Welcome To My Kingdom

Law Of The State

If i was going to build my own civilization, these would be the Laws concerning knowledge and belief.

The Four Principles Of Being
I believe that purpose, dignity, moral truth, and the promise of eternal happiness is what people need and want. These are what i call the 4 principles of being. I believe these concepts are the most fulfilling ideas in reality. I believe that a human being should only seek and teach those principles that will fulfill us as living persons.

Naturalism
Naturalism as a belief teaches us that life is ultimately without objective purpose, meaning, moral truth, and values. Such a belief is not positive, and does not fulfill us as living persons. There is no evidence for it, and therefore, it is an “unnecessary threat” to human dignity. It is not a practical belief for human beings to have. Because of the immediate and potential damage it will and does cause to humanity, naturalism should be a forbidden subject in human knowledge. It should remain forbidden until empirical proof of it is shown. Any illegal teaching of naturalism would be seen as a threat to human civilization. You would be a threat to human fulfillment and the four principles of being, and would be punishable by either imprisonment or exile.

Mere-Religion or State Religion.
I believe that the existence of God, so far as it relates to the four principles of being, ought to be presupposed by all human institutions of knowledge and ought to be taught as “true” by force of law. Only in this concept that we call God do we find justification for the production of more people. All parents would be under the obligation of law to teach there children that God exists. This does not mean that there should be only one religion. I argue for a “Mere-religion” which incorporates all existing beliefs, so long as they do not contradict the 4 principles of being. Mere religion would enforce upon other religions nothing more then what would relate necessarily to the 4 principles.

Id like to see all your responses, because i would truly enforce these laws if i had the power.
 
Not scary at all to me.

I can’t resist saying though that I think that since the fuedal system and the monarchies ( the very state, its leaders, choosen by God, or by accident of birth if you prefer. ) went into steep decline 200 years ago the idea of man himself as arbiter of creation has completely permeated…well, everything. The contemporary secular state is merely its foremost manifestation.
We have made ourselves Gods. Though of course we don’t call it that. And it is so ubiquitous that, for example, it doesnt even occur to otherwise decent people that a polygraph test is a rank obscenity comparable to pornography, because it is tresspass, it is rape, of what was always God’s and the individuals exclusive sanctuary.
We would control everything, when in truth we cannot even control ourselves.
