Truth is Random! (Part 2)

Having said this, I still prefer religious philosophy over other specific schools of modern philosophy such as socialism, capitalism, secularism etc. These modern schools of philosophy are only a narrow interpretation of the truth or reality. Such narrow focus , makes these schools of thought more palatable and less fuzzy to a rational mind but makes them effectively useless too. Each of these philosophies fail when one tries to extend that school of thought to broader practical situations. Thus the more comprehensive a philosophy is, the more self-contradictory it becomes. I believe that such self-contradiction is important for the survival of a philosophy. The modern school of philosophies are based on rational reasoning and logic and as a result these schools find it hard to accept contradictions. But this also limits their usefulness. However, most of the religious philosophy dates back to pre-rational period in human thought. As a result religious philosophy accepts contradictions without any problems. And this ensures its survival.

This contradiction between religious philosophy and modern school of philosophy in quite well documented. It was Marx who said - Religion is opium of the people. If he was alive today he would find it amusing that his own socialist philosophy has become the new opium of his followers. They have just replaced religion with Marx's philosophy. The results are as bad or worse. Religion survived so many years, Socialism did not - because it was neither as abstract in its core or self-contradictory in its interpretation as religion is! Think about it!

In short, it is said that religious philosophy is the search of Truth. Reality is Truth. But Reality is random, so Truth is random. Which is same as saying - The only rule is that there are no rules - and that is the absolute Truth. So don't take any of this philosophy talk seriously - it is all bullshit, including this one!
