Quote by: Athena  Once again, I plead of a philosophy and science forum, separate from philosophy and religion, so that everyone understands the discussions are scientific in nature, not religious. That said the subject of this thread is human nature, and all the problems we manifest when we hold a false belief about creature and human nature.
The false belief is that God created humans as we know humans today, beautiful, thinking creatures, very much like angels. Satan is a fallen angel right? so even when we are bad, we are these angels. This is a false understanding of our nature, and what makes us like humans as we expect them to be, and from there, we make a mess of everything. |
I really liked your article when you first posted it, but I already agreed with it so I didn't say anything. Its amazing how thin the difference is between us and animals, and how mutable the human brain is.
I also think that religion and philosophy should be two separate topics. Philosophical debates do frequently reference religious ideas, but so do many of the science and political debates.
