is a system that condemns scrutiny inherently evil?

Question

please give actual answers with reasoning, and don't drop to a level of name calling like the second answer did

I mean the third answer used the name calling arguement

Answer 1

Not only inherently evil. Inherently ignorant. A system such as a specific religion or political group that condemns scrutiny does so to keep those subjected to them ignorant, and therefore, powerless. Only a system which encourages open scrutiny can be corrected. Humans have a tendency to cheat and lie, and whenever we are told that we ask too many questions, or that questions are forbidden, we run the risk that we are being ruled or taught by cheaters and liars. Socrates lived in such a society. His teachings were based on the dialectic method, which is basically questions and answers. He was condemned for it. I know a certain religion where asking questions may bring an accusation of "no faith" on the part of the questioner. Intelligent people look very closely at who is governing them, teaching them, feeding them, and leading them.
