共産党という宗教団体
共産圏ではしばしば宗教団体が政治的に圧迫されると聞いている。それは、宗教に染まると思考が停止し、物事の判断能力が失われるという事らしい。
確かに歴史を見る限り、その事例は多数あるようである。地動説を説いたガリレオがキリスト教団から迫害された事例は、科学的な思考を放棄した宗教者が起こした判断ミスであろう。
しかしながら、物事の判断能力を失うのは、宗教者の全てではなく、考える事を放棄するごく一部の人達である。このように考えると、判断能力を失うかどうかは、必ずしも宗教のせいではなく、人の姿勢の問題だという事になる。
判断能力が怪しくなる原因の一つに、問題を見る（把握する）「観点」があるが、自身の強い主義主張があれば、その主義主張をベースにして問題が見えるに違いない。このように考えると、偏見は宗教団体にも起こりうるが、共産党という団体の中でも起こりうるのが道理である。
最近の中国を観察していると、教条主義的な流れが強くて、狂信的な宗教団体になってしまったように思える。鄧小平が切り開いた繁栄への道を自らぶち壊してしまいつつあるように思える。
Religious group called of Communist Party
I hear that religious groups are often politically oppressed in the communist bloc. It seems that the reason is that when one becomes tainted with religion, one's thoughts stop and one loses the ability to judge things.
Indeed, there are many such examples in history. Galileo, who preached the heliocentric theory, was persecuted by the Christian society. This must be a misjudgment caused by religious people who abandoned scientific thinking.
However, it is not all religious people who lose their ability to judge things, but the very few who give up thinking. Thinking in this way, whether or not one loses the ability to make judgments is not necessarily a matter of religion, but a matter of one's attitude.
One of the reasons why one's ability to make judgments becomes questionable is the "perspective" of looking at (grasping) problems. If you have your own strong ideological assertion, you must observe the problem based on that ideological assertion. Considering this, prejudice can occur in religious groups, but it is logical that it can also occur in the Communist Party.
Observing China in recent years, it seems that there is a strong dogmatic trend and it has become a fanatical religious group. It seems that China is destroying the road to prosperity paved by Deng Xiaoping.
