How do practical, logical,
objective, calculated decisions compare to preached, religious moral,
principles?
I’ve come to the perceived idea that
they are almost equivalent in result and effect from a general point of view.
The general principles of religion tend to be aligned with rational and logical
decision making from my experience. It depends on your interpretation of
religious principles, but I’m basing this theory on a lot of what I’ve learned
about general Christian principles formed by following the Bible.
The basic general principles based
off of the Bible could be summarised as treat others kindly –as you would want
to be treated. From this, many scenarios with many variables can be handled.
The same scenarios and factors of variables would be handled the same way if
the method of action was led by logical calculation. A Christian would tell the
truth despite the chance to gain something, just as a robot programmed to make
logical calculated decisions likely would. It would theoretically calculate the
requirements of a presumably equivalent being, to be equivalent, and therefore
no reason to alter the possession of a positive element, from 1 being to
another of equivalent value. This general perspective of equation evaluation
can be applied to many scenarios and circumstances of variables, just like the
basic moral of Christianity. This equationalistic view is the extreme of
objective decision making, and therefore likely a good comparison –as comparing
the most extreme of 2 terms is likely to show the most extreme differences.
Taking either of these basic generalised principles, the result will theoretically
be the same when applied to many life discrepancies. Examples which I have analysed
would be; contribution, judgement, pride and honesty.
In any case, it seems principles of
logical practicality are in essence, the same as principles of religious
preaching.
