RELIGIOUS DILEMMAS - THE SCOURGE OF RELIGIOUS OPPRESSION AND THE NEED TO FREE HUMANS FROM IT.. PART 14.











'...We should use new facts and scientific data to study and analyse what we have been told about 'God' and our religions. 

And not use our religions and received data about 'God' to interpret the new and empirical knowledge. Putting the inanimate 'cart before the living horse', as it were...'


And even where the asking of such questions might be considered reasonable or tolerated.  

The assumption is that 'there are no answers to them', or that only the prescribed answers are acceptable to the religious establishment. 




Now, it is not, and should not be the modus operandi of contemporary humans that we necessarily accept that there is only one answer for any phenomena.  

Unless such a position is informed by, or predicated upon scientific enquiry. This is one of what we might call the 'uninaliable rights' of us humans. 

That we should not take anything for as a given, unless it is something like the fact that, if it lives, then it, we, will surely die at some point. 

To be continued!
