Why are they pushed so hard to younger generations, who pay for this?
It's the global system of systematized education, naturally when you study science, materialistic subjects for the first 18 years of your life, you will be conditioned to have a materialistic mind.Like Krishnamurti said, Education is learned ignorance.
>>41013303People like this are known as Black Brothers via Aleister Crowley. Sam Harris can also be considered one. They have knowledge and/or direct experience of the divine, but they willfully use it for ill by turning people away from it by putting everything into a box of materialist "science".
>>41013367Interesting concept, like gatekeepers of the "esoteric arts"? I heard some say that certain religions want to do something like this, a monopoly on magic
>>41013387Same concept is also sort of referenced in Masonic literature. "When the people cry for a hero, we shall provide one." Basically control of both sides of the narrative in any given situation. It used to be that those in the know could just hard block people from knowing certain things and control them with that knowledge. The Mystery religion followers have simply evolved with the times to focus more on social spheres as a whole and sowing confusion since all information is now available to anyone who looks for it.
>>41013303Idk about now, but these guys were never pushed on me when I was younger. The only reason I know about them is because I liked post-9/11 discovery channel, I read Sagan’s books, and watched the show cosmos. I wanted to be a quantum physicist when I grew up. Kids who don’t like or care about space/science couldn’t even name these guys if you asked them.
>>41013303Sagan was smart enough to successfully detach skepticism from nihilism Captcha went down for saying this the first time I typed it
>>41013303The state. Corrupt states love Christianity, for the same reason they love atheism. They use the same apologetics model. Between both of these, they have the same basic goal; to disinvest people from the world around them and disempower.
>>41013303belongs on /pol/
>>41013707Sadly a feat that many of his fans weren't able to reproduce, the "cool and happy" atheist, just look at r/skeptic and r/atheism, or society in general nowadays
>>41013985>Corrupt states love ChristianityNot sure what you mean here, but more accurately corrupt states love a corrupt Christianity - the world does not want you to arrive at the conclusion that Christ Jesus, the one in the gospels, Jesus of Nazareth, is Lord.It is possible that some scientists are blinded by satan, and in irgnorance serve him. It's likely some will also know they serve satan, and will look to blind you - the Lord knows.
