Trad vs materialist world views

In the materialist view, humans are central
Abuse of one& #39;s relatives is "bad"
Abusing "imaginary" deities is OK

In the "Trad" worldview, humans are perishable
Deities transcendental

Abusing deities a graver misdemeanor than abusing fellow humans

The ethics of "materialists" / "moderns" stem largely from a framework that places humans on a pedestal

Traditionalists don& #39;t take human beings as seriously

Their focus is more on what they regard as the transcendental truths

I don& #39;t believe the twain will ever meet

We live in a materialist world. So we& #39;ve all accepted the premises of atheistic materialism to a greater or a lesser degree, to get along.

But "Trads" remain amongst us. Who refuse to accept the primacy of Man

In the first tweet, I used the term "imaginary" deities

Notice how the term "imaginary" in modern materialist discourse has a negative connotation

Because modernity emphasizes "reality", "what& #39;s visible", "data", "facts"

It discounts the "invisible", the "imagined ideal"

Whereas the old world emphasized the "Soul", the "invisble", not the "real but perishable"

So the term "imaginary" is not a pejorative adjective in the traditionalist view, while it is pejorative for materialists

This is such a fundamental divide, that there is no meeting point
