Determine whether a religion is right or obedient, and after all, it should still return to rationality.This is consistent with the underlying logic of a civilized society, and it is also the virtue of the different cultural traditions that can be harmonious and coexist in harmony and peaceful dialogue.
Bret Weinstein, a professor of evolutionary biology in the United States, recalled an experience in Africa in Africa in the 1990s in the 1990s.He and his wife went to the local house as a guest. When chatting at the dinner table, Wanestein, a liberal, inadvertently revealed that he did not believe in God.Unexpectedly, the owner's family who lived under the influence of the Western colonialism culture was shocked. They believed that God believed that unbelieving the Lord is equivalent to no morality, because moral precepts originated from the creator, and the morality became the root of the roots.Essence
A few days ago, four kindness women came to work at home, and suddenly came to spread the gospel.One of them asked me if I believed in the creator, I answered a letter, but did not say that it was purely based on the lack of deserved religious emotions based on rationality.She then asked my religious beliefs, and I answered Buddhism.She was puzzled. Because I was in a hurry to go to the online meeting, I had to abandon in -depth discussions such as "the five aggregates", and simply answered that it was a family tradition.She said happily that she also saluted her ancestors, and then gave me the leaflets and materials that he preached, and asked the contact information to leave.
Watch the inaugural ceremony of Prime Minister Huang Xuncai and the new cabinet on the Internet, and noticed that many cabinet members held the Bible while oath.An equally sensitive senior came to a list with SMS afterwards, which specifically list which 16 oaths have Christian faith.When I answered, I hurriedly wrote: "I am worried about being overkill. This cabinet poured the baby with the bath water. Even the basic moral bottom line dare not persist, I am afraid of being criticized as the religious value.The place is overlapping "
Singapore's constitutional system inherits the British colonial government. Although it essentially emphasizes the principle of separation of political and religious separation, it cannot be denied that British political culture originated from Christian civilization.The personal rights and freedoms emphasized by the Da Chances, and everyone is equal in front of the law. It is based on the core assumptions of all people who are the people of God.EssenceHowever, Singapore is a diversified religious society after all. Although Christianity value is a rational product. For the political considerations of the unity and harmony of the people, it should still be diluted to allow the secular value of other religions to tolerate other religions.
When I was a kid, my elders' rejection of the gospel of Christians has formed my prejudice over the years.Starting from the underlying cultural tradition of the Chinese, the ancestors of Chongli are a religious feeling of drinking water.The church refused to worship or eat tribute, which will inevitably cause a strong dislike of forgetting the ancestors.When I grew up, I saw a wide range of religious forms. Although it would stimulate the doubts and even fear of paganism, it was judged whether a religion was a righteous faith or a blind obedience. After all, it should still return to reason.This is consistent with the underlying logic of a civilized society, and it is also the virtue of the different cultural traditions that can be harmonious and coexist in harmony and peaceful dialogue.Many scholars and nobles who were familiar with the four books and five classics in the Ming Dynasty. If they cooperated with Matteo Ricci to translate the geometric Xu Guangqi, the reason why they accepted the baptism was also due to the rational cognition and conviction of doctrine.
The reason why Christian faith is based on rationality is that more and more contemporary natural science discovery and theories are pointed to the possibility of cannot be ruled out.This is not without Western natural sciences to return to tradition.In 2005, the Royal Society of Britain elected "the most influential person in the history of science" Newton, which was unplugged: "Gravity explains the movement of the planet, but it cannot explain who let the planet move.Do what you can do.In short, the exploration and research of natural sciences on all things is first to prove the existence of God.
The Royal Society of the United Kingdom still enjoys the status of the world's scientific community. It held a meeting in November 2016 to review the theoretical effectiveness of New Darwinism.GED B Müller, a well -known Austrian scholar in the theory of Biological theory, proposed several "commentary deficits" of contemporary evolution theory at the meeting, including the Cambrian explosion.Darwin, who believes that life is gradually evolving from simplicity to complexity, "from never leaping", also acknowledged in the origin of species: "This matter has not been explained so far."Because the fossil records show that the Cambrian more than 500 million years ago, a large number of high -class creatures suddenly emerged, but lacked evidence of their evidence.
These scientific and theoretical disputes are of course far from reality and politics.However, it originated from believing that the creator creates the universe, and people are created according to the image of God. Therefore, they have to understand the rationality created by the owner, and therefore produce a system of ethics. Obief the law is just like obeying moral precepts -although its fake hand is on the hand in hand -although its fake hand is on the hand in handThe formation of human reason, but the ultimate authority comes from God, and the political meaning cannot be ignored.When the minister sworn in the job, it is not difficult to understand when "God's testimony".After all, anyone vowed to resort to higher authority, and Chinese traditionally refers to the sky.Compared to "Swear", the "Affling" vow of the secular statement, resorted to itself, rather than the authority of the individual, among which the severity is self -evident.
Of course, "Caesar's return to Caesar, God's return to God", especially in a diverse society like Singapore, is still the most rational political principle.But as the African owner's family is worried about Waynestan's family, complying with the reasons for morality and law, traditionally comes from the rational authority of transcendence.In a secular society, this is easy to fall into the predicament of sincerity.For example, the deepening of sexual behaviors of men, and objection to religious precepts, it is impossible to persuade most people.
"Knowing me. If you know me. If the raft is metaphorically, the law should be given up. Not to mention illegal", Confucianism "son is not strange and chaotic", all respect the rationality, the relationship between God's belief and modern science, perhaps maybeIt can be temporarily stored, regardless of the guidance of rationality in a diverse society. Behind the rationality, there is no transcendence significance to return to the sect, and to formulate policies that meet the interests of the most people, and resist any ideological dogma disputes.Because any public decision -making that affects everyone, if you allow legal casinos, in addition to calculating gains and losses, it is inseparable from right or wrong moral judgment -must maximize the "gain", and the minimization of "evil" to minimize the "evil" to minimizeIn the meantime, the best balance.This may be the compromise we can accept.
