Modern Neo-Pagan cults and the destruction of civilisation
In one of history’s ironic movements the various cults of modern Atheism and Materialism, owe their genesis to the Catholic Church. The scepticism which informed William of Ockham and others in the 14th century, and Descartes in the 17th century, and many contemporary Catholics, led to the view of life as a mechanical operation. This concept is the basis of Newtonian mechanical physics. This philosophical premise of design invention, developed the metaphysics of Deism which is the belief in an immanent intelligence much akin to a watch maker (Paley, 18-19th century) who designs the complexity of the object (and universe) and then quietly withdraws, allowing the processes within the object to run their course.
It is of course a small step from that premise (mechanistic design) to offering ‘proofs’ that an immanent intelligence is itself unnecessary to create the objects and artifacts (composite objects) of existence. Natural laws could be discovered to account for the creation of complexity and the universe, a position put forward by Dawkins, Hawking and Mlodinow amongst others. This position believes that natural events can lead to the birth of complex life and the artifacts of existence including water, air, the atmosphere, cosmology and ecology. It purports that nothing can create something (Hawking’s bizarre claim that gravity can create life), or that the universe has always existed and has its own teleological development unrelated to divine intelligence.
The complete rejection of Neo-Platonic and Aristotelian philosophy and metaphysics based on physical relations of causes and events, and interactions between objects, and which was the premise of Medieval Scholasticism and science, has led to a complete unmooring of the present from the past. Erased are the complex Thomistic proofs (and those of Kalam the Muslim proof based on the cosmological principle), for God’s existence and his conservation of all objects and their states, which necessitates an active intervention. In place of these intricate constructs the modern age has reverted to the pagan theologies of Parmenides, Democritus or Epicurus, in which life is simply an evolution of mechanics unrelated to an unmoved mover, or a pure act. Hume’s belief that causal relations are by themselves unimportant or based on chance, and not part of the actuality of change or potential undergirds the philosophical metaphysics of abstract modern science and physics. In this view there is no need to explain or understand first causes, or the essence and existence of objects. Given natural laws, many of them yet to be discovered, and surmising that there are layers of natural laws yet to be untangled and understood, this viewpoint states that modern science should pursue the ends of the mechanical philosophy both in the micro context (string theory) and the universal (cosmological laws and patterns).
This current neo-Paganism does not offer much which is historically new. It just goes full circle back to the ancient Greeks. This must be unsettling for the ‘progressives’ and those who believe in endless ‘progress’ or development. It appears that the metaphysics which describe and guard-rail scientific development, and which explain the abstract mathematics which may or may not actually be relevant, has not proceeded beyond very simple theorems put forward some 3000 years ago. The materialist (matter is the only thing which is important), mechanistic design obsession leads to a disavowal of human exceptionalism, firmly placing the human as just another animal within categories of fauna, small, weak, selfish, all-consuming, and destructive. This end philosophical teleology of human depravity leads to the various neo-pagan cults which assault the Christian Church and seek its complete eradication:
1-Mother Earth worship in the form of ‘warming’ or ‘climate’ from plant food itself a minor trace chemical 0.04% of gas by weight, 95% emitted by the Earth Mother.
2-Totalitarianism as evinced in Gaia Fascism dictates that the human population must be forcibly reduced, to save the planet, including the eradication of husbandry farming and eating of meat. It also demands an end to the ridiculously named ‘fossil fuels’ which are nothing of the kind, given that oil and natural gas are the second most common liquids on the planet.
3-Non-Green Energy, in the guise of bird chopping Wind Turbines and rare metal based solar panels, must replace the hundreds of years of natural occurring and regenerating oil, gas and coal reserves, even as these technologies will never produce more than a tithe of what a modern economy needs to function and destroy the Earth Mother through massive operations to dig out precious rare metals and the destruction of the ecology to erect the panels and turbines. The net effect is to reduce cheap energy and doom people to poverty and death.
4-Totalitarianism as developed by the Rona Fascism, demands that the human must be controlled, monitored and the population forcibly implanted with mRNA and other artifacts which may destroy the genes and immune system of the receiver, for the general ‘health and safety’ of the population.
5-Human sexuality is not a biological but social construct and mental illness, rendered in the Gay, Trans and Gender confusion is now normal. There is no need for families or even to birth young. Heterosexuality is viewed almost as criminal and certainly as selfish.
These neo-Pagan and quite idiotic philosophies are established for a purpose. The end goal is the destruction of much of civilisation and the absolute reduction of the human population. The neolithic rites and rituals around Gaia worship, along with the eradication of Christianity and hetero-normality is of course a key short term objective for the neo-Pagans.
