>The idea of equality and rights is grounded in Christianity.That's why Europeans only came up with them after the Enlightenment when they became secular and less religious.

The claim that equality and rights are “grounded in Christianity” mistakes a contingent historical vehicle for a structural feature of human relationality. My model begins from a first axiom: human beings exist as communicating bodies within a shared relational field. Agency is not a moral reward, theological gift, or state concession—it is co-emergent with communication itself. A being stripped of agency cannot enter relation, cannot generate meaning, and collapses into objecthood. Thus dignity is not sentiment but a communicative invariant.What modernity calls “rights” are communication-stabilizing mechanisms: they preserve subjects from domination so relationality can continue without collapsing into coercion. Christianity did not invent equality; it translated relational necessity into the symbolic grammar of late antiquity—imago Dei, universal moral address, and a trans-ethnic moral community. But this was a midstream articulation of a deeper law: communication fails wherever one will annihilates another’s capacity to respond. Rights do not exist because humans are metaphysically exalted; they exist because reciprocal recognition is required for communication to remain real.Pluralism follows from this—not as sentimental sameness (the UU error), but as communicative realism: multiple civilizations can converge upon relational invariants without dissolving into relativism. Vedic ṛta, Stoic logos, Taoist harmony, Confucian ren, Islamic fitra, and Christian personalism each approach the same structural law from different symbolic grammars. None owns truth; each is a cultural operator within one communicative field.Christianity is historically important, but to confuse historical transmission with ontological grounding is provincial. Equality is not grounded “in Christianity.” Both Christianity and equality are grounded in relational ontology. Christianity named fragments of it, Enlightenment rationalism abstracted it.

>>18104637>>18104763Manifesting an altruistic paradigm toward proximate sentient entities, as one directs toward the self, optimizes prosocial behavior through empathetic neurobiological activation. This requires modulating the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis to reduce conflict, fostering a symbiotic interrelationship with neighboring conspecifics. The principle enhances communal resilience by equitably distributing affective resources across the social matrix, underpinned by the quantum entanglement of emotional states. This synthesis of self-love and other-love dissipates interpersonal entropy, promoting a harmonic equilibrium within the human superorganism. Ultimately, it represents an adaptive pinnacle of social intelligence in Homo sapiens' evolutionary narrative.
>>18104563>the english magna carta>the spanish inquisition gave better due process than secular courts
>>18104817The "rights" of the Magna Carta applied to upper nobility who were literally like 1% of the population of England.
I'll take the compliment. Neither are you immune from stigma, sir.
>>18104817>the spanish inquisition gave better due process than secular courtsThat sounds like a claim made by some e-christian youtuber who soifaces in thumbnails.
>>18104563>>>/r/eddit
>>18104563The idea of equality comes from Satan, the idea of rights comes from God which is why they had them in medieval Christendom.
>>18104563>>18104596Christians are the ultimate retards. They will often boast about how much they “preserved” of the ancient world while conveniently leaving out the fact that the ancient world is only lost because of them. The texts that did survive would have survived without Christianity anyways as pagans had already been copying and preserving them for centuries.
>>18104862That anon is right. There were cases where people went out of their way in claiming supernatural stuff to get the Inquisition to try them rather than secular authorities .
>>18105099this is what larpagans actually believe
>>18105099>show me objective evidence there is something eternal in this worldThe need for objective evidence
>>18105106if you champion equal rights, you'd better thank the catholic church
The idea that all men are equal before God is literally in the bible. "The divine right of kings" was always blasphemy, but that never stopped autocrats.
>>18105108Yes, they actually believe in facts unlike you.
>>18105166>Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God. Consequently, whoever rebels against the authority is rebelling against what God has instituted, and those who do so will bring judgment on themselves. For rulers hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong. Do you want to be free from fear of the one in authority? Then do what is right and you will be commended.
Rights and equality is a bunch of junk. We need a christian monarchy.
>>18104614There is nothing about equality in the Code of Hammurabi. Religious organizations are higher in importance than freedmen, who are higher in importance than slaves. Men held more legal rights than women.Fathers basically own their offspring. Use of mercenaries in place of one's self when levied for warfare is accepted. So the idea that rich citizens would be able to avoid military service was normalized. Abuse between those of different social classes had different punishments depending on the direction of said abuse, those of a higher class would have less punishments for abusing those of a lower class than vice-versa.
Men have equal dignity but not equal intelligence or authority, asserting a blanket equality is a perversion of the truth which should not be celebrated. As for rights, that's not something secular persons believe in at all, and when they pretend to for rhetorical purposes it's always in the sickest ways like a "right" to kill an unborn human being.
>>18105197>they actually believe in facts unlike you.
>>18105221The divine right of kings posits that kings are given the authority to do whatever they please, no matter how ungodly, whereas this passage says God appointed them as ministers of the law, to implement and enforce His law, so that they "hold no terror for those who do right, but for those who do wrong."
