Theory on religious division

Subject: Theory on religious division Fri Jan 18, 2008 1:39 am

This is my theory for possible religious divisions:

1. "Metaphysic thought"/Spiritualism

Axiom: Regardless of creed, ideology, economical, moral and societal convictions, we believe that "higher plans" exist. We believe on things such as soul and/or a superior being that is above physics or science.

2. Materialism

Axiom: Everything is merely a mixture of substances reacting wit each other, everything's ruled by the laws of physics and chemistry and can be understood and manipulated by science. There's no soul nor superior being above physics.

3. Animalism

Axiom: Regardless of origin or thoughs, humanity is simply a species of super-intelligent animals that should follow the "laws of nature". Consciousness, compassion, fraternity and love are examples of weakness in the character of the individual.

Forgive please the simplicism, I have written this somewhat it a haste since I have to go to work, I'll tryto improve it later Smile

These thoughts greatly influde over our own moral codes. For example, people like me who are spiritualist believe that there is something like the soul something that gives us a strong moral code. Someone more materialist, for whom life is just a chain reaction of diferent chemicals can even argue that moral is just a ridiculous product of deficient chemical reactions within the brain and should be avoided if it obstructs some kind of scientific investigation.

I would put three groups.

1. Rational: A religion based on morals philosophy etc. The people are willing to stand up for what the believe in but are not necessarily radical

2. Irrational: Made by a Sociopath who thinks he/she is the only one who knows the truth and that every one has to follow them, or die.

3. Fake: Made by a false prophet seeking attention example- Some people say that Mormonism is one of these (no offense).
