| Belief Systems(Religions or non religious beliefs) exist because of the metaphysical realities of human existence and humans environment. We just can't explain somethings so we invent reality through a human lens. Mixed into this is the problem of human morality in a socialized world. Those who live together have to have some ethical and moral behavioral standards or societal chaos results. It seems to me the two often go together.
As long as the tenets of certain human beliefs are not forced on to the masses who cares what others believe is the secret of human existence? Seems to me much more important to have a rule of law and behavioral constraints than to have a religious belief system? I think thats why modern society grows increasingly secular. We realize humanly conceived belief systems can be flawed?
Thus we play the fools with the time, and the spirits of the wise sit in the clouds and mock us. |
