Chapter 26

Comparison of the state of religion and science

Essenceism advises seekers of greater knowledge of God not to enter into polemics with religious concepts that go back thousands of years. Theologians associated with the teaching heritage of such figures as Buddha, Muhammad and Jesus Christ are arguing not about how to save our world from evil, but about which of these creators of religion had a greater influence on the history of the world. Most of the content in any theological work is devoted to the description as it was discussed before, even in antiquity. Then the authors add some of their interpretation, and so religion has been feeding us for centuries with the same views. For example, do not expect anything special from any theologian explaining the content of the Koran. He will make it to our head that the Koran is the most holy book in the world, just as Christian theologians put it to people's mind that the Bible is written by the inspiration of God himself. One must always take into account the fact that it is an age-old trend to keep people under the control of their religion.

From time immemorial, most religions have created a peaceful and prosperous place in societies. Their clergy do not have to worry about meeting the basic needs of everyday life. They have churches built by the faithful, they live in well-equipped residences, their hierarchs occupy palaces, and monasteries provide places to live and pray.

With all this, religions can accomplish their mission quite easily. They inherit their place in society from their predecessors without any problems, so they can easily persuade their faithful to wait for their god to decide on their future. Some religions even say that their god knows the future perfectly, he predicts everything in advance, so you don't have to worry about anything. It is enough only to agree to his will, which is presented to them by priests. They themselves, at this time, limit their activities to the comfort of their faithful, who obediently wait for what their god will do.

At a time when religions proclaim stagnation, the rest of the world is moving forward. Especially the young generation rebels against the current situation. They don't like passivity and regression taught by religions. So, they reject the religious vision of the world and focus more on current affairs. Besides, this religious vision of the world is being replaced by science.

Of course, science, like everything in our world, is defective, but it moves forward, it improves the world, although it indirectly participates in keeping it in a bad moral condition. No one can't help it yet. However, when you are a scientist, you are constantly looking for new, revolutionary solutions so that people understand reality better. Scientists do not need to know what Moses, Buddha or Muhammad said. Alternatively, they can take the good advice of the greatest hero of mankind, Jesus Christ, who asked people to seek and find, ask and receive, research and discover the latest solutions. Fortunately, today no one is burning them at the stake and forcing you to recall your views. Now you can be a non-believer scientist and still fulfill your mission without worrying about any god or existing religions.
