Harm and Health in Religious Education مقاله

خلاصه ماشینی:

The possibility of this matter depends on someone accepting the necessity of the existence of religion for humans, and considering the role model and Imam to be relevant and limited to an era in which humans did not possess sufficient intellectual and spiritual maturity and were inevitably required to have a pattern before them; but now that such maturity has been provided for humans, there is no need for such a pattern, and they themselves can apply religious teachings in their lives. Role-modeling and imamate, by being in the middle ground and staying away from the two aforementioned damages, are like the healthy state in religious education. If, in religious education, the shadow justification of power manifests in its complete and perfect form, such that individuals are trained to consider every ruler as the shadow of God, sacred and respected, they may one day emerge from the second pole, namely religious anarchism (assuming they wish to remain religious).

In this perception of religious education, connection with God is considered a very abstract and internal matter, in such a way that it does not entail specific and decisive requirements in the individual's actions and social relations.
