I think the basic premise of monotheism has to be taken into consideration.

To the Ancients, gods were ideals, metaphors, memes, etc. The conceptual tools of thought and communication, by which the process of conscious thought has evolved. There were gods of love, war, seas, sun, mountains, tribes, even one for self centeredness. etc.

The origins of the Trinity go back to fertility rites and the year gods. The young god born in the spring, to the old sky god and the earth mother. Though by the age of the Olympians, Zeus didn't give way to Dionysus. Tradition prevailed over renewal. As the old are loathe to give way to the young. Which provided fertile ground for the story of the resurrection of Jesus to take root.

To the Ancients monotheism equated with monoculture. One people, one rule, one god. Politically it expressed as monarchy. The Big Guy Rules. Like the religion.

Democracy and republicanism originated in pantheistic cultures. The many ideas and ideals competing.

When Constantine adopted Christianity as the state religion of Rome, it was as he finally consolidated the Empire, so the monotheism served to validate rule from above. While the origins of the Trinity were obscured by the Holy Ghost, since renewal, as well as women, were not part of the show.

So the Catholic Church became the eschatological basis for European monarchy. Divine right of kings. As opposed to consent of the governed.

When the West went back to democracy and republicanism, it required separation of church and state, culture and civics.

The basic fallacy in normal Western monotheism, Pope John Paul's, "all-knowing absolute," is that ideals are not absolutes.

Truth, beauty, platonic forms are ideals. The core codes, creeds, heroes, narratives at the gravitational center of every culture are ideals. Without which, they would break apart and be scattered to the winds. Tower of Babel.

Yet the universal is the elemental, not any particular ideal. So a spiritual absolute would be that essence of sentience, from which we rise, not an ideal of wisdom and judgement, from which we fell. The light shining through the film, than the stories playing out on it.

The Jewish ideal, at the basic community level, is still that Bronze age tribalism. That particular group entity, solidified by the forty years in the desert, with an apparent guardian angel looking over them.

Yet this makes it hard to relate to the other tribes, so it was getting past its sell by date, with the Roman Empire and the necessary networking and hierarchies involved. Which the Jews didn't see fit to go along with, so they were kicked out.

The whole turn the other cheek, do unto others, as you would have them do unto you, is to be able to relate to that larger world. What goes round, comes round. Two wrongs don't make a right and unless there is a circuit breaker to the feedback loop, everyone is hurt.

So this state of Israel, that was thrown together at the end of WW2, has some serious philosophical and psychological issues mostly swept under the rug. Not only do those missing 2000 years of civil evolution leave it at odds with the region and the world, but it's like someone with an abused childhood, that developed a serious violent streak, but were smart and reasonably successful.

Though things have been going sideways in middle age and suddenly it's at the barricaded in the house with the hostages stage, looking to take it to suicide by cop, given the wider war that seems the goal will leave the place a smoking ruin.

So there are some serious cultural beliefs and habits that need to be further addressed.

As it is, now every social ideal feels the need to proclaim its universality, no matter how fringe and it's all against all.

There are liberal and conservative aspects of any society. The anarchies of desire, versus the tyrannies of judgement. The hopes of youth, versus the lessons of age. Even galaxies are energy radiating out, as structure coalesces in.

Morality is not absolute, since if it were, it couldn't be transgressed, like a temperature below absolute zero.

Morals are the ideals, the codes and behaviors that enable a healthy, functioning society. Such as one's status and worth as a function of how much one adds, not how much one can extract. That is necrotic.

There are a lot of cobwebs in the mental attic that need to be cleared.
