At this time Sumerian cuneiform writing was already in use, and the
Sumerians were worshipping Inanna (Eve?) (the dying-and-rising _Goddess_!)
and her son/lover Tammouz (Able?), but the cult of Isis and Osiris was not yet
known, being a phenomenon of the next millennium, first recorded from
the time of the Old Kingdom in Egypt, around 2500 BCE.
In Egypt around 5500 years ago (3500 BCE), the Egyptian kingdoms were just
coming together, with Menes the Fighter (1st dynasty) unifying Upper and

"tinny", e.g. Shaw, Wells, Bacon ("Restoration Comedy"),
Mill, Gibbon, Voltaire, "Don Juan". Gibbon good, but
merely entertaining. 4 final chess "moves":
1) Hippolytus; leave the desert behind, return to the
land of longing
2) Alexander; don't confuse enjoyment of (doing) with
contemplation of (thinking about) love, hate, fear,
hope, desire
3) desire-life meshed with philosophy ("Spirit")
4) Berkeley's God, Chesterton's "Everlasting Man")

11/16/98 - The Romance of Orthodoxy (immanence, God is in us => introspection,
self-isolation, quietism, social indifference, Tibet (Buddhism) vs.
transcendance => wonder, curiosity, moral and political adventure,
righteous indignation, Christendom
11/22/98 - Authority and the Adventurer (THE question: Why not just take the
(rational) "good"/practical parts, leave the dogma behind?)
- reasonable (but wrong) agnostic objections to Christianity:
1 humans, in shape, structure, sexuality, are like beasts
2 primeval religion arose in ignorance and fear
3 priests have blighted societies w/bitterness, gloom
4 Jesus was a wimp (ineffectual)
5 Christianity arose, flourished in dark ages (like to return us)
6 strongly religious (superstitious) people (Irish) weak, impract.
7 middle ages were barbaric
8 Darwinism is demonstrated
9 miracles do not happen
A monks were lazy
B nuns are unhappy
C Christian art was sad and pale
D modern science moving away from supernaturalism
He responds:
1 explain towering eccentricity of man
2 explain universal human tradition of some ancient happiness
3 explain partial perpetuation of pagan joy in Catholic countries
4 writings ABOUT Jesus, yes, but not BY Jesus
5 Christianity was ONLY path thru dk ages (our civilization should
have vanished at fall of Rome, like other previous ones, but it
was resurrected in renaissance/enlightenment)
6 Irish have gotten what they demanded, only Britons not squire-
ridden, good at hard professions, iron, law, soldier
7-8 not!
9 wrong, normally you believe testimony, materialists CAN'T because
of their dogma, so they reject testimony of ordinary people
because of dogma (MUSTn't believe an extraordinary event) or
because of anti-democracy (needn't listen to "ordinary" people)
A-D not!
- paganism => small, limited joys, despair in big things
Christendom => small, limited despairs, joy in big things
Christianity is unattractive on outside, attractive on inside
paganism is attractive on outside, unattractive (dead) on inside
