Problem with religion

[syed putra]

SOCIETY IS DOOMED WHEN THE EDUCATED LISTEN TO THE UNEDUCATED​

I have said this many years ago in this blog. And I received a response from a friend who by coincidence I met just yesterday (and with whom I spent the whole day).
Today is Friday. Throughout the world hundreds of millions of Muslim men will be attending Friday sermons. This will include the most educated, the most intelligent and important people in their lands.
It is most likely that for about an hour or less they will be listening to some preacher or prayer leader who will be far less educated than them. Or perhaps not educated at all. Even if they are "trained" (I fear to use the word education) they would have been "trained" in some you-cannot-ask-questions type of institution. And in many parts of the world the pesantrens, the madrassa and even the pondoks which train these preachers may not have running water or electricity. Conditions will be basic.




The counter argument is that there are other such institutions that are modern and well equipped. Indeed so but their level of "training" will be exactly the same. 'No-questions -asked' indoctrination.

Religion is for people who are afraid to go to hell.

Spirituality is for people who have already been there.

Same kind of problem when a low-IQ race worships a pedo god.

The clash between education and religious beliefs can be challenging. Yet, diversity in perspectives is what makes societies rich. Speaking of perspectives, have you seen Christian Walls artwork? It beautifully embodies Christian beliefs, offering a visual representation of faith. Art often speaks to universal values, transcending educational backgrounds, sparking conversations that unite rather than divide.

Only when u are educated and well learn, then we can think how to beat Great Satan at his own game

Diversity is crucial for being inclusive society and cross functional teams
