Religion provides many with a sense of community and meaning
its just another money earning branch from the capitalist
and so long as they dont regress into right wing intolerance
Sometimes. Being anti religion wont solve much
in germany the priests buy their own sport cars and villas from church tax
Yes that is clearly corrupt
but allowing freedom of religion is important
and we must remember religion does do good things
socialism was born out of christianity in many ways
Islam saw scientific revolutions
a world in which everybody would have a sense of community without religion, would be the best. this is one goal we have to reach with communism
Thats a very complex goal
People need meaning for existence beyond communism
Not all.
But many.
And thats okay
there is scienes, which is way more credible than religion
Science in its current state has become anti philosophy
they could believe in papa stalin
The vision of science promoted by dawkins and that crowd is quite right wing
They see the universe as purely random. Meaning impossible.etc
Thats not science thats philosophy and poor philosophy at that
you cant explain the universe exactly in a scientistic way
the problem is, that there are only theories
Look at buddhism
they say you must experience the universe to understand its meaning
but in my opinion they are way more credible than religion or philosophy. thats to abstract for me
We need meaning
To deny meaning, to say that ultimately our existence is a biochemical fluke
is reductionism
the meaning is in a dimension, we are not able to view
So religions as silly as they can be let people have some meaning
it is the capitalists who push this anti philosophy science - consumption is meaning
and if its not that its prosperity theology - jesus wants you to consume
These are enemies of the working classs
Furthermore we should see modern psychology as a central tool of capitalism
Alienation and anxiety are the main conditions of life under this system. Not a lack of serotonin or individual fault.
This is pure propaganda
Revolution is going to hurt.
@Nicholas91 Jesus didn't want you to fall into consumerism, if he did, it woulden't make sense as to why he would be so humble, and small, when compared to what was going on around him.
