Jared Diamond-compreendendo a religião...
Enviado: 30 Dez 2008, 10:34
Li apenas dois livros do Jared Diamond- Germes, Armas e Aço e Colapso.
Interessante a mudança de pensamento desse autor- no primerio livro define a religião como cleptocracia, e no segundo, perante a iminente crise provocada pela exploração excessiva dos recursos naturais, faz a seguinte colocação:
Those of us who are religious can further multiply our power by developing
support within our church, synagogue, or mosque. It was churches that led the civil
rights movement, and some religious leaders have also been outspoken on the environment,
but not many so far. Yet there is much potential for building religious
support, because people more readily follow the suggestions of their religious leaders
than the suggestions of historians and scientists, and because there are strong
religious reasons to take the environment seriously. Members of congregations can
remind fellow members and their leaders (their priests, ministers, rabbis, etc.) of
the sanctity of the created order, of biblical metaphors for keeping Nature fertile
and productive, and of the implications of the concept of stewardship that all
religions acknowledge.
