Directory Summary
In these
Adelphiasophism pages, AskWhy! supports a belief in
natural religion against the
invented patriarchal religions. The old natural religions
honoured Nature as a Goddess who acted as a
mother to everything. Patriarchal believers labelled it Paganism and drove it into extinction. Adelphiasophist NeoPaganism returns to the
principles of Nature religions without copying them.
Science is the method of discovering the
wisdom of the
Goddess Nature, and Adelphiasophism rejects putting the clock back to primitivism. Science has
upheld the principle of Nature as a
mother Goddess.
Patriarchal belief made humans
Lords over Nature, and set humanity
against Nature in an
immensely damaging battle. We live in the
womb of the Goddess, and
harm her at our own peril. We must not fight Nature but must
co-operate with her.
Symbiosis not warfare is
our salvation. Our bible is one sentence—
we must not offend the earth directly or indirectly.
The Wisdom of Carl
Carl Sagan writes that many pseudoscientific and new age beliefs come from dissatisfaction with conventional values and perspectives and are really a kind of scepticism. Thus David Hess (Science and the New Age) argues that “a large number of sincere people are exploring alternative approaches to questions of personal meaning, spirituality, healing, and paranormal experience in general.” What these sincere people do not realize is that their “alternative approaches” are not new at all—they are seriously old hat. It is science that is new, only 300 years or so old, yet has taught us more in that historically short time than religions and “spirituality” have taught us in the whole of the existence of humanity. Perhaps what they want is science to be put to more beneficial uses instead of to destruction, but that is a social choice, not a scientific one. Science is subject to governmental and corporate decisions, and these are what new age believers, and scientific critics in traditional religions too, ought to be changing. It is too political for pseudo mystics.
