      4/ the early post-Christianization of this, the conflation of Good with Health dates back to the mid 19th century, and we see two prominent markers: - health - IFLS! Heck, she even CALLED her new religion "Christian Science" !https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christian_Science#Mary_Baker_Eddy_and_the_early_Christian_Science_movement …

      6/ The word "health" got more and more predominant. In an era where people are conflicted about believing in non physical phenomena, you can't talk about morality or the afterlife...but the urge to classify and justify remains, so "character" gets replaced with "mental health".

      7/ Hopping back to the 1980s and 1990s when I was in college, I remember "that's not healthy" was a phrase I heard a lot. Guy prefers to read instead of party? "Not healthy". Disagrees with dominant narrative? "Not healthy". And so on.

      8/ There were (at least) two strains in this deification of health in the late 20th century tho: the actual health nuts (descended from California Ideology, in turn descended from late 19th/ early 20th century German nudists etc), and the East Coast psychological health folks

      10/ This understanding that there are TWO DEFINITIONS of "health", one west coast and natural, one east coast and urban, is key ...and these two definitions, and the two egregores that support them, are fighting a cold civil war God is dead (in our body politic), but Health...

      11/ so anyway, when we see an obese black woman and we're are told that it is "healthy", what we are really being told is that "health" is a code word for "moral" (actually, the word "moral" is suspect and bad, so only "health" remains), and BLACK and FEMALE are moral/good.

      12/ it's just a reification of tribal virtues / chanting the tribal songs the totem is being paraded in front of the massed villagers ; the soviet tanks are rolling down the road, and everyone needs to turn out and remove their hat and chant the sacred texts

      13/ side note: both of these forms of health, "mental" (i.e. pay attention to me and my emotions, I am SOOOO complex and interesting) and physical (actually aesthetic) (i.e. pay attention to me and my body, my skin is SOOOO pure and my face unsullied) >https://twitter.com/MorlockP/status/1481633035288289281 …

      14/ ...are absolutely female dominated mindsets. ...and women have traditionally always been the church ladies, the social chairs, and the cultural enforcers. Of COURSE they're now telling us to eat quinoa and respect obese black women particular way of being heart healthy.

          Replying to @MorlockP
          As someone who was raised in this religion I disagree that it's post-Christian. It is the most radical form of American protestant Christianity I have encountered. So literal in the interpretation of new testament scripture it would be considered prelest to most.

          16/ additionally, I am using the phrase post-Christian in the same way as the large postrat-adjacent / NRx / etc phyle, so litigating "yes, but 10 thousand of you chose the wrong term 14 years ago" is not a useful way to approach this debate
