Religious Persecution and Happy Utility Functions

Religious Persecution

Some people use religious texts to justify hate crimes. The religious texts could include but are not limited to the Bible’s Old Testament / New Testament / Final Testament, the Deuterocanonical texts, the Torah/Tanakh/Mishnah/Talmud/Midrash/Kabbalah, the Quran/Fatwa/Sharia/Hadith, the Ancient Buddhist/Hindu/Tibetan/Gnostic/Illuminati/Mormon/LDS/New Age/Sutras/Vedas/Apocrypha/Taoist/Confucian scriptures etc. You see, it is up to the reader’s interpretation. He will use it for his own benefit. If he is an evil person, he will use religious texts for evil means.

I would like to give credit to religions that respect all life forms. An example would be Buddhism. You can see that followers of Buddhism did not harm people because of simply who they were or what they believed in. They (the evil ones) harmed people in order to increase their own self interest.

In religions that devalue certain life forms, evil people harmed other people simply because of who they were born to be or what they believed in.

The principle of Buddhism can thus be seen in a favourable light. A Buddhist Christian can also be called an Ethical Christian.

Happy Utility Functions

I would like to identify three happy utility functions:

  • Health
  • Wisdom
  • Love

Health is a function of how much you eat, how much you exercise, and how much you sleep.

In the Game Theory of Life, you maximize your own utility functions. Each person seeks his/her own self-interest.

Now for the definition.

A utility function is happy if you can have as much as you want without sacrificing the utility functions of other beings.

Why do I call it happy? The reason is because if everyone maximized these utility functions, this would result in the greatest happiness for all people.

It is a universal optimization.

Parable of Cinderbella – End Intolerance – Celebrate Diversity

The Parable of Cinderbella and the Unrighteous Hospital

Cinderbella had received news that pets have mysteriously gone missing at an infamous pro bono animal hospital.

She decided to bring her pet dog to test the hospital.

The dog had a shard of glass in its foot and needed treatment.

At the hospital, Doctor Who 72 took pity on her dog and nursed it to good health.

The other people in the hospital were not so kind. When Cinderbella and Doctor Who 72 were not aware, they stole the dog and cooked it.

Then they snatched Cinderbella’s slippers and threw them out of the door, showering her with a thousand vulgar expletives, while Doctor Who 72 tried to defend her. The men even tried to rape Cinderbella.

Cinderbella revealed her true colours. She said to the men, “I am and angel. In response to your inhospitality, arrogance, and violence, you shall be reduced to ashes. Only Doctor Who 72 would be saved. Come with me, Doctor Who 72.”

She led Doctor Who 72 out of the hospital while all the other people were reduced to ashes.

Multiple Choice Question:

Why did Cinderbella reduce the people in the infamous pro bono animal hospital to ashes?

A: Because of their inhospitality, arrogance, and violence.

B: Because they raped Cinderbella, thereby outraging the modesty of angels.

C: Because they ate an animal that walks on all fours and has paws, forbidden by the Book of Eli.

Please write your answer in the comments.

End Intolerance

Romans 14:1-4 As for the one who is weak in faith, welcome him, but not to quarrel over opinions. One person believes he may eat anything, while the weak person eats only vegetables. Let not the one who eats despise the one who abstains, and let not the one who abstains pass judgment on the one who eats, for God has welcomed him. Who are you to pass judgment on the servant of another? It is before his own master that he stands or falls. And he will be upheld, for the Lord is able to make him stand.

Celebrate Diversity

Biodiversity, a simple word with some very broad reaching implications. Biodiversity, when split into it’s component parts, “Diversity” defined as “a range of different things.” and bio meaning “life”, quite simply means “A Diversity of Life”. It has been shown that ecological niches with good biodiversity flourish and are healthy.
