PHIL 1600 Chapter Notes - Chapter IX.1: Religion In Africa, Zoroastrianism, Tulpa
Document Summary
Religion develops in two major regions: india and mesopotamia in 2000 bc. Mesopotamians had lots of gods that got lost in assimilation. Gods for both regions were not always benevolent and often required sacrifices to keep them appeased. The indian religions have female deities while the semitic religions tend to have nomadic herdsmen as the deities. We should not expect god to make his revelation 510 part 9 ! Religious pluralism in a single mighty act, rather than to produce a number of different, and therefore presumably partial, revelations at different times and places? (510-511) Obviously communication was significantly more difficult then than it is now so other cultures could not share ideas as easily as we do today. Like europeans would never learn about what the. Asian religion was nor the african religions so none of these cultures knew that the others existed. Many religions have been created tried and tested.
