我先跟你说一个真实的故事:
故事的主人公是Sam Harris(无神论者)和Nita Farahany(OBAMA'S COMMISSION FOR THE STUDY OF BIOETHICAL ISSUES)。
Nita问:什么科学让你觉得强制女人穿头巾是错的?
Sam说:因为我认为,正确和错误是取决于是否提升或者降低人类的康乐(well being)。 明显的,强制女人带头巾,如果不带就要被杀死那是明显的降低女人的康乐(well being),
Nita说:那是你的个人想法
sam说:好。。。。。让我们简单化问题。如果,我们发现一个社群会野蛮的让所有第三个出生的孩子盲,用最野蛮的方法在一出生的时候把他们的眼睛挖掉。你会不会同意这个社群是非常的损害人民的康乐(well being)?
Nita说:这取决于他们为什么这么做。
Sam慢慢从惊讶中回复过来说:好假设这是因为他们的宗教的理论,在他们的宗教教义里神说:每第三个出生的孩子要在黑暗中行走。
Nita说:那你就不可以说他们做错了。
Nita随后被解雇了,她随后也多次删掉了她自己在wikipedia的页面。
Nita被采访时被问到上面她跟sam的对话,21分开始。
原文:
She: What makes you think that science will ever be able to say that forcing women to wear burqas is wrong?
Me: Because I think that right and wrong are a matter of increasing or decreasing well-being—and it is obvious that forcing half the population to live in cloth bags, and beating or killing them if they refuse, is not a good strategy for maximizing human wellbeing.
She: But that’s only your opinion.
Me: Okay … Let’s make it even simpler. What if we found a culture that ritually blinded every third child by literally plucking out his or her eyes at birth, would you then agree that we had found a culture that was needlessly diminishing human well-being?
She: It would depend on why they were doing it.
Me [slowly returning my eyebrows from the back of my head]: Let’s say they were doing it on the basis of religious superstition. In their scripture, God says, “Every third must walk in darkness.”
She: Then you could never say that they were wrong.
[size=12.350000381469727px]谢谢你,你鼓励了我写这帖子。你所说的正好就是我要证明的一个观点:“宗教和信仰腐蚀一个人的道德观。”。 我用我自己举个例子吧,如果我说:“我相信树神,带我来人间的我的是大学里面的一棵树不是我母亲的十月怀胎和艰难生产,也是那棵树从小教育了我怎么正确做人不是我父母的循循善诱,让我长大的是那个树的恩赐而不是父母的辛苦劳动。”当我这么说的时候,估计听到的人大部分都会觉得我不孝,纵使我说我父母也觉得是这样的。难道这些人的道德观是错误的?难道把我故事里的树神换成是耶和华,我就不是不孝?还有在什么情况下,只要是我个人和我父母认为道德的事情,就是大家都认同的道德观? |
