List the harmful effects of religion ?
#4
RE: List the harmful effects of religion ?
Strattosphere -

I believe that there is no such thing as death. You believe that there is, and that there is only 1 life, and 1 death.

From that :

I believe that whatever I do now affects my next life, and therefore, there are consequences for any evil thing that I might do. You believe that you can do evil and that it doesn't matter as there are no consequences.

From that :

I am careful not to do evil. You aren't.

From that :

I'm not dangerous. You are.



See what I did there? I took my and your initial view, and then followed on from it. In doing so, I accurately described my true, individual, views on doing evil, and I lied about yours. Here's another example, in reverse :



I believe that I can do evil, and it doesn't matter as I'll always get another chance. You take great care to only do good, as your only life is all you have, so you may aswell be the best that you can be.

From that :

I'm dangerous. You're not.


This could be done all day. All you have to do is start with the initial view, and go in one direction after another. Which one is true? It depends on the individual. What you're doing is taking one very specific combination and claiming it to apply to all who hold the initial view.
