No man can divide and conquer quite as effectively as the ethical "Monotheistic God" can. Look at how exceedingly well "Ethical Monotheistic God" has conquered for his kingdom right across the globe, through the religions that originated in the mid east, a multitude of beautifully organized NATURALLY formed indigenous cultures. Look how much more wonderfully integrated and balanced these cultures, who have existed for thousands of years on their own, have become since "God" has enacted his astoundingly magnificent ethical kingdom into their hearts - all across the globe. It is by far the best testament to his abundantly overflowing love and respect for the diversity (of cultures) he himself has ordained eons ago.
Just to clarify are we talking about the same cultures I think we are?
There are only two ways to build and sustain a large and complex society. The first is oppression and slavery. The second and far harder path is to build a free society.
From wiki the following snippets:
44,000 years ago Australia separated from Papua New Guinea...Aboriginal Australians one of the oldest living populations in the world and possibly the oldest outside of Africa, confirming they may also have the oldest continuous culture on the planet...the Aboriginal peoples have occupied the same territory continuously longer than any other human populations... Australia was isolated for a long time from the rest of Southeast Asia, and remained untouched by migrations and population expansions.
This information suggest to me these cultures (more than 400 distinct Australian Aboriginal peoples) came a god damn long way on their own, without the interference of the Christian West.
But now, we see this, also from wiki (under Aboriginal Australians) :
Aboriginal Australians have disproportionately high rates of
severe physical disability, as much as three times that of non-Aboriginal Australians, possibly due to higher rates of chronic diseases such as diabetes and kidney disease.
One study reports that Aboriginal Australians are
affected by a large number of infectious diseases, particularly in rural areas. These diseases include strongyloidiasis, hookworm caused by Ancylostoma duodenale, scabies, and streptococcal infections
Another study examining the psychosocial functioning of high risk exposed and low risk exposed Aboriginal Australians aged 12–17 found that in high risk youths, personal wellbeing was protected by a sense of solidarity and common low socioeconomic status. However, in low risk youths, perceptions of racism caused
poor psychosocial functioning. The researchers suggested that factors such as racism, discrimination, and alienation contributed to physiological health risks in families belonging to ethnic minorities
Aboriginal Australians suffer from
high rates of heart diseaseDue to the complex nature of the
alcohol and domestic violence issue in the Northern Territory, proposed solutions are contentious
Modern Aboriginal Australians tend to have nutritionally poor diets, especially in rural areas where higher food costs drive people to consume cheaper, lower quality foods. The average diet contains too many refined carbohydrates and excessive salt, while lacking fruit and vegetables
It seems to me the Christian West did a tremendous job in fucking up these intracately formed, finely balanced, NATURAL cultures.
