​Where’s Claire? This is the nuts and bolts of a system of governance.

​Under SK would our taxes be limited to the zakat? Or as trinitarian a would we have to pay non-believe tax?

12:11 PM

​I find it super hypocritical that NPR platformed Tucker.

12:12 PM

​@Eolson-helper SK is all about establishing minimum moral standards.

​@Eolson-helper SK USA would give Americans a flat rate income tax of 20%.

12:13 PM
@Eolson-helper

​Claire- so there are no moral connections to taxes?

12:14 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#2
​@Eolson-helper The Koran does not specify the percentage for zakat but it does for khums ie 20%.

12:14 PM
@Eolson-helper

​Claire- who do you Barry the lead? How libertarian of you! 20% flat tax. I can get on board with that :)

12:14 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
#2
​@Eolson-helper Of course we have to pay taxes to keep government going.

12:15 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism
​#2
​@Eolson-helper SK USA definitely has a political economy that would appeal to most Americans who are not mega-rich.

12:17 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism

​@Eolson-helper Please understand that the jizya under SK USA would be exacted on non-US citizens if they are conquered by the US and do not operate SK.

12:35 PM
@OfficialSecularKoranism

​Did UPS say why?

12:44 PM
@Eolson-helper

​What about the jizya? Those people don’t have freedom of religion because they will have to pay an extra tax.

​Things I disagree with SK #326: registry of dissidents

1:05 PM
@MarkS.-ry7bm

@OOOTLAM
​​Maybe it is time for a correct understanding of God. It's not that hard, it really isn't.

48:23

​​Correct in human terms? Color me skeptical.

48:43

​​@williambranch4283 God is totalitarian, isn't He?

​​@williambranch4283 It should be obvious that those who want to correctly worship the Abrahamic God who forbade idolatry should avoid idolatry. Why is that so hard to understand?

@OOOTLAM
​​Nobody can sum up what Nathan saying then?

@roderickhare
​​I know Nathan mostly by his reputation. I am genuinely enjoying his thoughtful exploration of this subject. Clearly someone who has paid close attention to the example of this man Jesus.

1:05:39
@OOOTLAM
​​@roderickhare So what is Nathan saying?

1:06:46
@OOOTLAM
​​Everyone is talking nonsense, it would appear. And no one can sum up what Nathan is saying?

@OOOTLAM
​​@Smithistory Politics is about government, morality, law, narratives and values.

1:14:00
@OOOTLAM
​​@Smithistory Our laws need to be based on a moral system. Moral systems are religions.

1:14:38
@OOOTLAM
​​If we were being rational, we would choose the best religion for our group.

1:15:04
@OOOTLAM
​​America does not have a functioning moral system but Americans don't seem to want one.

1:20:52
@OOOTLAM
​​Christmas is just Saturnalia a pagan winter festival. Under SK USA Jewish festivals would be celebrated and the Jewish calendar used.

1:21:46
@OOOTLAM
​​Under SK USA things would make sense and people would express themselves clearly. Schoolchildren would learn grammar.

"Monster God"

1:31:00  Are the Abrahamic religions about being guided by divine revelation or pretending you worship Jesus?

1:33:00  Christians can speak any heresy and no one cares. 

1:36:00  If you believe in God, why wouldn't you obey His laws?

1:38:00  "Random villages in Vietnam"

1:40:00  "Abraham could have been a schizophrenic for all we know!"

"There's two [Abrahamic Gods]!"

There is no textual or historical basis in mainstream biblical scholarship or Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions for the claim that two different gods were involved in the story of Abraham and Isaac. [1]

What the Biblical Text Actually Says (Genesis 22)

  • The Command: In Genesis 22:2, "God" (Elohim) tests Abraham by telling him to offer his son Isaac as a burnt offering. [1, 2]
  • The Intervention: In Genesis 22:11–12, "the Angel of the Lord" (Malak YHWH) calls out from heaven and stops Abraham, saying not to harm the boy because the test of faith is complete. [1, 3, 4]
  • The Identity: In classical theology and narrative structure, the Angel of the Lord is not a second, competing deity, but a messenger or manifestation of the same single God (YHWH / Elohim) who issued the initial command. [1]

Why People Might Misinterpret the Story

  • Distinct Voices/Personas: Some readers interpret the transition from a harsh demand for sacrifice to a merciful cancellation as a psychological or moral contradiction, leading some modern commentators to rhetorically ask if God was "only joking" or testing boundaries. [5, 6]
  • Distinction Between Gods and Cultures: Scholars note that the story actually serves the opposite purpose—it contrasts the single God of Abraham with surrounding Canaanite or pagan deities who routinely demanded child sacrifice (such as Molech), showing that the God of Israel rejects human sacrifice and provides a substitute ram. [7, 8, 9]
  • Gnostic or Alternative Views: Minor, fringe esoteric or gnostic traditions sometimes split the Old Testament creator God (the Demiurge) from a higher god of mercy, but this is a later philosophical imposition rather than anything derived from the plain text of Genesis 22.
Would you like to explore how different religious traditions (Jewish, Christian, or Islamic) interpret the meaning of the Binding of Isaac?

1:42:00  What is the plot?

1:43:00  PAUL ALYN interrupts with Psalm 105 and 106.

1:52:00  Why is it a "very cynical move" to infer that God (if indeed He does exist) who made laws for us expects us to obey them?

1:06:00  Western values

I am actually concerned about the West in that it does not have a functioning moral system. The religion of the West is not really Christianity, is it? It is actually liberal democracy because Christendom - a portmanteau word for "a Europe  of Christian kingdoms" - ended in 1918. I say this because three of the Great Powers ie the Austrian Empire, the German Empire and the Russian Empire became republics. While the Austrian and German Emperors both abdicated, the entire Russian Royal Family were exterminated by the Red Guards.

My thesis is that the moral and political operating system of the West is not even Christianity any more but liberal democracy.

I fear Western governments have not tidied up their rooms of political theory in centuries and now don't want to have a real dialogue about it. 

That is because they do not want US citizens knowing where the complete list of their unalienable rights is to be found or arguing with their ruling classes about anything at all.  

As for Muslims, sadly, they do not appreciate the difference between being a monarchy and being a constitutional republic. 

But then neither do the British or the Israelis.

17:00  The countries that most persecute Christians are African countries with valuable resources Western imperialists want to loot who see Christians as evidence of Western imperialism.

18:00  The Chinese who want spirituality choose Christianity because they prefer not to give up pork and gambling.

25:00  Vested interests

26:00  We must be mindful of people trying to waste our time and distract us with BS ideas like authenticity, sincerity, profilicity etc.

31:00  Good is what God commands, evil what He forbids. That's how we know what we are supposed to do.

32:00  Deliberately confusing jargon: What a tangled web we weave when first we practise to deceive.

39:00  God is divine law, but most people calling themselves Christian are functionally atheist - even if they remember to keep saying Jesus a lot - and don't give a damn about God's laws. 

To say God is neither logical and moral is surely blasphemy.

56:00  Chad probably just wants to be a member of a friendly society. My  proposal for an American Association of National Noahide Clubs should fill the gap in the market without requiring Americans to believe Jesus is God which is offensive to Americans who find the idea absurd, as Thomas Jefferson did. 

59:00  The problem is matriarchy, but you won't say it because the word is still new and niche. The problem of the matriarchy can be solved by restoring the patriarchy, but you are too afraid of your wife to say that, probably. I have a few ideas about how to make that point in a reasonable and morally satisfying way, but you have blocked me from joining your streams as well as disabled me from commenting under my primary account. 

Perhaps you want to get there in your own sweet time, which is why you prefer to platform people who say they don't know rather than hear it from me who says she does.
