Re: Moral Mind Science
Witchdr,
i know you addressed psyah, but, i would like to say that religion is a very personal aspect of any human being, no matter how much organized and communal an affair you would like it to be, it has only one source - the piety in the link between oneself and the Maker.
no third being can vounch for the honesty in the religiousness of any given soul, good or bad, but the Almighty.
when someone really knows a person through her /his actions as religiously abiding by principles and morals encouraged or prescribed by a given religion, that is different and it has the purpose of serving as a witness to the individual's credence.
maybe, i am not absolutely correct in stating this, but i would still like to see that religion can be a science, a method preceded by a statement, and followed by its results.
all factors that we take into account in scientific inquiry do apply to religion and following it. testing, warning, improving, eliminating, keeping, repeating so on and so forth.
both science and religion are capable of peace and life construction.
best,
Dushwari
Peace psyah,
Interesting aspect. For me, curbing something is not a solution. If science had not progressed, is there any evidence that there would have been less killings in this world? There had been wars even when there was little scientific development.
On the same note, should religion be curbed because it has been one of the major causes of wars and destruction throughout history.
