Francis Bacon: Portrait of Innocent X after Velazquez The Discreet Charm (incantation discontinuous) of religion lies largely in its ability to instill self-inconsistency of dreams in supposed to wake up consciences (hence the numbing rituals so common in all religions, chanting, chants, songs monotonous, repetitive prayers, etc..).
While today we consider hasty a conclusion that dreams are disguised realizations of repressed desires, some of the observations of Freud's dream activity and its relationship with the drives were enlightening, and notions like "fusion of opposites" seem especially adequate to explain certain aspects of religious mentality. For religion is not only making the dreams the idea of \u200b\u200ba disembodied life on another level of reality, but also irrational speech.
In dreams anything is possible, and in the most incompatible domains can coexist and even become confused. In the dream world malleable, I can fly, pass through walls, to be simultaneously in several places or participate in an action as I see it from outside, and my father may be alive and dead at the time or be both young and old. Every night we spent several hours in the world of dreams, and no wonder we are so sensitive to his "surrealist." A speech that, suitably adapted to the waking world, can become an effective instrument of domination. And that is precisely what makes religion, which, in return the unconditional submission to its precepts, promises a life free from the disembodied and material attachments, a sweet "Sleep" beyond death (while threatening the rebels with an eternal nightmare). And once accepted the oneiric discourse of religion, for the mind softened, put back into its state of laxity night, nothing is unacceptable. Thus, a just and merciful God supposedly can inflict infinite punishment to be limited as is the man. And though that God is omniscient and knows in advance everything we do, we are free and fully accountable for our actions.
believe in hell, or think that predestination is compatible with free will, is no less insane to accept as absurd as a syllogism: "All even numbers are divisible by two, eight is an even number, eight is not divisible by two." Should we conclude, therefore, that the billions of believers in the world are crazy? As believers, yes. What happens is that, fortunately, very few true believers (and there are many heretics who do not even know they are) the vast majority are "men of little faith," as we recall the scripture itself. The dream thought behind the devotion is a clear example of "thinking discreet, discontinuous, who succumbs intermittently when broken enchantment of religion (which alternates reasonable propositions wildest spells).
is likely that only some mystics and visionaries permanently abandon the "sublime madness of religious delirium, the same way that only a few lunatics really believe in astrology or fortune-telling. As stutterers speak stumbled get most of the believers (of any dogma, not just the religious themselves) are able to think at times, but struggle to articulate a coherent discourse from its scattered moments of lucidity are "tartatontos "thinkers discreet, easy prey for any ideology, any illusion.
At first glance it might seem strange that the discourse of religion is so patently contradictory, but a little to think about it we realize that it could not be otherwise. God must possess all the qualities imaginable in the highest degree, and therefore must be omniscient and omnipotent. But at the same time, the man must be free and responsible for their actions, because otherwise he could not be rewarded or punished for them. And if the punishment inflicted on the "bad" is not eternal, being situated on another plane of reality and sub specie aeternitatis, its deterrent effect would be negligible. If only there was purgatory, not hell, who will stop the idea of \u200b\u200ba vague transitional punishment in the hereafter if you then happen unending happiness? Moreover, only one eternal punishment for "bad" can satisfy the unspeakable (but encouraged by their religion) revenge of the good guys, who would suffer unfairness if the end all, righteous and sinners, ended up together in paradise. So the same religion that preaches love and forgiveness threatens sinners with infinite punishment and the righteous are promised an endless revenge. So there is a dogma that says that God knows in advance what you will do and another that says you're free to do so or not. So God is both infinitely good and infinitely cruel. And only in dreams can be such a fusion of opposites, religion has to become a drug capable of numbing mass by millions of people. The opium of the people.
