Aristotle: The God Universe (Nicomachean Ethics)
Aristotle saw an invisible 'god' as THE structure behind all things,
and saw 'god' as 'knowledge in the highest degree'. (Henk Tuten: substitute 'God' by 'meta-sense'='non-sense')
In the ancient times of Aristotle most people believed that there had to be more than visible human behavior.
People living 'far' away were easily seen as dangerous 'barbarians', because of different language, dress and visible habits.
But also often seen as having mythical powers.
Nicomachean Ethics (Ethique a Nicomaque) were tailormade rules of the logical 'law and order' game 'Reality by God' (animated bodies), as designed by Aristoteles for his obedient follower Alexander the Cursed (because of his greed for greatness known as Alexander the 'Great'). Henk Tuten quote: Socrates had a student named Plato, Plato had a student named Aristotle, and Aristotle had a zombie named Alexander the Cursed
Aristotles' creationism of 'law and order' by 'god' became essence of 'Hellenism'.
And many ages later , via the Romans and via Thomas Aquinas, in 17th century Enlightement in Europe
through Descartes totally influenced Catholicism and The Western World.
Descartes never succeeded in proving that god/mind/natural-law 'exists' (per definition it can't be sensed, it is not sensible). No surprise, because every logic/ethics has presumptions, and a presumption of God-logic (ritual worship of a superior being) is
the 'existence of God/Natural-Law' (THE highest superior being and/or THE rules).
Theologians never related Aristotle's opinions (about slavery, women, ..) to his larger natural philosophy.
Aristotle did not accept emotion as valid source of human behavior and
saw emotion as source of animal behavior.
Instead Aristotle took 'love for God' as emotionless source of human behavior.
Theologicians invented the words 'mind', 'soul' or 'spirit' (Mind Body Dualism),
to disguise the absolutism 'love for God'. In 'rationalism' worship of THE logic in THE ABSOLUTE structure got the name 'ratio'. Catholic Encyclopedy: Obedience is accepting the unchangeableness of THE natural law and order as
created by God. Catholic Encyclopedy: The Body is expression of 'THE Natural Law'.
(by the way: the founding of the United States is based on THE Natural Law, the belief in 1 TRUTH)

Hypothesis
God's logic is not common sense (physics), but non-sense (metaphysics).
God/Non-Sense exists (the existence of metaphysics is a a priori)
God/Non-Sense is superior to nature (metaphysics is above physics)
God/Non-Sense is not physical (God = Metaphysics)
God/Non-Sense is expressed in 'natural laws'
God/Non-Sense is chained to every God/Non-Sense-believer by way of 'anima'
Shared sense is common sense

Rules of God
Summum Bonum
The Rules:
- Aristotle defines status 'happy life' in the logical game 'Reality by God' as 'totum bonum'
- Getting 'totum bonum' takes total obedience to 'God'. Getting all available bonus points (summum bonum).
- The players of 'Reality by God' are split in 'moral' (by way of bonus points) and intellectual (bodily).
- 'Moral' virtues are 'subjective' (Henk Tuten: an INVENTED notion) , but follow what is accepted as universal natural law (given by God).
- 'Laws' (human made) keep players within God's rules of the game (God made natural laws).
- A 'moral' player aims at 'moral' perfection (Henk Tuten: God's zombie - summum bonum).
- Following God's rules = 'Moral'. Ignoring The Rules = 'Vice' (Henk Tuten: barbarians, terrorists).
- 'Reason' or 'moral' fantasies give most bonus points (acting morally)
- Bodily desires (like thinking of sex) are mostly 'evil', temptations based on pleasure and pain.
- All or nothing: obey God or end in status 'hell' (all bonus points lost).
- Only a 'moral' player can reach level 'happy life' (obey God or be unhappy)
- All players reach bodily status 'good' or 'evil' just by playing. But only playing with the rules influences their bonus points.
- Player reach status 'Real pleasure' through playing within Gods rules.
- True Friendship or Perfect Friendship can only exist between two God following players.
- Playing virtual 'Reality by God' without God's rules is shit.
- Reaching high matchpoints is seen as 'self-love', it shows the players god-level.
- The end of the game is reaching status 'Divine Happiness' (making zero errors in obeying God; having reached 'Totum Bonum').
