[wanita-muslimah] Discussion on Compassion-1

NS: How does the school of compassion view on conflicting ideologies: socialism-communism-capitalism, feminism-patriarchal-chauvinism, secularism-religious conservatism, etc? I read the following on n article: "However, instead of theologies based on liberation, human beings need to be liberated from theologies that enchain their minds.". Could we say that "the act of liberating minds from such theologies" is the act of compassion? Thanks for any discussion.

HG: I will go for that : liberating the mind has to be a very good thing!
I would go another step forward and reach for empathy from within to begin to know compassion... Yes by all means let us liberate the mind from dogma of theology!!! Inevitably theology is reduced to dogma and ideology.

NS: HG, could I rephrase it as follows: emphatically liberating the minds from such theologies is an act of compassion. In effect it says that compassion may present in any ideology as long as it's rooted within empathy?

JH: I think a compassionate person must be as concerned about the means of such "liberation" as they are about assisting in it. One person's liberation can be another's enslavement.

JK: il y a plus de bonheur de donner qu'à recevoir car selon la bible la main qui donne c'est celle qui reçois.

HV: agree with JH and JK. If I believe others need to be liberated from theology, I am not free. Compassion is inclusive, not exclusive. Even the idea that theology is enslavement is itself a theology. And how would we, or better, Who are we to decide which theologies are rooted in empathy and which are not?

SM: But... if religion is based on falsehoods, the arrogance of mankind, and brainwashing.... the mustn't it be compassionate to liberate the mind from that?

The idea that theology is enslavement may be theology. But I think more accurately, dogmatic religions are enslavement, and that in itself is not dogmatic religion.

There is no point in continuing to let someone believe something that is both untrue and destructive.
