Religion is politics, and I think the abrahimic religions were the most succesful propaganda of all time. I'm talking regarding humankind and its relationship with the test of nature. Religione got turned into a weapon against the actually creations of divinity

Yes but the first written stories are most probably oral myths handed down for generations before finally being writ
That is just an illusion, those rules never apply, it's just a playpen for us civilians but death is factory made and unlawfully mass distributed to the whole world mostly by those who are supposed to uphold these "rules". It's childish idealism to truly believe what you say, in my opinion
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
So the biblical god was just an amalgamation of stories from the bloody reign of some possibly prehistoric warchiefs, it seems to me
You're not alone, it's just that we're all separate by invisible barriers, sometimes natural, like time and space, but not of them artificial, like money and walls and institutions and jobs.
We were never meant to live this isolated, none of us. Humankind has always been a community effort, and today our loneliness is a tool for our predators. It might not be a cheerful thing to read, but to me, knowing that this loneliness is a shackle to hold our power, from people that KNOW and fear we are always one step from realizing what is being taken from us, fills me with determination and a twisted sense of pride. At the very least, it makes the feeling of being completely responsible for my sadness go away
They patriarchy erased most matriarchal myth and cultures during the dawn of sedentarism
Except the political persecutions continyally escalate REGARDLESS of violent political actions. Tell me, how many political murder of this calibre have there been in the last 20 years in the "civilized" or rather colonized global North?
You are extremely dishonest in interpreting the message from the one user who is excercising way too much patience with you. You should wash your mouth when you speak about MLK when spouting for your moralism.
Also, unfriendly tip: if you're gonna critizice people for being condescending to you, you shouldn't start your argument being condescending towards everyone a priori.
Finally, you have no moral high ground, your "non violence" apparently only applies to popular opinion and not state or politicians actions. Also, citing the French revolution as an example is woefully reductive and shows that maybe you should dust off your degree and read just a bit more.
Moralism did not best fascism
No state can solve the States' paradox.
If we do not shed this cocoon we'll rot inside of it
Everything is political
The word yoy might be looking for is "ideological"
