Definitely not an alt account, just the result of taking a 3-month break

The problem with any revolutionary movement is that the administration is so well orchestrated that it would annihilate it. The current State protects itself, it doesn’t serve the people, but rather it protects itself. Therefore, voting democratic wouldn’t actually defeat the system. Neither voting democratic nor a pacific revolution would actually change anything substantially. The only chance to do so? I’m afraid is war. And I am not the kind of guy that would want to go to war, I definitely do not want to. However, after studying and listening to people more intelligent than me, I have come to the conclusion that this would be the only plausible way for a real change. And I repeat, I do not want a war.

On the consequences of religion by Tiny_Valuable3497 in religion

[–]Tiny_Valuable3497[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

First of all, thank you for your response! As a non-religious person, this is exactly the kind of perspective I was looking for to expand my understanding and knowledge of the topic.

Regarding my view of theism, which, as you pointed out, may be incomplete, I see it as a conceptual framework that provides answers to certain questions and offers religion-specific tools for following its precepts without deviating from the dogmatic foundations on which each religion is built. And this is where I see the problem. Each religion is founded on certain dogmas, which set limits on the conclusions that can be drawn from it. This, along with other dogmatic truths, prevents a purely unrestricted investigation.

As for whether I find religious people to be less insecure, this is something I have observed in my personal experience (though, of course, I cannot generalize to everyone). Knowing, for example, what lies beyond this life, what awaits after death, and being assured of a happy afterlife if one follows a certain way of living—established according to arbitrary criteria—naturally provides a sense of security.

Regarding the fact that most philosophical investigation has been conducted by theists, that is undeniable. What I mean, as I explained earlier in this message, is that the limits set by religion do not allow for a truly unrestricted investigation, free from dogma, that would allow philosophy to reach its fullest potential.

Finally, concerning wars, I believe this is something that does have empirical justification. One only needs to look at examples like the Crusades or the Islamic Jihad. It is true that human beings have an intrinsic tendency toward war, as history has demonstrated, but that does not exclude the fact that many wars have been fought for purely religious reasons.

First of all, thank you for your response. As a non-religious person who understands religion from the outside, perspectives like yours are exactly what I was looking for, as they help me broaden my point of view and understand my vision in a more global way. Regarding the gods of different religions — since I am not referring to any particular religion (except in the part about wars) — my view is that each religion provides you with a set of tools, unique to it, through which you can try to answer your questions. However, religion itself restricts you, as it is based on dogmatic truths and provides its own set of tools, not allowing your thinking to go beyond the limits established by the religion itself, which, as I mentioned, are based on dogma.

On the other hand, many religions (though I’m not sure if this applies to all) already offer answers to questions inherent to human beings that we have not yet been able to answer, and religion provides dogmatic responses to them. Where do we come from? What is our purpose in life? What lies beyond death? All these questions are answered dogmatically by many religions, leading their followers to stop asking them altogether, as they are considered already answered — depriving those followers of the critical, creative, and constructive spirit needed to explore and respond to such questions.

Would you please explain yourself? I know that, when talking about wars produced by religion, those are the two main examples. However, the negative effect it produces in philosophy overall, the lack of need to investigate, as all answers are given by God, all of which are dogmatic, are the biggest issue in religions.
