選民思想は害を齎す
神は善を喜ぶ一方で、悪の存在を許す。神には善も悪も無いのかも知れない。人間が善悪の判断をしても、神の見解は全く異なるものなのであろう。神にとっては善も悪も全く同等で、人も猛獣も植物も全く同等なのだろう。
当然の事ながら、黒人、黄色人、白人の別もない。宗教や民族が異なっても、神の目には同じ人類であろう。
そのように考えると、神が選民思想を支持する筈がない。第一、選民思想はその根底にエゴが有るではないか。また、偏見や自惚れの原動力となってしまう。かつて、ナチスがゲルマン民族の優秀性を標榜し、一方でユダヤ人を大量虐殺したのも、選民思想である。日本も日本は神の国だといって、戦争を始めてしまった。
選民思想は、狂気に連なり害を齎すので要注意である。
Elitism is harmful
While God delights in good, He allows evil to exist. Maybe God has no good or evil. Even if humans judge what is good and bad, God's opinion may be completely different. To God, good and evil might be completely equal, and people, beasts of prey, and plants are all the same.
Of course, there is no distinction between black, yellow, and white people. Even if we have different religions and ethnicities, in the eyes of God we are all the same human race.
If you think of it that way, there is no way that God would support elitism. First, isn't egoism at the root of the Chosen People's ideology? It also becomes a driving force for prejudice and self-conceit. In the past, the Nazis advocated the superiority of the Germanic peoples, while at the same time massacring the Jews, which was based on the idea of a chosen people. Japan also started a war claiming that Japan was God's country.
We must be careful of elitism, as it leads to insanity and brings harm.
