  • Duality within the orthodox religious mind
     OP - March 10, 2012, 07:55 AM

    I feel that a lot of the debate about the moral behaviour of conservatives circles this topic quite a lot but a lot of it has been discussed qualitatively. What I feel is that there are some underlying ideas about all of this and I'm not sure about them. It seems that some of us consider the moral behaviour of a certain range of orthodox believers a bit inferior to those of another group and there is sufficient evidence for it but what does it say about their state of mind? All I can see is a very vague picture.

    Many of the orthodox people who do have questionable behaviour linked to their beliefs are also impartial on a lot of things. Do they have little control over their irrationality than us? What makes their irrationality so much greater? I feel like a duality does exist but I can't distinguish them on a very static distinction (how radical some of them are). Psychology behind all of this seems to have little participation and I think it's important to know what makes some of them hypocritical, do the right thing or the wrong thing. I think I am asking about perception in general but I feel like their case seems unique from the rest.

    "I measured the skies, now the shadows I measure,
    Sky-bound was the mind, earth-bound the body rests."
    [Kepler's epitaph]
