Philosophy is questions that may never be answered. Religion is answers that may never be questioned?

Question

Discuss

Well EXCUUUUUUUUSE me for not asking strictly in form of a question....what is this, Jeopardy?

What part of "discuss" was over your heads?

Answer 1

I agree with you....Religion prefers to tell a person what to believe, rather than answer questions about their faith. I guess that's part of why "faith" is required. The logical mind is not respected in some religions.

Answer 2

I disagree. Philosophers have raised many perplexing questions--what's the worldwide like? how will all of us understand it? how ought to we live? how ought to we set up ourselves. Philosophy additionally materials solutions. It does so via utilising reason and good judgment to the situation and in seek of an answer. "Philosophy: Who desires It?" via Ayn Rand is an astonishing essay speaking approximately what philosophy is, why that is needed, and why all human beings needs to apply it. Religions make assertions, yet there is room for question to an volume. All techniques have an inner middle and outer, peripheral techniques. The peripherals can continually be questioned and the two altered or discarded without affecting the interior middle. case in point, a individual can question how a ritual must be performed or how a congregation must be recommended, and might gain this without affecting the interior middle of ideals very lots. the interior middle oftentimes can not be questioned directly, notwithstanding some components may be altered somewhat if the peripheral techniques substitute extensively sufficient, and then basically over an prolonged path of time. The background of "heresies" that arose interior the church is one occasion of this, wherein possible-middle techniques have been challenged on the muse questioned peripheral techniques.

Answer 3

Disagree, totally.
Yes, philosophy is almost by definition a way to question and learn about our very being and how we got here, among many other things.
Religion never being questioned, true for most Christians and Muslims.
However many other religions are not as set in stone. My religion IFA, of course has many non negotiable beliefs and ways of doing things. But each situation in life would probably be handled differently by different people to be case specific.
Religions with too much written word, allow less room for questions and ideas of thought.

Answer 4

Well the bible warns of false prophets, and you have alot of religions that claim they're a part of christianity, but have incorporated alot of pagan rites into their practices and honor things that have pagan roots, so yes you better question what you hear, and see if it can be backed up and not by someone spouting a whole bunch of rhetoric, that doesn't pertain to the question you're asking

Answer 5

I've answered many philosophical questions, though the answers may or may not be correct.

As for religious answers, I have questioned many of them; though my questions may or may not be correct.

So what exactly are you getting at?

There's one religious answer that is really weird. You can get saved and you can get a guarantee with that, and you can still sin. I questioned that one, why?

Cause Satan likes that one. He wants people to think they are saved; and a little sinning, enough to get them into hell, won't bother them. Whereas, Jesus said, he that endureth unto the end the same shall be saved. You can get saved on Judgment Day. But the sins you sinned, thinking you were saved, may prevent that.

Answer 6

...and in English, a sentence is not a question just because it has a question mark?

Anyway, philosophy is letting you use your own thinking and your brain. Religion is trapping you into someone else's thoughts and beliefs. Then you don't think for yourself. You are told not to think for yourself and actually "scared" into this by threats of eternal damnation.

Answer 7

Aye, but isn't the man who chooses the bad in some way better than the man who has the good forced upon him?

Answer 8

This is the exact same question the heretics asked- guess what happened to them?!

Answer 9

Many philosphical questions have been answered...and though many religions have been proven wrong over time, God never has.

Answer 10

And faith is just faith.

God doesn't mind questions. That's called prayer.
