Would it be right to say, that historically religion is more rooted in society than philosophy?
<<>>
If the World's oldest religions began between 4500 and 3000 years B.C.E. But Philosophy came into the world only after 650 B.C.E. would it be right to say, that historically religion is more rooted in society than philosophy? Why?
This might sound a little weird coming from a believer in Christ but I do think that religion as we know it – ancient as it may be – is man made. Though the Creator exists and did create the world in His image the organized religions on the planet of today that follow the man made scripted cannons of late are just that . . . man. These individualistic religious creations in turn produce followers to reorganized truths orchestrated in a way that furthers the religions agendas not the Creators. Though I believe that the emotional connection one has with the Creator is real and pure, as well as one’s personal understanding of how the Creator created life, love, and faith is paramount to true clear religious perception – I think that as people began to see the true nature of the organized religious machine philosophy was then created to explain the developing discontent with society.
Being that religion was so rooted in the structure of life, as people choose to disconnect themselves with the group explanations of creation and salvation – the human model was investigated – and schools of philosophical thoughts emerged. Just as religious foundations exploded all over the world at different speeds and from different pools of culture so did philosophy. As different philosophers tackled different cultural rifts and human tendencies different philosophical models emerged.
Personally I think that as people become secure in their own religious beliefs they see the cohesiveness of self study and communal acceptance versus the modern characteristic of religion that attracts those seeking self acceptance and communal study.
***Food for Thought – Is your philosophy on life based on your experiences in society or your religious preference?
