| TheProphet said: Hey Angelus, thanks for the comment. i was hoping that the developers would show a little thoughfulness in their game. Sure life can be crap at time. But that has never stopped people from thinking intelligently about life. Even the Jews in Nazi Germany believed in a God. So it doesn't get much worse than they. They are not idiots. They realize there is suffering, but there is also a final cause, a primary beginnng, and a beginner - God. The game developers have no intellectual sophistication at all. |
I think the disconenct is equating intellectual sophistication with those that share your world view. If you think those that disagree with your view are "idiots" then you will struggle to gain empathy to how many people do think.
Many people who suffered throught the holocaust or other horrific events have reconsidered or left their various faiths. People have different reactions to such cruelty. I wouldn't forget that the perpetraitors of said offenses were overwhelmingly religious as well (catholic and lutheran most prominant).
It is easy to move that which we do not undertsnad in others as lacking in intellect. It is much harder to concede that their views are as well constructed as our own. That they simply come from different back ground and those experiences have shaped them to a unique, but equally complex and sophistacted view.
