Why I Am Not A Christian?
Why I Am Not A Christian?内容简介
Why I Am Not a Christian is considered one of the most blasphemous philosophical documents ever written, and at a time when we have faith schools and wars over religious beliefs, its message today couldn't be more relevant. If religion provides comfortable responses to the questions that have always beset humankind - why are we here, what is the point of being alive, how ought we to behave - then Russell snatches that comfort away, leaving us instead with other, more troublesome alternatives: responsibility, autonomy, self-awareness. If it were possible to sum up this book in a sentence, then it would be that the time to live is now, the place to live is here, and the way to be happy is to ensure others are happy. And what it all boils down to, is that disbelief is but a matter of believing. Ranked alongside Voltaire's Candide, Tom Paine's Age of Reason, Martin Scorsese's The Last Temptation of Christ, and Monty Python's The Life of Brian, Bertrand Russell's Why I Am Not a Christian has made some odd bedfello
热门摘录
给许多无害的行为贴上“罪”的标签，但又宽恕那些做出这种行为的人，这也许是一种明智的社会制度的真髓。这样就可以再不损害任何人的情况下获得邪恶的快乐
我希望看到一个这样的世界，在这个世界上，教育的目的在于思想自由，而不是在于将青年人的思想禁锢在坚硬的教条盔甲里，以便使他们终身免受公正的证据之箭的伤害。世界需要坦率的心胸和开通的思想，而且，不通过僵硬的制度，不管这种制度是新的还是旧的，就能得到这样的心胸和思想。
As soon as absolute truth is supposed to be contained in the sayings of a certain man, there is a body of experts to interpret his sayings, and these experts infallibly acquire power, since they hold the key to truth.
He believed in hell.
基督说（1）: "Ye serpents, ye generation of vipers, how can ye escape the damnation of Hell."（蛇以及蛇类的后代，你们岂能逃得过地狱的诅咒！）
基督说（2）: "Whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost it shall not be forgiven him neither in this World nor in the world to come." （说话亵渎圣灵的人，无论今生与来世都不能得到宽恕。）
基督说（6）: The Fig tree 无花果树 （"基督饿了，看见远处有一株长着叶子的无花果树，基督走上前去想找果子吃，但是只找到树叶，因为结果实的季节还没有到。于是基督说：'从现在起，永远没有人吃你的果实。'……而彼得对基督说："看哪，主人！被你诅咒的那株树正在凋谢。" ）
I cannot myself feel that either in the matter of wisdom or in the matter of virtue Christ stands quite as high as some other people known to history. I think I should put Buddha and Sacrates above him in those respects.
真正促使人们信仰上帝的根本就不是什么理智的论证。绝大多数人之所以信仰上帝，是因为他们从小就接受这种教育，这是主要原因。
我认为，这些箴言都很不错哦，尽管践行这些箴言有些难。我并不标榜自己要去践行这些箴言，但这与基督教徒不去践行，毕竟有所不同。
