Why religion is always so non-tolerant?

Why religion is always so non-tolerant?

Prologue:

Why religion, what suppose to be the thing, what offers stability and peace is causing so much bloodshed? There is one answer for that thing and that is the Catholic church has been captured, and the pope was changed to the person, who used the church supporting that person's purposes.

Then we can ask why we have a religion? The difference between religion and philosophy is very thin. The religion is always offering one answer to the question "what is the purpose of life"? The answer is to live "a good life", and then there is one thing, what people are forgetting, and the question, what they should ask is "what means a good life"?

Who is the thing, who benefit from religion?

What is the purpose of life? Is it serve god, and if we are serving God, we must ask, who else we serve at the same time? So if we even don't try to explain what are God and God's will, we might forget to ask, does the King of the nation just transmit the will of God?

This is one of the biggest questions, that is ever introduced. The need to understand the purpose of existence has sometimes introduced to serve God, but then somebody has asked, does God live in some castle, and why that person would not stop evilness on Earth? For some people, God is the thing, that we should not even try to explain, but otherwise, if the purpose of life is to serve God, where the orders for that thing are coming, and who tells us, how to make that thing?

When we are thinking about the religious leaders, and every other leader, who says that they are "clean", away from the dirt of regular people, that means that giving orders to make things, what are against peaceful people like begin the holy war would be more tolerant than being participant of the field operations. So the person who gives orders to people is above morally and ethically because other people are executing orders, what that person is giving.

That kind of question is difficult, because if the person believes that God is in the side of own army in the mind of some people that justifies everything, what that person does. This kind of way to think is always very dangerous because that justifies the extreme violence.

The answer to the classic question is always depending on the person who answers. If I'm a religious leader the answer would be that we should serve God, and if I'm some leader of Ancient Greece, I could say, that we even should not have to change our position in our society. It's God's will that we have some level in the social pyramid. And the same opinion would have people like Pericles, but if I would be in the lower level of the social pyramid in the position of a slave, I would not agree with the opinions of the leader of the state.

But sometimes we are asking about the philosopher's opinion about that question, what is the purpose of life? That person answers "looking for the truth", but the answer is really interesting because those people would not describe what means the word "truth". The thing is that populists and "wannabe" dictators have always easy solutions for everything. And the use of own brains is always prohibited in the cases because everything is already explained and proven if that thing is supporting our way to see things.

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies?

Could this be the thing, that some people don't want you to know about zombies? The simplest way to control zombies, which are made by using tetrodotoxin, which is called "zombie poison" is to use the automatic dispenser, which is normally used in diabetes treatment. In this case, the dispenser would be loaded by using tetrodotoxin. If the level of this poison is right, the person would be totally under the control of other people. And if the system cannot detect this poison there is a possibility to make the laboratory experiment when the staff will follow the decrease of the tetrodotoxin, and then the system can use a simple clock, which will inject poison to the body of a victim after a certain time. This would be an effective tool in the hands of military and counter-terror operators. Those zombies can be captured enemy operators, who will send back, and then they just kill their ex-partners. By using genetically engineered bacteria could be possible to create t...

Antimatter motor

Antimatter motor Antimatter would be an effective fuel for interstellar spacecraft Antimatter would be the most effective power source in the world. It will be the most suitable motor for interstellar spacecraft, but the problem is that thing is very reactive. And actually one of the biggest problems with this kind of motor is that the gram of antimatter would turn the entire planet to the molecular nebula. So this kind of motor can produce only outside of our solar system. Producing antimatter would need large particle accelerators, and that kind of systems might look like giant donuts, what is floating on the space. There are two ways to create the antimatter motor, one is to store the anti-ions in the magnetic bottle, where the pushing magnetic field will keep those ions away from the wall of the bottle, and then the antimatter would conduct to the water or some other particle. The huge explosion or annihilation reaction would send the rocket to a very high speed. The antimatt...

Who really was Plato, the great philosopher?

When we are thinking about the great philosopher Plato, we are thinking about the man who established the Academy of Athens. And we might remember that this man was a traveler. He traveled in many places in his life and wrote many texts and books, which still is very respected thoughts about the state and other things. When we are looking at the books or series of books, we are facing the thing, that there were lots of texts. If we want to use criticism we must notice that the model of the ideal state is rising the kings in the very high position, and the thing would flatter the kings. And sometimes I have thought that maybe that famous model of the ideal state is written by somebody else. The thing is that the model, where the philosophers rule the state behind the lines of soldiers could be written for the persons like Justinian, who was really flattered. The thing is that this kind of writings was meant for flatter the rulers, who would not persecute philosophers, even they had d...
