  • I don’t think monotheism was a big thing before. I just suspect that early religions were created with a respect and fear of nature and that the deities served as a foil for all the forces of nature around humans. Our way of life was to live among divinity, and in reverence to it. Then monotheism arrives, alongside so called “civilization”, sedentarism allows dominion over nature, and a new philosophy comes. This philosophy is a dogmatical undermining of the creative forces of nature (mostly represented as femme) in favour of a pragmatical and extractive view (“you will not have any god other than me”) allowing for a disrespect of natural resources that a direct connection to our current climate change problem.

    It was a direct attempt at removing the ancient values of coexistence with nature, starting with oppressing femmininity and undermining what they historically and spiritually represented.

    I am not throwing out monotheistic religion, I am not throwing out religion at all. You are right in saying I’m “exchanging” one religious view from another, but my feeling is that the original meaning of spirituality has been tainted by ancient propaganda.

    This is all speculation, I’d be lying if I said otherwise, but in seeing the powers that be today and the way they act, and think…it just all seems so convenient to say that humanity is “naturally” inclined to fuck up their land. I do not believe that. I believe that humanity is naturally inclined to be gullible, and that someone made us believe we were above nature and should destroy and make violence to it, exactly what we are taught to do with women and feminility in general.

    I just don’t believe it is a coincidence
