. Absolutely not. No, many within our human species can agree to ethical and moral principles and we do\u2014such as behaviors we often deem crimes and arrogant violations of humanity\u2014irrespective of religious decree.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>All the evil we really know and ascertain is a reality that takes place here on and within planet earth\u2014and not so much documented elsewhere; and, frankly not really evolving or stirring from elsewhere. Human evil does not require supernatural forces.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Evil empires, in which prominent groupings of people practice evil, and justify their evil with laws and fascist attitudes, are similar to crime and mafia-like enterprises.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Evil cultures can adapt brainwashing campaigns including even religions and media campaigns of lies and censorship, and equally claim to be the eternal victimized party while they are the ones victimizing others.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Listen here Israel!

We know of your long-term and flagrant corruption. We will not allow for your suffocation of our Constitution and Bill of Rights.

Let this stand as a resolve that we \u2018true\u2019 Americans make as an eternal pledge to ourselves. No matter how long it takes we will never succumb to racist and supremacist monsters.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Furthermore, we are not interested in any elitist notion about any one peoples somehow being a light onto the rest of the world. Practice whatever religion you care but do not interfere with the rest of humanity, as if you, and only you, have some special awareness and capacity to direct and control others.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The fact remains that terrestrial land in the Levant has taken on incredible meaning to Judaic lore and religion for many centuries. The city of Jerusalem is considered so sacred, and the land of Israel is hyped as blood-right into the Jewish identity indefinitely. It is all part of thousands of years of conditioning.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Many Jews and Zionists alike cannot separate their culture from those Palestinian parcels of land most modern Jews have not ever previously lived (nor their ancestors even for hundreds of years).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Then when the historical precedent of nationalist movements built in the 18<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0century then suddenly, along with all the alienation they were feeling (no fault of their own of course) in Russia, Eastern Europe and say Germany, etc., they too realized they had to have their supposedly ancient land that their Adonai promised them\u2014even though genetically they currently are very different from the darker peoples living there at the time.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Actually, we should be asking why are the Jews who dominate Israel are so Caucasian or white and act so often like they are European types of people\u2014applying logic and rationality when they choose to.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Some power dons donate money to institutions like colleges and political parties and then use the same money gifting to destroy the democratic values they pretend to honor\u2014such as getting people college presidents fired if they do not kowtow to Zionist shills and other stupid but arrogant billionaires.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Regardless, we will continue and quote from the \u2018many\u2019 modern Jews who have adopted true American values like John Mearsheimer, Stephen Walt, Jeffery Sachs, Max Blumenthal, etc., etc. because ultimately it is not a Jewish Question\u2014rather it is a Torah Question.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Israelis are still quoting from their religious texts to justify the same old land grab that never ends\u2014and going big with some Greater Israel. This justification is ethnocentric in nature and not just for Zionism but the Old Testament or Torah in general.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>People who think Zionism is merely some distortion of a truly sacred and humane religion of traditional Judaism are blindsided by hope and optimism because they are refusing to see the immoral flaws that go back thousands of years straight into the Pentateuch itself.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Apparently there needs to be a new term like anti-Torahism in the sense of establishing a wall of resistance to the idea that old religious laws have much to do with modernity for the world.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Bible of Brutality has seen its day.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>There are plenty books on religion as related to war.
