History

About this community and how I post the comics… Many moons ago, I would ask my Dad to save the newspaper for me everyday so I could read my favorite comic strips. Of course these days you can read your favorite comics online instead of a newspaper, but I love the nostalgia of reading the daily comics. Anyway, one of my favorite current comics is Cyanide and Happiness and I will be posting the daily release from their website (https://explosm.net/) and a an extra or two randoms.

If you could prove “God” existed that’d be lame and boring. The uncertainty is what makes it fun.

The uncertainty is what's caused dozens of wars and oppression. Without which, history lessons would be really boring. This is much better.

Many religions and ideologies are pretty fine with uncertainty.

It's pretty much only monotheism which claims certainty and kills you if you say you have comments about their "facts."

That's because anthropologically, realism is pretty new. The idea of a single objective truth to encapsulate the whole universe was an idea invented by the Romans. And everyone knows what the Romans did to religious diversity in Europe. Most cultures in the history of the world have to some degree acknowledged the subjectivity of perception and the self-contradictory nature of "objective truth".

I'm part of a political movement that opposes Roman/Abrahamic style realism. We believe it's the cause of the crusades, slavery, the nakba, the holocaust, the witch trials, and all of history's other greatest atrocities. True freedom will only come when we are free to perceive differently than those in authority. To live in a different perceptual universe.

The intolerance of narrow monotheism is written in letters of blood across the history of man from the time when first the tribes of Israel burst into the land of Canaan. The worshippers of the one jealous God are egged on to aggressive wars against people of alien [beliefs and cultures]. They invoke divine sanction for the cruelties inflicted on the conquered. The spirit of old Israel is inherited by Christianity and Islam, and it might not be unreasonable to suggest that it would have been better for Western civilization if Greece had moulded it on this question rather than Palestine."[7]
