Hey, @forewit do you think
@SamHarrisOrg knows about the Soviet Union? -
@travchik Sure, but Soviets were in a cult of their own, maybe not based on a major religion but an ideology & personality. -
@forewit But they were a secular cult, and he says "imagine if a secular institution did this." We don't need to; we've seen it before.
-
@travchik he's not saying it can't happen, just that it would be really big news & widely attributed to the secular ideology. -
@forewit It can't logically be attributed to honest interpretation of religious ideology since nothing in Christianity would condone it.
-
@forewit On the other hand, nothing in the broad category of "secular ideology" guarantees the humane treatment of...anyone.
-
@travchik I can think of one secular ideology of the top of my head that, if followed, would lead to humane treatment: humanism. -
@forewit My question is, what is the motivation that keeps them within the bounds of their ideology? What do they lose for stepping out?
