How Can We Prevent Another Civil War in the USA?, XXII
In yesterday's blog on a prediction, the prediction will become a reality if the three big Western world religions --- Judaism, Christianity, and Islam --- revise their teachings so that their teachings would be consistent with the modern science of an active God. At this time, all three religions teach scriptural contents, which are inconsistent with modern science and an active God. Thus, all three religions are teaching falsities. The teaching of falsities is an ungodly behavior because such teachings usually lead to wars in which many humans are killed.
In order to correct these awful teachings, religions must accept the truth that all scriptures are man-made writings. Essentially, scriptures are only history books. But these writings are important because they express the thoughts of different persons about God at the time these persons lived. Some of these recorded thoughts are excellent and thus have 'staying power' for teaching. But other recorded thoughts are poor and should not be taught.
Scriptures appeared long ago. So the ancient writers did not know what our linguistics would discover in the 1920s about human languages. These linguists discovered 'symbols,' which are unique to human life. Symbols cannot be compared with the 'signals' used by all lower animals for communications. Symbols are necessary by humans so they can also communicate to each other. But symbols have a second human purpose--- to develop scientific knowledge. However, making symbols for human communications and making symbols for developing scientific knowledge are very different.
Because of the 1920 discovery of symbols, it is not possible to bring the contents of any ancient scripture into modern life without symbolizing these scriptures. Since religions do not symbolize their scriptures, they teach many falsities.
It is now clear that a free nation cannot allow any religion to teach falsities freely. Currently, the lower international rankings of the USA in mathematics, science, and reading is the result of government's ignorance of the philosophy of symbolism, the 1920 discovery, and the lack of symbolizing by religions. To teach scriptures without symbolizing them is to accept the eventual failure of a nation.
