1) my father did the same sort of thing as you: calling his daughter a "prostitute" [*], since that's the exact word, pretending to use the etymological meaning. For him it was a natural observation which had no more important consequences than that. Likewise, he will not hesitate several times to qualify me as "abnormal" to his audience. Some words have consequences that can be painful.

I understand your pain with this image of the carnal father which refers to the spiritual father where we would supposedly be in his image! Yuck if it was!
so I am willing to replace the notion of infidelity with something more neutral like ... the automobile.
You have, according to you, been raised in Protestantism! So in this parallel, this parable, Protestantism being one automobile among all the others. Suppose that dad, mom had a Volvo station wagon (or chose the make, the model you want, whatever) As a child the faults of this vehicle are not your concern, but become an adult and because dad, mom you passed on this vehicle with its many KM on the meter, you realize that it is not tip, top, that it is cumbersome that the mechanic is expensive (yes!) and you (the you, being , I, he, us, obviously) decides to change it to one more suited to your current situation and you (the, it etc…) decides to take a vroummm, vromm, second-hand obviously and who eats a packet of gasoline, insurance, garage owner too and after a while, you settle down and change again for a more reasonable vehicle, could receive the brats you just made, for a 4x4, which eats 'petrol, which pollutes, which costs dearly in insurance ... and in garage.
So instead of the term cuckold you trade it for disappointment, dissatisfaction, for not having found the right thing that does not pollute, that costs little in the garage and, oh miracle, you find the vehicle of your dreams , the fully electric K, battery or battery, which does not pollute, which costs almost nothing in maintenance, which benefits from premiums on the purchase, etc ... and there it is the absolute footing and the others become responsible for all the evils of humanity, CO2, fossil fuels, (well, it is true that "nuclear" electricity is needed to make hydrogen with hydrocarbons, or that batteries are expensive, with rare metals that children extract with their fragile little hands, etc ... but whatever !!!!)
Is that better for you ?! In reality, it is only car for car, not a solution to the displacement that our elders made on horseback, on donkey or on foot. So say from there that Judaism, Chris ... well, the old modes of transport are yuck, poop, because they had no abs, cruise control or alloy rims, or battery hydrogen is of course a point of view, but of what value when we compare things that are not comparable?
2) Are you saying that considering monotheistic religions as a scam has something to do with it? great good do you! in this case it is that you consider yourself targeted and you may have to observe that you are not as impartial as you say.
You're the one talking about scam, not me! I am the author of two books on defaults Christianities as religious systems, because I have the advantage of having NO RELIGIOUS CULTURE inherited from my parents and therefore I have nothing to defend, but I live in a society that has been marked by its time and its mores with some successes and some inevitable failures depending on the means available, the dominant or dominated position, etc.
All système is open to criticism since it depends on those who developed it, and this is where the problem arises and where form and substance merge. The automobile can be criticized for its design flaws (but who would do better?) And especially for its realization as a means adapted to the times we live in and therefore the context that I constantly evoke, because this aspect did not exist not at the start of the current era and wanting to judge one against the other is futile and useless. (in 2.000 years our concepts will be considered archaic whereas today we consider this to be the ultimate, especially in technology,) but on a human level it is regressing rather.
I also used a provocative term of cuckold and that made you react, it's all the better as I react also on the term scam, unsuitable for the situation.3) when I call myself a "moron" there is a hidden side. This moron, even if he does not have much weight, has the chance to work with people much more qualified while touching the same fields. By calling myself a "moron" I mean my position, say social, with a bad gift (and little courage) to learn by heart subjects that do not interest me or, again, to submit. In short, instead of "moron", deliberately provocative, I could have used "dunce" with the obvious risk that it will serve me. Crétin is in a sense more discreet
However, it is true that systems are like humans, they are attractive when they are new, beautiful, and over time they age take wrinkles, have rheumatism, become deaf or bedridden, this is why it is necessary to renew the stock in fresher items, but without experience, without ripening like a cheese or a wine, because you can't have your cake and eat it too. Old age like youth are not scams but stages of life as of history and it is the same for religions, medicine or politics (see what is happening now!)
And as I am in France, at this moment I also have the last word!PS: I'm in the US right now so I'll have the last word
Humor is better than vanity.
