... from a new book I'm writing: "about the empirical onthology" ...

Apparently the churches have never heard of the roman expression "medice cura te ipso".

The history of churches appears to present a consistent pattern of abuse within the centuries, so why should anybody expect such abuse to be ended now ?, maybe because they repented from their sins and self-absolved themselves ?, or because "they state" a god nobody has ever seen "forgave their crimes ?". Therefore while the concept of ethics and spirituality could be synonym of a legitimate humanist concern, the empirical evidence of the behavior of churches, makes church ethics an oxymoron.

Certain worlds have traditionaly become feuds of such abuse, such as the "vountarism and charity" industry and the retail industry. Within the charity and voluntarism industry, such vision is perpetuated in organizing services for the religiously submitted desperates, so that a high level of power is achieved by the religious referents whenever some dirty work to save them is needed.

Whitin the religiously obedient retail industry, such path is perpetuated with the same kind of connivence, and the word tweakers (note the expression of common language of drug "dealers"), and dealers are synonyms, for instance. Not that I may have anything against tweakers, "per se". The problem lays in deeper reasoning schemas of the industry, whereas further oxymorons like "business ethics" are used. There is no such ethics as "business ethics", there is either one or the other, unless you are a non profit corporation distributing free commodities and services, that is the only possible "ethic business".

The results of such logic, added with the enourmous social value of forgiving sins, creates a society where tweakers manage or sabotage the others, either in religion, or business or both, because obviously the "motivation" of any tweaker is wide stronger than the one of anybody normal, and in absence of real ethics, substituted by the profit logic oxymoron of "business ethics", is self explanatory of why the system tends to stabilize into the pyramid of tweakers.

That's why anytime I hear the words "faith", "motivation" or "ethics" I suddenly feel in need to go look for a rifle. I learned with the years, that people concerned about real ethics, use more wording as "fair profit", and "human natural rights", instead than than the prior ones. Humans that preach godness and have dirt in their yard, are the best "empirical" evidence of the historical connection and jerarchical relation between the sinners and the ones that "forgive" sins, and indicate clearly that religions in general are type of cults, and organized religion itself is a form of constitutionally protected racketeering, whereas constitutions are unfortunatelly not worded to make a distinguo with the legitimate and natural right of choice of spiritual belief, and businesses or other forms of association that call themselves religions.

Nietzsche wrote " ... has not observed life carefully, the one that has not seen the 'charitable' hand that kills ... ". We would add, "has forgotten history as well", and the "charitable" hand is the one above. They wont kill you in their church or business, but they'll make your life miserable, they'll conspire lying about you with their employees and congregations, they'll manipulate your family against you, they'll slave you until you are sick and with no energies, they'll discriminate you on anything you do, they'll make evident to their disciples you are "fair game", so the "seculars", the ones criminal under them that had their sins absolved by their god, could target you more effectivelly.

Unfortunatelly, in the western definition of "state of law", the provvisions of rackeetering don't include such physical and juridical subjects, nor the ignorance of the people helps in applying the existing legislations to destroy such types of rackeetering, because the ignorant folk can not see the danger of the hate churches produce.

I'm sure however that the survivers of the second war concentration camps, can see the the historical and empirical conclusions here. The thousand of years of faith related wars, for the ones that believe in historical evidence, should leave no doubt. The burning crosses in the southern states should leave no doubt. The terror regimes of theocracies should leave no doubts.

So we want to extend an invitation to any human being valuing ethics and spirituality, to extend an inter-faith message to each other, to stop supporting organized religion, to stop meeting in their locations, to resign from works where religious talks are made, and to start assembling in public parks, with other people of good will, orderly, in small groups and at different times, to discuss the real issues of life and death, without having to support the snake oil god salesmen of the churches and their politics, in the process.

Any political issue of spiritual concern can be adressed in a civilized manner, by universal ballot. There is no reason of "representatives" middlemen milking the cow, neither in the feuds of organized religion nor in the political one. Time to go back to DIRECT democracy, since the indirect representatives trusted deserve no trust, at the bottom line, "the people" do.
