Humanity & Religion: Do We Standardize The Unwhitelisted?
Vittorio Giurifiglio replied to a topic in General
Christianity survived 2016 years, and has met a different Continent, Why would Aliens crush Abrahamic faiths? No where in the Creation myth (Which is regarded as a allegorical by the Catholic Church) Does it say Humans are the only form of life in the Galaxy, Maybe Judaism with it's chosen people doctrine. 1000 years have passed and no majour Pagan Pantheons have sprouted up, Unless you count Sikhism which is an Ethnic religion. -

This is Sarcasm right? To such a degree you wouldn't even believe it. Part of the reason why I rag so heavily on BS12's old religious lore, written by a guy I know, is because it's home to all the absolutely shit tropes that I wish Aurora can avoid, re: religion. This is so boldly retarded that I am fucking shocked that a human being typed any of these words. To start: Unitarianism. This would never happen under any circumstances and should absolutely never be thought about as a legitimate thing. Technologism is retarded. Most cyborgs are essentially slaves and you can count on an increase in anti-AI rhetoric in the future. This last one is actually really fucking hilarious because it's implied that Dragon Jesus Scientology is considered a legitimate choice of religion. Oh, and about two whole characters followed this religion, one of them being an admin and both of them being quite good friends. Read this. I'll hold off on pointing out things that are wrong with it, because the body of text itself serves as proof. Anyways, avoid literally everything I quoted above. CANCER...Anyone who has any understanding of the differences between Abrahamic religions would know that. it was impossible... -

And on which Creeds would be the majourity in the Sol Alliance? Most obviously Christianity for the sheer location of the original Colonizers, and the subsequent joining of them with less developed nations in Africa and South America, Islam would most probably be the second largest, perhaps Hinduism. -

Well since my posts keep getting overlooked here. I don't see there being a primary religion, but likely there would be both. Islamic religions will never see eye to eye with Catholicism or Orthodox. But i could see modern day majority religions being merged into one religion assuming they're similar. So Orthodox, Catholicism, and Christianity could merge, while this many Islamic religions merge into one and so on and so fourth. Essentially turning a similar religion with hundreds of branches back into one, potentially less extreme religion. While corporations of Tau Ceti could primarily focus on a Church of Unity, which believes all religions focus on the same entities, just preach differently and for different reasons, for this reason the church would also need to be void of all religious images. Your statement on a Church of Unity is similar in a way to the Baha'i faith. And Islam and Christianity are completely irreconcilably different, Islam denies the Divinty of Christ and his resurrection meaning they reject what makes one Christian. -

This is Sarcasm right? Sorry, I didn't mean to overlook you. I agree, Islamic sects would likely never see eye-to-eye with Catholicism and Orthodoxy, and neither would they see eye-to-eye with Islamic religions. I agree that the Sol Alliance shouldn't be monolithic, but it doesn't rule out one religion being dominant enough to eek out state-sponsorship. State-sponsorship is also a good catalyst for the spreading of a relig ion (generally, not always). And, of course, the legislative legitimization of a religion to the state would by no means make all other religions vaporize. And over 80% of Muslims are Sunni, so I would assume if a sect of Islam were to become state sponsored, it would be that. EDIT: all though it is debatable, I could see a unified Orthodox-Catholic church in the next four hundred years. Relations between the churches following the collapse of the Soviet Union have been exceptionally well. The face of this church is further debatable, as it would likely be a compromise of some sort on a spectrum between the two with Westerners keeping their liturgical traditions and Easterners keeping there's, similar to Greek and Latin Catholic differences today. The Pope would likely be a patriarch with some sort of decreased papal supremecy, yet still higher than merely "first among equals." Very limited chance of that happening, Perhaps but the theological issues would have to be dealt with such as, Transubstantiation Married Priests Filioque Views on Mary And finally the starkly contrasting views of Catholicism and Greek Orthodoxy on the Primacy of the Bishop of Rome An easier merger would be between the Anglican Communion and the Catholic Church -

[Answered] Tajaran Sexuality Views Flipped
Vittorio Giurifiglio replied to moltenkore's topic in Answered Questions
Is your imagination so limited that you can’t come up with an explanation as to why there would be exceptions in a generally conservative culture? Being nothing but conservative makes this culture lack interesting depth which makes it less realistic. It’s actually pretty standard for cultures to be conservative in one avenue and liberal in another; even if overall the culture is mostly conservative. Take America, a country that holds paradoxical stances on nudity. Show one side boob on prime time TV and your show can be pulled, yet on magazine stands everywhere complete nudity is almost common place. On one hand breast feeding is viewed as controversial and on the other more revealing scant clothing is entirely normal (especially in the entertainment sector). On the issues of nudity America can be said to be very liberal at times and then surprisingly conservative in other instances. And in the example of the united states what is seemingly paradoxical actually has intent and meaning behind it; for example in womens/sociological studies there is comprehensive evidence that the country still pushes traditional gender roles with many double standards in favor of the male population. Women are socialized to feel inadequate for using minimal clothing (ie. slut shaming) and inadequate for being too modest (ie. Prude, boring). Both cases are possible because women are objectified under a male gaze considered to be the operational social standard. You see? Sociality is more complex than just “they are conservative”. Being conservative is just one stance a society can take on one issue. Good writing would reflect reality more closely by exploring the possibilities beyond a one faceted, one note, simplified depiction of society. Essentially, good writing goes beyond what you have written; which is boring to say the least but uninspired, reductive, amateurish and dull if I wanted to be less forgiving. Furthermore, during span of the Roman Empire the romans were heavily fascist, nationalistic, militaristic and yet sex and homosexuality was socially accepted as common place. To give another example in feudal Japan and in the military class (ie samurai) Bushido code [which was strictly followed] glorified same sex relationships as the purest form of love and encouraged homosexuality; that is the same feudal japan who was extremely conservative, xenophobic, hierarchical, strictly ritualistic and highly resilient to social reform. My point, which hopefully you are able to grasp, is that societies are complex phenomena that employ a myriad of explicit/implicit norms that come to exist for several unique reasons. So while it is true that societies can be like the one you’ve written, such a society is by no means the median permutation available of all the different ways that a society can develop, let alone a common development. The only reason your saying it doesn’t make sense for the Tajara culture to accept a few liberal notions is because you either incapable or unwilling to realize a more realistic or interesting lore. The monotone in your writing can be summed up simply by saying “think Russia”. Bravo. 10/10 It was no fucking okay to be gay in Rome, it was only acceptable to fuck young boys BECAUSE they sounded and looked like women, gays didn't get married, you'd be shamed if you were gay, you degenerate. Also quoting gender studies 0/10 -

They do, because we had a vote. Atlas was second on the number of votes, and for some reason formed the coalition with the winning part, instead of the opposition. They literally could not stand the opposition, And they held a bit in common with GAIA, more strategic
