Do you agree with this statement?

Question

The main fault in every religion, every Philosophy, and every ideology that ever existed, is that it is concieved by man, and practiced by man.

Answer 1

yes.. definitely. and that's a very good statement.

the human race, in my opinion, will never agree completely on one thing.. which is why we're always having issues in government, religions..etc..

men vs. men will never mix; man vs. nature might but..

Answer 2

No. The main problem is usually that it excludes the concept of inclusiveness in the rituals and practices.

Shakyamuni already knew this.

Answer 3

Yes

Answer 4

I partly agree, but why do we separate "man" from the rest of Existence/ Universe/God, which no matter what name you call it is one thing, us included?

We are all the same organic material, stars, rocks, humans,etc

And without that illusion of our separate identity, we realize that our every thought and conceived notion is not flawed by humanity, because we are no different than the oneness that is Existence/ Universe/God

The universe has conceived, and is conceiving of itself through us

Answer 5

Absolutely. The truth in every scripture and philosophy is interpreted by man thru the selfish eyes of the flawed man. Ex: Religion is wrong because I think it divides more than unites. People go thru h**l just to figure out that God exists inside of us--not outside of us. Look at the terrorists. I respect cultures and religions because they're so impacting, but I can't bring myself to join their riots.

Answer 6

all philosophies are metaphors for what is real - your undivided experience.

You create your understanding of reality by dividing it up into neat compartments that form a matrix of knowledge.  

A philosophy, be it religious or otherwise, is just someone elses metaphor.

The reality we perceive as a whole is just a matrix of other peoples metaphors for what they each individually experienced.

Its a closed loop feedback system of information.

People described what they experienced and the description became the perceived reality for others who did the same thus adding to the whole and so on and so forth.

Answer 7

sure is

Answer 8

man is by nature imperfect, thus anything conceived by man would also be imperfect. also, even a perfect system run by imperfect people won't function perfectly.

Answer 9

Who else will create it? It can't be an animal, they can't speak a human language.
