This conflict will never end as long as people keep listening to their imaginary friends over the reality in front of them. And each atrocity on both sides simply guarantees the fighting will last for ages longer.
oh's no's someone's invisible friend told them to downvote these heresies lol
The belief in an objective reality is precisely what motivated the crusades, the nakba, and most other genocides. They believed in reality, and they believed their experience of the divine was objectively true for all others. Thus, that their actions were justified.
Peace will only happen when we admit that our perceptions aren't objective. The gods who talk to us in our sleep exist because we believe in them, not because of an external reality. There's no such thing, and admitting subjectivity is the only way to accept differences and make peace.
yeah, I agree they were deranged by deities. fancy way of putting it tho.
ohhhh... aaahh... uhhhm.... NO thanks, you keep your sleepy whisper invisible friends to yourself mate, I'm good
Money is a god. It has no existence in the physical world. In the physical world, it's just paper, common metals, and bytes. But in the social world, it's the arbiter of law, morality, life, and death. It controls all of society. I can't think of a better example of a god.
You may be aware that money isn't truly real, but you still engage in its rituals, live life as it demands. It has become your social reality. We must acknowledge that all things are subjective, so we can destroy them if they do wrong. There is no objective truth, we decide our world.
