Honour thy mother and father

[SIR ETHNICCEL]

In all religions and tribal/ethnic belief systems we find teachings such this teaching from the bible.

One thing I have not found any of these systems comment on is how practical this is such as in cases where parents may rape their children, some parents are physcopaths and intentionally injure children, some parents even sell their children to fund their addictions, some fathers blow all the inheritance meant for their children on some new wife and her children etc.

These teachings are premised on the assumption that all parents presumably have the best interests of their offspring at heart, which is true for many but definately not for all.

Now why should any child honour parents are abusive?. All religions are obviously man made because they espouse these teachings but have no explanations at as to how these concepts are practiced in cases of abusive parents.

 

[VainHireling2]

Abusive parents shouldn't be honoured. They don't count as parents if they beat you or ruin the households with their addictions.

 

[PersonaPimp]

Abusive parents shouldn't be honoured.

 

[Lone-Star]

Parents that gave birth to children destined for inceldom shouldn't be honoured.
They forced birth upon someone who will experience nothing but pain, abuse and sadness in every waking moment of his life.

If you go to a narcissistic piece of shit parent, and tell them "God literally told you that your son/daughter should respect you, regardless of what you do, or they will go to hell", you just took that scumbag, and drop him in a candy store.

The point of the teaching is not to make sense, or be fair to the child. Is to teach the worship of authority figures.

Again, it does not matter.

I have been told by all of my religious family members (All of them are), that I should have respect for my father.
Even though he has pushed me to suicide multiple times, and traumatized me. And they KNOW that.

But it doesn't matter. You are supposed to lick the boot of your parents, just as you are God. It's conditioning.

Matthew 10 [NRSVUE]

34 “Do not think that I have come to bring peace to the earth; I have not come to bring peace but a sword.


35 For I have come to set a man against his father,
and a daughter against her mother,
and a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law,
36 and one’s foes will be members of one’s own household.

37 “Whoever loves father or mother more than me is not worthy of me, and whoever loves son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me, 38 and whoever does not take up the cross and follow me is not worthy of me. 39 Those who find their life will lose it, and those who lose their life for my sake will find it.

you say it is to meant to teach the worship of authority figures such as the ruling monarch, government, religious figures?

Exactly.

Because to a child, the first authority figure in their life, is their parents.

A child that is taught to question their parents, or have logical A to Bs ("If my parent is a scumbag, I'm not gonna have any respect for them". "Respect is earned, not given for free", so on), will further use that same logic against other authority figures.

Will you question or do anything against a priest that is touching you down there?

Or a Cop that is beating up people away from a homeless shelter?

Or religious teachings that are obviously wrong? But is the world of God, so it's absolute.

It's all about conditioning.

Sounds as if religion is a tool to manipulate and control people rather than a spiritual system which it is advertised as

What things are on paper, and what they are in practice a lot of the times are wildly different.

Religion just does a better job at obscuring their most manipulative and genuinely evil aspects.

Religion needed to control society.
Scientism, wokeism are modern-day religions.

 

[Linesnap99]

yeah. its seems like it is all written by sexhaver for the sexhaver.

 

[Uncle Death]

I hate My parents

 

[pain and hate]

I want to do the most gruesome things to my father

Sounds like "trust the science" verified by fact checkers

These 'fact checkers' ignore the facts that research can be biased and that research in some fields my be prohibited due to political correctness or some other things.
Scientists ( until they aren't independent ) are a part of the system so they aren't interested to "go against the grain" and investigate controversial topics.
