#Democracy is #Abrahamic equality #karma; The line between functional and idealistic is still terrifyingly fuzzy
Never threaten a #farmer's flock of #sheep; the #existential fear of the sheep could enable the farmer to kill you as a #threat

Oy, the #Abrahamic will #alienate the #minority; I know I'm not the only one to know that...

Note to self: #karma is not a new way to smite people with God's disapproval; it's generational, sociological cause and effect

It isn't a problem with their #race or #culture, it's the same ol' #abrahamic #karma fitted to a social #scale we all lived within not long ago

Ultimately, the most #disillusioning thing about #AI is that #Abrahamic narratives are incorrect when they proclaim #OneTruth; in fact, #truth is perception

@rlux it's really just the same ol' bifurcated #Abrahamic #karma, ain't it ...? 😉️ ...but projected differently

the concept of a #CasteSystem is, itself, #existentially threatening to the #Abrahamic because it so violates a basic tenet of equality in their narrative #slavery #sexism #racism #civilrights

You don't have to let the #Abrahamic infantilize you, it's their favorite way to enable their government to suppress you as they struggle to protect the validity of their #existential narrative ... Have empathy for those lower in the #CasteSystem ... #Enlightenment is not automatic

When I hear, "So and so deserve to be excluded from our group due to their inability to abide by our strict code of #ethics", I'm thinking "#Abrahamic #karma is always about forming #solidarity in an #exclusive group at the cost of those we #existentially fear" .... Scaling #society sure is tricky #business

What’s really #weird about #Islam is that it is an #Abrahamic #religion, but the #Arabs are not an Abrahamic people.
What do I mean by this?
If the Arabs were an Abrahamic people, they would have venerated #Abraham as an #ancestor for thousands of years, long before the seventh century.

Interested in separating #fact from #fiction in the #Bible?
Much of the #Abrahamic biblical texts have confirmed historical basis. Many #biblical figures are confirmed with external sources.
Of course what the #church(es) did with the Bible in the following millennia is a different story.

More on the importance of religion in how societies & moralities are built here. The case I often make myself is made also:
To become Western, Educated, Industrial, Rich and Democratic, we really had to go through a long pipeline of first #abrahamic religion to give us the axis of destiny, and then from catholicism to protestantism to move us to the primacy of intent and the individual.
Trusting the stranger is at the root of what enables large-scale co-operation.

Nowadays, if you said #God told you to kill your child, you'd be thought mentally ill. Why revere Abraham?

Very happy to hear about the construction of this multi-faith "Abrahamic Family House" in #AbuDhabi that has built into it a #mosque, a #church and a #synagogue
In the midst of so much hate and misunderstanding in this region, it is such a hopeful sign to see things like this being built.
