Begin with the self-interest of religion

The self-interest of religious morality is mainly based on the expectations and goals of individual believers. Egoism about religious morality has two meanings. One is that people's concern for one's own destiny and love for oneself is the desire to pursue happiness. The other is that this concern for fate is manifested as a departure from purpose. Each religion, in its own unique form, pays attention to the problems of life, cares about the destiny of people, and inquires about the nature of people. In this sense, religion is just a way for humans to know themselves. It is human nature to pay attention to one's own destiny, pursue one's own happiness, and seek a higher quality of life. This is understandable. However, the core of religious morality is the morality of dealing with the relationship between man and god. In the moral relationship of religion, people dedicate everything they have in the form of completely losing themselves. Because in front of man, God or God is the creator of everything, so God is sacred, great, supreme, and infinite. In front of God, man is created, and therefore is ordinary, small, limited, and humiliating. Yes, even guilty. In this way, in the strong contrast between the sacred and the mundane, the great and the insignificant, and the humble and the humble, God and man have determined the special relationship between the two in the form of their ethics. God created man, and man should be grateful to God for the decision. For the life and death of human beings, people must worship God and worship God can save people, and they must dedicate themselves to God. Therefore, although man created God, in the relationship between man and God in religious ethics, man completely loses himself and annihilates humanity. The question now is, why do people in religion willingly give everything or even deny themselves and make huge sacrifices for this. The reason is very simple, it is to gain eternal life, in exchange for a ticket to heaven, and for the soul. For the transcendence and tranquility, people are willing to sacrifice the happiness and life of this world. Religion is a helpless and helpless choice and destination for people. Religious morality is only concerned with the individual and self-preservation and immortality, and it emphasizes "self-interest." So, fundamentally speaking, religion is a form of man’s desire for infinity and sacredness and satisfaction in God.

The believers were burned to death on the cross and drowned in sea water. The pastor played by Garfield made the whimpering sound from the ground when the villagers were suffering and the sound of courage to sacrifice from the bottom of my heart that stemmed from my adherence to the religion at this time. Which is more important? Torajiro repeatedly betrayed and prayed repeatedly, and his spiritual suffering was like reincarnation. When the three suffer from different levels of pain, they are all questioning God: You should not be silent at this time!
