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.

If people cannot accept you as who you are, you have to masquerade.

History repeats itself.

You have modern unethical Christians/Hitlers spawned all the time.

They invent stories to promote hate towards minority groups.

They make sure they make life difficult for happy rainbow people.

Tip for survival: Plausible deniability.

State the facts but don’t commit.

When people try to accuse you, you can say that you never say.

Case in Support of a Biblical Frame of Reference

Let us learn from history.

Why was Galileo imprisoned by the Catholic Church?

Because he was using a new frame of reference in which the Earth moved round the Sun.

The Church was using the frame of reference in which the Sun moved round the Earth.

How could Galileo have done better?

He could have explained how to translate easily between the two frames of references.

Frame of Reference

When you explain things to Christians, you have to use this frame of reference:
That the Bible is absolute truth.

Christians are very forgiving. They will forgive themselves for selectively not taking certain parts of the Bible as absolute truth.

Now, deeply learning from Galileo, we need to explain how ethical principles can be translated easily into the frame of reference in which the Bible is taken as absolute truth.
