What is and isn't culturally acceptable is always in flux. The norms of the 1950s United States are not some kind of absolute. In another 70 years they'll be different from today, as well.
- smeeger 1y agoi disagree. monotheistic values arent random
- spicyusername 1y agoCan you elaborate on that?
- smeeger 1y agoif you look at monotheism it usually draws from the same constellation of things. fasting is encouraged. humility. and some concept of intrinsic sinfulness which is actually a very deep insight into the nature of organisms that prioritize their own wellbeing over everything else. ie all organisms. monotheism springs up in response to the cynical nature of human society. but more broadly to protect us from all the cynical and unnatural consequences of human society, not just selfishness. monotheism is how human beings reconcile with the terrible products of their own society. and therefore it tends to be similar everywhere. but only in places where the population reached a tipping point and broadly adopted a moral crusade against those things.
