Q & A
What is the significance of the Mary Magdalene paradigm in the context of forgiveness and personal transformation?
-The Mary Magdalene paradigm illustrates that forgiveness is the starting point for personal transformation. After being forgiven, individuals are still required to improve themselves, as seen with Mary Magdalene who, after her encounter with Jesus, stopped her previous lifestyle and became a supporter of Jesus, highlighting the importance of individual transformation through the abandonment of sinful actions.
How does the concept of inherent human imperfection affect the idea of societal transformation within religious contexts?
-The inherent imperfection of humans suggests that societal transformation cannot be achieved solely through human efforts. Religions often propose supernatural intervention or moral guidance as a means to facilitate transformation, emphasizing the role of divine mercy and the importance of individual actions and intentions in the pursuit of a better society.
What are the three possible responses religion offers to accommodate the inherent imperfection of humans?
-The three possible responses include: 1) The notion of mercy from God, where individuals are forgiven and then expected to change, 2) The idea that good deeds can outweigh mistakes, as seen in some interpretations of Islam and Christianity, and 3) The concept of eternal souls that must repent within an eternal system, suggesting a continuous process of moral improvement beyond this life.
Why is the supernatural aspect of religion considered important in the context of moral transformation?
-The supernatural aspect is important because it provides a framework for moral transformation that goes beyond the natural world. It offers a system of rewards and punishments that are not dependent on the immediate outcomes in this life, thus motivating individuals to act morally even when faced with the imperfections and injustices of society.
How does the concept of supernatural transformation differ from natural societal change in terms of individual motivation?
-Supernatural transformation focuses on individual actions and moral choices that are believed to lead to rewards in the afterlife, regardless of worldly outcomes. In contrast, natural societal change is driven by political and social structures that aim to improve conditions in the present world, often through collective efforts and systemic reforms.
What is the role of desire for a reward, such as heaven, in moral behavior according to the script?
-The script suggests that while it is not inherently sinful to desire a reward like heaven for good deeds, the ultimate goal should be to become a morally excellent individual. The desire for a reward can serve as a motivation, but the primary focus should be on aligning one's actions with moral principles.
Why is it important for morality to be justified by future happiness according to the script?
-The script argues that morality needs to be justified by the prospect of future happiness because it provides an ultimate rationale for moral behavior. If individuals believe that good deeds will lead to happiness in the future, it makes moral actions rational and justifiable, even in the face of present-day hardships or injustices.
How does the script differentiate between the roles of religion, society, and the individual in moral development?
-The script emphasizes that religion should not be solely focused on sin but should also promote righteousness and justice. It suggests that societal transformation should be aimed at creating a good community and family, while individual moral responsibility should be maintained. This differentiation helps to prevent conflating political and social issues with personal moral accountability.
What are the potential dangers of sublimating individual actions to a greater cause, as discussed in the script?
-Sublimating individual actions to a greater cause can lead to a disregard for personal responsibility and moral accountability. This can result in justifying immoral actions in the name of a larger goal, such as establishing a 'Kingdom of Heaven,' and can lead to atrocities committed in the name of religion, as individuals may not believe their individual actions matter as much as the cause they are fighting for.
How does the script suggest maintaining a clear distinction between personal sin and societal issues?
-The script suggests that maintaining a clear distinction involves recognizing that sin is a personal matter based on individual actions and choices, while societal issues are related to the political and economic structures. This distinction helps in addressing societal problems without excusing individual immoral behavior and promotes a more mature approach to moral development.

Transcripts
Paradigm of Mary Magdalene because
whenever people say this they always
only one sentence that Jesus say go and
sin no
more so it is not that you are
forgiveness for foring and there is
nothing it's Jesus forgiveness starts
and then afterwards you are still
required to better yourself as a person
in fact afterwards we know exactly what
Mar m does she stop pouring her days out
she becomes people who supports Jesus
and becomes one of the most influential
femili dis this is a model that we are
supporting that individual
transformation is shown by the
abandonment of sinful actions members of
the house but joking aside second they
also talking about the idea of we cannot
achieve saltation because people are not
uh in because people are inherently
imperfect members of the House there are
there are three three possible reasons
three possible responses how religion
can accommodate this the first possible
response is the notion of Mercy from God
you can transform before even before
transform you are already forgiven but
then God demands you that you change
idea of mar Magdalen in Islam for
example your mistakes are outweigh by
your good deeds on the day of judgment
there is also another approach available
also under this model in Christianity uh
in some uh branches of Christianity
there is forgety in which your Eternal
Soul have to repent in the Eternal uh in
the Eternal system in fact actually I
find the idea of our foret here actually
is one of the most important thing and
most relevant point in this
or because religion have access to
Supernatural and super worldly benefits
and demands and therefore when you have
the supernatural benefits this kind of
Supernatural benefits underlies the
moral system of religion and why do we
think this is very important we we think
it is very important to understand that
if a person wants to choose between
various kinds of beliefs you can have if
you want to deal with social
transformation like what they want why
do you go have religion communism is
better right or Socialism or social
democracy dis the government directly
why what talking about political why
people talking about supernatural Powers
so religion cannot compete on that kind
of area if you want to choose religion
it should be because of Supernatural
transformation rather
than transformation based on natural
change in society and how does this
approach of superatural transformation
actually helps us in as our society uh
in in this model because then even
though you are imperfect even though you
are unable to deal with you cannot be
certain about rewards in this world you
can be certain of the reward in the next
so even if we ask you to give super
human effort you are rewarded in the
future in the world and that is where we
can guante it precisely because the
world right now is sinful good people
die miserably bad people Prosper members
of the house if you go with government
so if you go with changing government if
you with communist this kind of problems
still exist but if you are religious
then you believe that even though you do
good did then that's acceptable even if
you're not rewarded here you're rewarded
with heaven in comparison in ide with
World Temptation you change the world
anyway so you get the same value as the
same of religion PA it yes do you agree
that if people do good things because
they want to go to heaven that's sinful
no I don't think I don't think I don't
think Islam think is I don't think I
don't think uh the idea that you have to
desire something for desire for
something it's better you become a
morally Exel individual if you do so but
it is not wrong for you to desire reward
for them El and moreover this is a very
good question by by K why do people
bother wanting to be moral the reason
why people want with being moral is that
finally somehow happiness and your Moral
Moral Behavior coincides members of the
house if somebody if everybody in the
world believes that if you do good
things you will be miserable everybody
will be imortal only when there is
Ultimate justification that sometime in
the future that all this your good deed
is going to lead you into happiness only
then is morally Justified and rational
towards individuals members of the House
morality is not independently Justified
actually
secondly secondly this why notion of of
uh having belief in uh in sinful action
based on sinful action is is more
connected towards the idea more than
worldation secondly also very
importantly actually there are a lot of
things that are very attractive from
their model right we talk about social
Transformations and so on but it is
important that we understand this motion
that religion is not just about Sin
right religion is not sin there are also
Godly Community for example therefore if
you want to change CH the society in
order for society to remove that patient
reduce this AR of theti it is not proper
to put it in sin rather you put this on
the idea of righteousness and Justice
members of the house so what you do is
you are committed to changing the world
of creating a good family of creating a
good Society of getting a good Community
but you still retain the notion of right
or wrong why because the notion of right
and wrong has to do with you here while
The National Society has to do with the
political structure of that community of
so therefore our model accommodates what
they have because we can say social
transformation is not related to sin and
moreover it accommodates better because
it is actually more true to the exact
notion of moral responsibility you do
not as ref us you do not not put
murderers in jail because he's tempted
by economic circumstances you put him in
jail and then transform the society so
that economic necessity necessary for
that is not longer
there and this is the more mature
approach not excusing wrong but not
using circumstances as part of
Statistics rather than a part of
individual your soul Belongs to You MERS
of those and this is the proper realm of
sin by making the proper realm of sin
worthly Temptation This you confl the
political the social and the individual
and this is actually harmful towards a
moral development of every individual
because then you blame everything to the
process of social sublimation towards
the Satan and this is exactly what is
misunderstood from the argument May
government Clos govern opposition bench
it's not necessarily true that there is
of course uh bad things happen with each
religious approach it's true but when
you sublimate your kind of behavior
towards a certain notion that there is a
great set in the sky you also sublimate
the idea of good the goodness of Badness
towards the goodness of Badness of this
power in the sky this is why in
religions you commit atrocities because
the final go is the establishment of the
Kingdom of
Heaven this is why the same people who
fought for the Crusades for the for for
the defense of the Holy Land defending
women and that rapes women and children
on the way to the defending of women and
children precisely because what do not
believe that individual actions matter
what they believe is the great cause in
which they are fighting this is why
sublimation like the doing is bad we
should make clear distinction between
what is responsible of person
responsible of religion and society and
that can only be done if sin remains
personal and based on the affirmative
concept thank you very much
