¿Merecen respeto las creencias religiosas? |
|
| Cita: | To Whomever It May Concern:
When you ask me to respect religion because people believe in it, I want you to remember something. I want you to remember that long ago your ancestors were not Christian or Muslim. They had their own culture and customs native to their heritage. Through military conquest religion spread itself through the Old World, and those distant relatives were faced with a choice: either accept Christianity/Islam or die a painful death. This was how most major religions today achieved their position of respect.
After Europe had been fully indoctrinated, the papal Doctrine of Discovery gave the authority to all good Christians to conquer the native peoples of the New World and claim that land for God and the Church. Millions died mercilessly and were even tortured by Christian heroes like Christopher Columbus.
Now, thousands of years later, when we no longer have to respect these beliefs upon pain of death, we are told that we should respect religion. We are told by those within even the non religious community that we should show respect to these ideas that have gained a place of vaunted privilege in our societies which are built upon the graves of any who dared question or challenge the authority of divine providence.
You think you are being rational. You think you are being reasonable. What you are really doing is propping up the last leg of human slavery to bad ideas and providing intellectual cover for religion to keep a place of honor and respect it never earned.
Please, stop protecting religion in the guise of false humility. Be honest and firm with your beliefs and never expect anyone to respect your ideas unless they earn it, and always be willing to be wrong. That is what it means to be a free thinker.

Claro, todos podríamos estar equivocados.
Señoras flotando en órbita "protegiendo" puntos geográficos específicos desde hace siglos suena medio probable al menos.

La creencia en Dioses, Magias, Duendes y Hadas si merece respeto como principio de igualdad y libertad de creencias.
Lo que si merece todo el desprecio son las religiones que valiéndose de artimañas, ignorancia y miedo se han aprovechado para hacer grandes negocios inmorales...
Dicho de otra manera, es moral que yo en mi intimidad y libertad mental y sin dañar el derecho de terceros crea en Dioses, diablos, brujos, magias etc....
Pero es inmoral que lucre colectivamente con las creencias anteriores...
Saludos!
El que quiera creer que crea... pero jamas debería llevarse entre las patas ni aprovecharse de absolutamente nadie...

Algunas personas piensan que inculcar creencias religiosas es un tipo de abuso infantil. Yo estoy de acuerdo.

México necesita dejar de ser "guadalupano" para finalmente aspirar a progresar.
Ningún país libre y progresista es a la vez profundamente religioso.
Es como aspirar a un abdómen plano y marcado cenando con la señora de las quesadillas diario.

Un pensamiento mecánico que no comprende lo que es el guadalupanismo. Ya lo debatimos, es unicausal mayor guadalupanismo mayor porgreso, menor guadalupanismo menor progreso. No me gustan los reduccionismos pobres.
Con todo respeto sigo viendo obsesiones iconoclástas de los protestantes. Es una reflexión y no una invitación a pelear. Yo prefiero ser mexicano, sinceramente. La mentalidad de que como me va es una señal divina acaba con la masacre de poblaciones enteras como sucedió en la historia de los Estados Unidos.
