Ethical Christianity, mistakes, and rising again

Let’s talk about Ethical Christianity.

Is it a mistake to have been born a Jew?

If we were living in 1942 in East Europe and West Asia, it certainly would seem that way.

Is it a mistake to have been born a gay?

If we were living in 2016 in certain parts of the world (or 1942 Eastern European and Western Asian countries controlled by Nazi Germany), it certainly would seem that way.

Is it a mistake to have been born a spastic? In most parts of the world, in 1942 or 2016, it certainly would seem that way.

Does God make no mistakes, as Lady Gaga says?

It is hard to believe, some say.

I believe that God makes no mistakes. The racists, homophobes, and bigots are wrong.

I am what I am.

“If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first.”

‭‭John‬ ‭15:18‬ ‭NIV‬‬

http://bible.com/111/jhn.15.18.niv

I will not cease to do what is right.

Ethical Christianity

My religion is Ethical Christianity. For me, it is not enough just to be a Christian. One has to think about good things. One has to speak about good things. One has to do good things.

What is a Christian? Someone who says so? A cruel dictator claimed to be a Christian. He murdered innocent Jews, gays, and disabled people. He is not an Ethical Christian. He did not practise Ethical Christianity.

I will not digress into specifying who will go to heaven and who will go to hell. That is inconsequential for most of us.

If somebody’s religion says that Group X of people are going to hell, there will likely be hate crimes committed against Group X.

What horror awaits you if you happen to be born as Group X, according to your genetic code.

We can change.

The feel good factor of condemning the “other” to be cursed or go to hell can only last so long. Most people will be troubled by their conscience. They should not be cursing or condemning people to hell so easily.

However, power struggles are a different ball game. When an evil person wishes to gain power, he can create fear by openly condemning a vulnerable group of people. This group should not be able to defend itself. The evil person can write history and propaganda cursing and condemning a particular race, sexual orientation group, physically or mentally challenged people.

People start to assume that what they find disgusting, God also finds disgusting. For example, people may find disabled people disgusting. Don’t get me wrong. I’m not saying that disabled people are disgusting. Without ethics, people are likely to shun or despise inferior people. That’s life. The strong bully the weak. Some do it subconsciously. Some do it without any qualms. There is a psychological basis for this. Have you ever seen an android or a life sized doll? You fear it because it looks so human-like and yet it is not human.

The brain has trouble pigeonholing. It fears the unknown. Fear leads to hate.

Brothers and sisters, this should not be so. Let us love one another, as God has loved us.

A song about rising again:

YouTube: Zootopia Try Everything (youtube.com/watch?v=QoXPVSSHzs8)

Shakira – Try Everything 全力以赴

Oh oh oh oh oooh [x4]

I messed up tonight, I lost another fight/ 我搞砸一切 又再次落败
I still mess up but I’ll just start again/ 陷入困境 但我将重新开始
I keep falling down, I keep on hitting the ground/ 总是失败 一次次跌倒
I always get up now to see what’s next/ 我会重新站起 面对全新的明天

Birds don’t just fly, they fall down and get up/ 鸟儿在翱翔前 曾经无数跌落天际和重新展翅
Nobody learns without getting it wrong/ 不经失败怎么会懂成功的甜美

I won’t give up, no I won’t give in/ 绝不放弃 绝不放手
Til I reach the end and then I’ll start again/ 直到终点 再重新启程
No I won’t leave, I wanna try everything/ 不轻言放弃 全力以赴
I wanna try even though I could fail/ 就算可能失败 也要竭尽全力
I won’t give up, no I won’t give in/ 绝不放弃 绝不放手
Til I reach the end and then I’ll start again/ 直到终点 再重新启程
No I won’t leave, I wanna try everything/ 不轻言放弃 全力以赴
I wanna try even though I could fail/ 就算可能失败 也要竭尽全力

Oh oh oh oh oooh Try everything/ 喔喔喔 尝试一切
Oh oh oh oh oooh Try everything/ 喔喔喔 竭尽全力
Oh oh oh oh oooh Try everything/ 喔喔喔 全力以赴

Look at how far you’ve come, you filled your heart with love/ 回头看看你走过的路 你的心充满了爱
Baby you’ve done enough that cut your breath/ 你已经做得很好了
Don’t beat yourself up, don’t need to run so fast/ 别再自责 有些路是急不得的
Sometimes we come last, but we did our best/ 有时我们没有超越其他人 却突破了自己

I won’t give up, no I won’t give in/ 绝不放弃 绝不放手
Til I reach the end and then I’ll start again/ 直到终点 再重新启程
No I won’t leave, I wanna try everything/ 不轻言放弃 全力以赴
I wanna try even though I could fail/ 就算可能失败 也要竭尽全力
I won’t give up, no I won’t give in/ 绝不放弃 绝不放手
Til I reach the end and then I’ll start again/ 直到终点 再重新启程
No I won’t leave, I wanna try everything/ 不轻言放弃 全力以赴
I wanna try even though I could fail/ 就算可能失败 也要竭尽全力

I’ll keep on making those new mistakes/ 不断犯下新的错误
I’ll keep on making them every day/ 每天每天继续犯下
Those new mistakes/ 那些新的错误

Oh oh oh oh oooh Try everything/ 喔喔喔 尝试一切
Oh oh oh oh oooh Try everything/ 喔喔喔 竭尽全力
Oh oh oh oh oooh Try everything/ 喔喔喔 全力以赴

A song about acceptance, affirmation, and welcoming love:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uj8C43r4zm0
Gloria Gaynor – I am What I am
This was the song of the 2012 Paralympics opening ceremony in Great Britain.

Blessed are the meek, save the homophobes

Blessed meek save homophobes.

Blessed are the meek for they will inherit the Earth.

Homophobes are actually repressed homosexuals.

Do you know why? Let me explain.

For a non-gay, the love of girls comes naturally. They were born that way. They never learned to do that. The love of guys just doesn’t exist. They accept that different people have different desires. These are the people who are strongly in favour of human rights for GBLT people.

It is the gay person who realizes that he has this tendency to love guys. He is taught by religious dogma that this desire is vile and must be suppressed. He lives in fear of being found out. He craves what he cannot get. Fear leads to hate.

When people crave the things they cannot get, they become fearful and hateful. Hence the common advice for homosexuals is to marry a wife. This leads to the propagation of the gay gene. This also explains why parents become so violent when they find out their child is a gay. They have become so indoctrinated by the religious dogma of homophobia, fear, and self-hate that they pour out this anger onto their child.

Although it goes against all reason, I must bring up another Hitler analogy. Did you know that Hitler fell madly in love with a Jewish girl? This is a true fact. He felt agonized by her rejection and unrequited love. The rest of the story is all too well known. The Holocaust was one of the worst human rights disasters in human history. Hitler’s Nazi followers gassed millions of Jews to death in German Gas Chambers. I’m not surprised if the Nazi murderer of the homosexuals was himself a repressed homosexual.

Blessed meek save homophobes

I wouldn’t want to defend Hitler but I would want to save the homophobes before it is too late.

God loves you just the way you are.

It’s not too late. I know you want to be free of this pain. You’re being torn apart. We love you. You have the strength to do it. We will help you. Come home.

Thinking out of the box – Affinity gradients

Genetics and the Yin-Yang theory

In Chinese philosophy, the must be a balance between female and male essences. Yin refers to the female essence. Yang refers to the male essence.

If a woman with a high XY-affinity marries a man with a high XX-affinity, we have a fairy tale love story. The children are likely to have standard sexual orientations.

The affinity gradients could be skewed, giving rise to non-standard sexual orientations. Let us see how this is so.

For example, the woman may have high XY-affinity and the man may have low XX-affinity. It becomes plausible that children would have high XY-affinity. Boys would then be born gay.

As for the dual example, the woman may have low XY-affinity and the man may have high XX-affinity. It becomes plausible that children would have high XX-affinity. Girls would then be born lesbian.

If a lesbian’s egg and a gay’s sperm collide, will we be able to obtain children with standard sexual orientations?

We are not sure if a human’s affinity gradient enjoys safe harbor locked to the XX and XY chromosomes.

I can imagine a modern-day Hitler performing such an experiment. Hitler loved to experiment on humans.

In cultures that persecute or even stigmatize non-standard sexual orientations, humans may be forced to conform to societal norms. Humans may exhibit sexual orientation plasticity. It takes Godly strength to maintain this unstable equilibrium. Respite is offered to the husband by escapades with a young boyfriend.

An (un)happily married friend commented, being an LGBTQIA person has no good consequences. We admit that this is true. We propose that the reason is due to society’s persecution rather than the nature of the person themselves.

The first Christians in ancient times were Jewish. God in His mercy revealed to Saint Peter that salvation did not belong solely to the Jews. Salvation also belongs to the Gentiles. Peter held the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. He did not withhold it.

Today, the Ethical Christians are increasing in numbers. God in His mercy revealed that salvation did not belong solely to the non-LGBTQIA people. Salvation also belongs to the LGBTQIA people. Ethical Christians are Saints who hold the keys to the Kingdom of Heaven. Let us not withhold it.

The Love Command

Jesus replied: “ ‘Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: ‘Love your neighbour as yourself.’ ”

The Time Traveller Analogy

(If God can perform gene transforms, why doesn’t God make me ABC/XYZ?)

Some things are easier said than done. For example, time travel.

Suppose that time travel is commonplace and there are many time travellers.

Suppose one day, or from one day onwards, time travellers say that God hates non-time travellers, that non-time travellers are immoral and have no moral values.

How would the non-time travellers feel about it? They would of course wish to become time travellers. But they can’t.

God can do anything. Suppose that God chooses a subset of non-time travellers and performs a gene transform on them, such that they become time travellers. Will they also have this time-traveller pride and say that God hates non-time travellers?

Understanding L and non-L

L does not need to be understood.

L wants your understanding.

L is not against non-L.

L is perfectly fine with non-L going about their daily activities.

However, there is a subset of non-L people that are actively opposing the equal human rights of L.

These L-phobic people are what L is advocating against.

Every action has an equal and opposite reaction. Let’s be clear about this.

My advice to L:
Despite the injustices that you are facing, please think straight and define the scope of your argument carefully.

Know that there exist non-L people that support your right to live a happy life.

L-phobic people come in two parts. One part has the knowledge that L are born this way. One part has knowledge that L are not born this way. These two parts are L-phobic nonetheless.

The L-phobic part 1 assumes that disabled people are not entitled to the same human rights.

The L-phobic part 2 assumes that L has chosen to be L. Therefore this sin excludes them from basic human rights.

L-phobic people carry out hate crimes against L-philic people, causing them to commit suicide. This fact is obvious to L-philic people but non-obvious to L-phobic people. L-phobic people expel L-philic family members from homes onto the streets, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. This fact is non-obvious to L-phobic Christian pastors but obvious to L-philic families. Please, let us love our family members.

Replace L with LGBTQIA.

Religious Persecution and Happy Utility Functions

Religious Persecution

Some people use religious texts to justify hate crimes. The religious texts could include but are not limited to the Bible’s Old Testament / New Testament / Final Testament, the Deuterocanonical texts, the Torah/Tanakh/Mishnah/Talmud/Midrash/Kabbalah, the Quran/Fatwa/Sharia/Hadith, the Ancient Buddhist/Hindu/Tibetan/Gnostic/Illuminati/Mormon/LDS/New Age/Sutras/Vedas/Apocrypha/Taoist/Confucian scriptures etc. You see, it is up to the reader’s interpretation. He will use it for his own benefit. If he is an evil person, he will use religious texts for evil means.

I would like to give credit to religions that respect all life forms. An example would be Buddhism. You can see that followers of Buddhism did not harm people because of simply who they were or what they believed in. They (the evil ones) harmed people in order to increase their own self interest.

In religions that devalue certain life forms, evil people harmed other people simply because of who they were born to be or what they believed in.

The principle of Buddhism can thus be seen in a favourable light. A Buddhist Christian can also be called an Ethical Christian.

Happy Utility Functions

I would like to identify three happy utility functions:

  • Health
  • Wisdom
  • Love

Health is a function of how much you eat, how much you exercise, and how much you sleep.

In the Game Theory of Life, you maximize your own utility functions. Each person seeks his/her own self-interest.

Now for the definition.

A utility function is happy if you can have as much as you want without sacrificing the utility functions of other beings.

Why do I call it happy? The reason is because if everyone maximized these utility functions, this would result in the greatest happiness for all people.

It is a universal optimization.

传道书 3:11Chinese New Version (Simplified) (CNVS)

他使万事各按其时,成为美好;他又把永恒的意识放在人的心里;虽然这样,人还是不能察觉 神自始至终的作为。

Ecclesiastes 3:11New International Version (NIV)

He has made everything beautiful in its time. He has also set eternity in the human heart; yet no one can fathom what God has done from beginning to end.

 קֹהֶלֶת 3:11The Westminster Leningrad Codex (WLC)

אֶת-הַכֹּל עָשָׂה, יָפֶה בְעִתּוֹ; גַּם אֶת-הָעֹלָם, נָתַן בְּלִבָּם–מִבְּלִי אֲשֶׁר לֹא-יִמְצָא הָאָדָם אֶת-הַמַּעֲשֶׂה אֲשֶׁר-עָשָׂה הָאֱלֹהִים, מֵרֹאשׁ וְעַד-סוֹף.

“Even if there is only one possible unified theory, it is just a set of rules and equations. What is it that breathes fire into the equations and makes a universe for them to describe? The usual approach of science of constructing a mathematical model cannot answer the questions of why there should be a universe for the model to describe. Why does the universe go to all the bother of existing?”
