We are inclined to think of peace-time as a condition in which nothing particular happens; in which we can put our feet on the mantelpiece and retire into our private lives, leaving the status quo to maintain itself. There is no surer preparation for war. The maintenance of peace requires a perpetual vigilance, because as life goes on and conditions change the balance needs ever fresh movement to keep it stable. In other words, peace is an active and not a passive condition.

Dorothy L. Sayers, in Begin Here: A War-Time Essay (1940), applying entropy to peace.

Frantic signals from outlying portions of her mind began to break down her iron-hard conviction that bad things only happen to bad people.

"The best response to anyone who wants to take seriously Nietzsche's fantasies about savage hunters chopping pieces off each other's bodies for failure to remit are the words of an actual hunter-gatherer — an Inuit from Greenland made famous in the Danish writer Peter Freuchen's Book of the Eskimo. Freuchen tells how one day, after coming home hungry from an unsuccessful walrus-hunting expedition, he found one of the successful hunters dropping off several hundred pounds of meat. He thanked him profusely. The man objected indignantly:

'Up in our country we are human!' said the hunter. 'And since we are human we help each other. We don't like to hear anybody say thanks for that. What I get today you may get tomorrow. Up here we say that by gifts one makes slaves and by whips one makes dogs.'

The last line is something of an anthropological classic, and similar statements about the refusal to calculate credits and debits can be found through the anthropological literature on egalitarian hunting societies. Rather than seeing himself as human because he could make economic calculations, the hunter insisted that being truly human meant refusing to make such calculations, refusing to measure or remember who had given what to whom, for the precise reason that doing so would inevitably create a world where we began 'comparing power with power, measuring, calculating' and reducing each other to slaves or dogs through debt.

It's not that he, like untold millions of similar egalitarian spirits throughout history, was unaware that humans have a propensity to calculate. If he wasn't aware of it, he could not have said what he did. Of course we have a propensity to calculate. We have all sorts of propensities. In any real-life situation, we have propensities that drive us in several different contradictory directions simultaneously. No one is more real than any other. The real question is which we take as the foundation of our humanity, and therefore, make the basis of our civilization. If Nietzsche's analysis of debt is helpful to us, then, it is because it reveals that when we start from the assumption that human thought is essentially a matter of commercial calculation, that buying and selling are the basis of human society — then, yes, once we begin to think about our relationship with the cosmos, we will necessarily conceive of it in terms of debt."

- David Graeber, from Debt: The First 5,000 Years, 2011.

Religious =/= Christian

I am a Heathen, someone who has studied religion in college and is actively, deeply engaged in a non-Christian religion.

Christianity is not all religions. If you mean Christian or Christianity use those words. Not Abrahamic, not Judeo-Christian (the use of this term is inaccurate, and erases the large gulfs of theological and cultural differences between Christian and Jewish religions and cultures), not "religious".

I am a Heathen. I believe in, worship, and in some cases, work for various Ginnreginn, which is a word meaning Mighty/Holy Powers, and I use to mean the Gods, Ancestors, and vættir (spirits). I am religious. I have a hearth cultus I keep with my family and communities, and have a rich religious and cultural life.

If you are talking about being ex-Christian, critiquing Christianity as an institution, critiquing Christian theology, or making comments towards or on Christian communities, please be clear about it.

It's inaccurate and poor practice rhetorically, politically, and religiously to cast the issues of Christian religions and communities on everyone else. It adds nothing useful to dialogue or discourse if you cannot be bothered to be specific with regards to issues around Christianity or any other religion or religious topic.

Blanket condemning all religions because of Christian religions, history, actions, theology, politics, etc is not only supporting Christian hegemony and supremacy, it also denies every other religion and culture their own unique voices, theologies, ideas, and culture concepts. Likewise, condemning all religions in the name of "rationality" and "logic" is just supremacy by different means.

If you are an adult with a brain functional enough to operate in society, you are then completely responsible for the veracity of your worldview. Don't believe things because they align with your wishes, believe things because they align with the evidence.

"Ah. You've been reading a new book? But not one by Lady Deirdre Waggon, I'll wager."

"No, Because She Is Out Of Touch With Modern Thought. I Laugh With Scorn."

"Yes, I imagine you would do," said Moist thoughtfully. "And I expect Miss Dearheart gave you said book?"

"Yes. It Is Entitled Why Men Get Under Your Feet, By Releventia Flout," said Gladys earnestly.

And we start out with the best of intentions, thought Moist, find 'em out, dig 'em up, make 'em free. But we don't know what we're doing, or what we're doing it to.

"Gladys, the thing about books...well, the thing...I mean just because it's written down, you don't have to...that is to say, it doesn't mean it's...what I'm getting at is that every book is--"

He stopped. They believed in words. Words give them life. I can't tell her that we just throw them around like jugglers, we change their meaning to suit ourselves--

He patted Gladys on the shoulder. "Well, read them all and make up your own mind, eh?"

"We have taken a wrong turning and come to a wrong place," said Father Brown, looking out of the window at the grey-green sedges and the silver flood. "Never mind; one can sometimes do good by being the right person in the wrong place."
