Why People Use Violent To Defend Truth?
I like Math.
Unlike Math, life is confusing. So many things are suspicious. Moreover, unlike Math, people don’t seem to see the difficulty.
When I have problems with Math, people tend to understand that this stuff is tough and explain it to me kindly.
Yet, so many things in life are suspicious. When I question it, people would say that I was the most stupid people on earth that don’t even know stuffs.
Why people defend truth by censorship and violence?
That doesn’t seem like the way to find truth. Imagine if you’re a judge. Some witness come and say that the defendants are guilty. But other witnesses belief the defendants are not guilty.
So you ask the prosecutors’ witness. Where are the defendants’ witness? The prosecutors say that he killed all the defendants witness to defend truth and justice.
He also said that he destroy all evidences that may deceive you as the judge, from concluding heretical opinions that the defendants are innocent.
There is a reason why we don’t have that case around. What would you do to that kind of prosecutors?
What about the other way around. Many defendants want to kill key witnesses. Do you think defendants that do that are innocents?
But that’s what organized religions do. There are many versions of Bible and books. Catholic churches burn them all. The church also slaughtered the gnostic.
There are many version of Quran, and Ali burn most of them.
Can you trust modern religious interpretors? Can you trust conclusions made by destroying evidences and killing those with different beliefs?
To me, why people defend truth with violence is not obvious. Most apologetic explanation raises even more confusion an suspicion.
However, we have the Math of life. We have something like math that can consistently explain life’s phenomena in ways that make sense.
It’s called science. The math of inanimate object is Physics, which you’re all familiar with.
The math of life is evolution theory. That one is heavily censored.
It’ll be too long to explain, how it works. You can check it in my website at http://genepoolsurvivalguide.com
I’ll give a brief explanation to the question I was asking.
Why people defend truth by censorship and violence? They don’t defend truth. They defend opinions that serve their interests. Moreover, such opinions are usually false. Real truths don’t need that kind of protection.
If some people draw offending caricature against globalization or capitalism, how many businessmen like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, will get offended and demand restriction of freedom of speech against such cartoons?
Free market works. There is no need to defend it with violence.
Speak in Jesus era that the Pharisees are hypocrites. Speak in middle age Europe that the Pope is wrong in thinking that the sun circle the earth. Speak in Tokugawa era Japan that Amaterasu Omikami don’t even exist, let along have descendants.
Speak in Russia during Lenin that communism doesn’t work. Tell Indonesian during Suharto era that Suharto is a dictator. Or draw any cartoons, or make any movies suggesting that the founder of Muslim religions might have something to do with suicide bombing, freedom oppression, and women subjugation. Chance is you’ll die.
Of course, those who defend their opinions through violence will not going to honestly say that they do so out of selfish interests. To gain credibility they’re going to say that they defend truth.
How can what they defend is true? Faith. Discussion end.
