You are a thinker. I am a thinker. We think that all human beings are thinkers. The amazing fact is that we tend to think against artificial intelligence — that various kinds of computers or artificial robots can think, but most of us never cast doubt on human thinking potential in general. If during natural conservation with a person, a computer or artificial robot can generate human-like responses using its own ‘brain’, but not a ready-form programming language, which is antecedently written and which is included in the brain design, and which consequently determine its function and response, then this computer or artificial robot will unquestionably be acknowledged as the thinker as we are. But is it absolutely true that all humans are capable of using their own brains, while interpreting various signals and responding them? Indeed, religion or any other ideology is a mental program, which is written by others and which determines our vision, mind and behavior models, depriving us of a clear and logical thinking. This makes us see the world through the eyes of religion, construct our mind the way it says and control our behavior the way it wants. There can be no freedom, no alternative possibilities. You don’t need to understand its claims, you need only believe them. Whatever is unthinkable and unimaginable for you, is said higher for your understanding, you cannot even criticize what seems to be illogical and absurd for you. The unwritten golden rule of religion and its Holy Scripture is that — no matter what you think, you cannot contradict what is written there. You can reconcile what is illogical and absurd in religion, with logic and common sense, if it is possible, if not, you should confine your thinking to that illogicality and absurdity, which, in turn, will make you an increasingly confused thinker. For example, if it says that you should cut the head or legs of anyone who dares to criticize your religion and your prophet, you should undoubtedly believe that this is a fair and proper punishment for him. You can argue in favor of softening this cruel image of your religion by saying that this ‘fair and proper punishment’ is considered in the religious community, but not in secular society. However, the absurdity of your vision still persists, because as a supporter of your religion, you dream of spreading it around the world, where the cruel and insane demands of your religion will be the norm and standard for all. If it says that you can sexually exploit a slave woman (girl), especially someone who doesn’t hold your religious faith, you should support this sexual violence without any question. In the end, you would like to be called a thinker. In my mind, you are a thinker, but a thinker who has got a psychological disorder. It is logical to ask whether all those ‘thinkers’ represent a potential danger for the humanity. I think, yes. However, we are lucky that not all believers would like to penetrate into the deeper layers of religion.Many of them believe in God, meditate and balance their spiritual state, not knowing what is written in the Holy Scriptures, keeping very vague ideas about their content. Many believers live a secular life, using their own brains for this. A person can love someone if he thinks it is reasonable to love him; if he loves someone because of God or religious beliefs, he can easily kill him once because of God or religious beliefs. I think that serious danger is the last motive that religion causes.
