PeterJ Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 I would agree that there is no definition of an intentional God that works in logic, and that for many people a God without intention is not a God. But let's give religion some credit for thoughtfulness. Check out the doctrine of Divine Simplicity, or the definition of Tao or Nibbana. Religion without God does not suffer from the problem raised by Dr Rocket. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Cuthber Posted October 22, 2014 Share Posted October 22, 2014 But let's give religion some credit for thoughtfulness. No, let's not. Thought is an intrinsic human trait. On the other hand, organised religion persecutes those who think anything outside their dogma. So, while it may be true that some religions are in favour of thought, it's not a characteristic of religion in general. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
