３ 宗教がないと善悪が分からない方が危険だろ
TITLE
「 Isn’t it more dangerous if people can’t tell right from wrong without religion? 」
海外では宗教が道徳や倫理の基本になってると聞いている。
宗教が人としての聖者善悪を教えてると。
だから宗教が無いと聞いて、
「どうやって善悪を教えてるんだ？」
と疑問を持つとか。
これがおかしい。
善悪など教わるような事なのか？
何が良くて何が悪いなんて、なんで宗教に頼るんだ？
国や民族や文化の違い？
違いがあっても人ならばほぼ同じ善悪基準を持つだろうに。
騙すな。
貶すな。
盗むな。
壊すな。
傷つけるな。
殺すな。
こういった事は集団で生きているなら絶対に発生すると思うのだが。
これが無いのか？
無いから宗教に頼る？
じゃあ、宗教で善悪を知る者達は危険ではないか。
だって善悪が分からないのだから。
そんな人間、宗教があろうがなかろうが危険ではないのか？
だとしたら宗教がない時代、人はどうやって善悪を判断してたんだ？
善悪が分からなければ人は集団を作れるわけがない。
それなのに宗教が生まれる前から人は集団を作っていた。
つじつまが合わない。
こういう所からも宗教の必要性が疑わしくなる。
むしろ、これが無い方がよっぽど人は幸せではないかとすら思う。
This is the English version translated using GROK.
The translation might slightly change the meaning, but if that happens, the original Japanese is the correct one.
I’ve heard that overseas, religion is basically the foundation of morality and ethics.
They say religion teaches people what’s good and what’s evil.
So when they hear that someone has no religion, they immediately ask,
“How do you even know what’s right and wrong?”
That question itself is weird to me.
Why do you need to be *taught* good and evil?
Why rely on religion to tell you what’s good and what’s bad?
Is it because of differences in country, ethnicity, or culture?
Even if there are differences, as long as you’re human, the basic sense of right and wrong should be pretty much the same, right?
Don’t lie.
Don’t put others down.
Don’t steal.
Don’t destroy stuff.
Don’t hurt people.
Don’t kill.
These kinds of rules are bound to come up whenever people live in groups.
Are they really missing without religion?
Do people need religion because they don’t have these basics?
If that’s the case, then aren’t the people who only know good and evil *because* of religion the dangerous ones?
They don’t actually understand it themselves — they just follow what religion tells them.
Whether they have religion or not, that kind of person sounds risky.
And if that’s true, how did people judge right and wrong before religion even existed?
If humans couldn’t tell good from bad, they could never have formed groups in the first place.
But people were already living in societies long before any religion was born.
It just doesn’t add up.
This is exactly why I doubt religion is really necessary.
In fact, I sometimes think people might actually be happier *without* it.
