					<description><![CDATA[In reply to &lt;a href=&quot;https://didacticmind.com/2019/10/domain-query-if-st-thomas-couldnt-do-it.html#comment-1235&quot;&gt;A.B. Prosper&lt;/a&gt;.

The only thing I really have to add is that its not &#034;our&#034; job as the remnants of Christendom and the European peoples (culture included here, not race) to pick up some White man&#039;s Burden and &#034;help&#034; India

Oh I couldn&#039;t agree more. That is quite obviously a failed strategy at this point and there is no point in trying to help Indians - they are perfectly capable of screwing up their own country on their own, and in fact have done a splendid job of it since independence in 1947.

Now I&#039;ve studied both Christianity and various sorts of Pantheism and the later answers the big questions far more effectively than any Monotheistic sect.

It&#039;s not as good social software for a high order civilization as Christianity but as I noted this is not our problem.

That is a non sequitur if I ever saw one. In the first place, by what standards do you judge the &#034;big questions&#034;? If the question of the existence of evil comes up, for instance, the polytheistic and pantheistic religions do a spectacularly BAD job of addressing it and propose no solutions whatsoever beyond saying that it&#039;s all an illusion.

Furthermore, high-order civilisations come into being precisely because they are able to address &#034;the big questions&#034; more effectively than their rivals. Societies which cannot figure out enduring moral orders that are robust against technological and social change, do not last very long.

If monotheistic religions do not do as good a job of addressing the big questions as pantheistic ones, then by definition a monotheistic religion like Christianity cannot serve as &#034;good social software for a high order civilisation&#034;. It does not logically follow.]]></description>

Let them live as they see fit and we will save ourselves a huge amount of problems. ]]></description>
