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.

Christians can lie.

Christians can cheat.

Christians can hate.

Dear Brothers and Sisters, this should not be so.

All Christians need to go for a course in Ethics and Integrity.

Don’t think that something is right just because you “feel” it is right.

If you think just by reading the bible you have a complete understanding of Ethics and Morality, you are wrong.

Hitler read the bible too, and he sure used it effectively in his propaganda, resulting in the Western Holocaust, the persecution of millions of Jews, Homosexuals, Disabled People etc.

Ethical principles are derived from philosophical analysis, from fundamental universal axioms.

I am a simple man so many philosophical concepts are way above my head.

If you only know one you should know this principle: The Golden Rule:
Do to others what you would want them to do to you.
