Oddbean new post about login | logout In the Hypothetical-Durkheimian sense, there’s no religion that isn’t a cosmology at the same time speculation on the Divine providence! Religion is inspired by the simultaneity of determination & indeterminacy by the need for contingency! We don't have to respect religions as we have to respect people. Asking that the two be equivalent is a filthy manipulation to go back to the 19th century & crime of blasphemy...
Where did this comment come from? > We don't have to respect religions as we have to respect people. Why must we respect people, and why does that not include their religion?
Exactly, that’s the impression it gives me when non-religious people want to silence those who dare to oppose different religions. By doing so, they think they’re on the side of tolerance, while they’re complicit in oppression from religions… I realize that religion has always been a highly political body, which hasn’t been able to apply the deep truths of the laws of Nature to the moral needs of humanity. Gurus are powerless to understand ancient science & secret of Mysteries. https://image.nostr.build/3ac72cc350ed1ff4eaa92846587e6cd6bd3fa4e39e17c398235d8bba7111380d.jpg
