o where do we stand today?  Unfortunately we live in an idiocracy where people are just too stupid to understand religion.  This applies equally to all religions.  So the pressing issue is to raise human intelligence until there is a non-trivial minority in religion who can properly understand religion and guide the rest of the people in the religion.  This is what my Arkian project is for.

But there still remains the general question of how best to apply religious rules today.  I think the Anabaptists and Jews have the right answer here, which is to apply rules at the level of religious communities, not through government institutions.  This allows maximum diversity of rules so that we can see which set of rules work best.  This effectively leaves judgement of these rules to God.

How can you raise human intelligence if degeneracy keeps deepening and widening until and unless you challenge and defeat it by calling out the matriarchy?  

Surely this means proposing a solution in theory by making a case for it?

It is only when you successfully prove that your idea is sound in theory do you take the next step which is its implementation.

If you dare not make arguments in its favour, it will never get off the ground, will it?

Are you perhaps making the category error of confusing the likelihood of a solution being successfully implemented in your lifetime with its soundness in principle?

Are you saying you will not support a sound idea if you do not think you will be around to benefit from it in your lifetime?

If that is the case, does it not mean that you are no better than an atheist and a nihilist?
