Nu pot sa cred intr-un dzeu a carei existenta e bazata pe o carte veche de mii de ani, plina de contradictii si care e interpretata ca si cuvantul lui dzeu, cu toate ca nici nu se stie cine a scris-o. Mai mult decat atat, cei ce au scris-o erau religiosi, deci subiectivi.
De asemenea, cum zice si demiurgos mai sus, nu pot sa cred ca dzeu e iubitor, atata timp cat in VT e razbunator, gelos, violent si indeamna la genocid.
De asemenea, desi in NT tonul se schimba, si Isus apare cu un approach mai pacifist, mi se pare ciudat ca sursele istorice despre Isus sunt extrem de subtiri (intr-o epoca in care romanii tineau insemnari administrative, etc), iar in afara de biblie, povestea invierii nu e coroborata cu nici o alta sursa istorica.
Deci, pentru mintea mea de sceptic, sunt mult prea multe semne de intrebare pentru ca sa pot crede in dzeul biblic. Mai mult, religia a avut 1500 de ani la dispozitie sa arate ca e solutia pentru o societate mai buna, si a esuat, dupa parerea mea.
Progresele societatii au avut loc in cea mai mare parte in ultimii 250 de ani, adica fix de cand Biserica s-a separat incet-incet de Stat, si stiinta a inceput sa poata lucra independent de Biserica. Si daca ne bucuram de libertati care acum 300 de ani erau imposibile, asta e datorita valorilor seculare, nu celor religioase.
Adaug un citat care imi place mult din Bertrand Russell, care explica destul de bine cum vad eu treaba asta cu religia. Cine are nevoie de traducer, sa imi spuna, si il scriu si in romana.
If I were to suggest that between the Earth and Mars there is a china teapot revolving about the sun in an elliptical orbit, nobody would be able to disprove my assertion provided I were careful to add that the teapot is too small to be revealed even by our most powerful telescopes. But if I were to go on to say that, since my assertion cannot be disproved, it is intolerable presumption on the part of human reason to doubt it, I should rightly be thought to be talking nonsense. If, however, the existence of such a teapot were affirmed in ancient books, taught as the sacred truth every Sunday, and instilled into the minds of children at school, hesitation to believe in its existence would become a mark of eccentricity and entitle the doubter to the attentions of the psychiatrist in an enlightened age or of the Inquisitor in an earlier time.
