Worth pointing out that the winners of history to date would have all the money, and the rich in New York and London - the twin poles of the real world - are Protestant.
They wrote the history books that were distributed first and so widely that general people consider a whole lot of tosh that is plainly idiotic.
You need to have been a Catholic Scot listening to a Protestant Scot with a German last name call the American treatment of the Indigenous barbaric.
I’m looking at it through an evolutionary lens. How evolved are we today, what’s the arc of our development and what that means.
Right now I see the final push to rewrite our foundational documents, arm the disaffected, and destroy the more evolved in the name of the maintenance of the power of the rich. Sounds like Reformation II, to me, and these people are blood relatives of those that perpetuated the last.
I don’t believe the RC church was policing the sheds of inventors and holding back the intellect of such a diffuse congregation. I think the rich became a lot richer and decided they’d have a Bible of their own. The rest was messaging and money.
