哲學與宗教的分別、對峙、依存與平衡 The Separation, Confrontation, Dependence, and Balance between Philosophy and Religion－對意識的了解建立哲學與宗教的橋樑 Understanding of consciousness establishes a bridge between philosophy and religion (https://curiosityforever.wordpress.com/2023/04/15/%e5%93%b2%e5%ad%b8%e8%88%87%e5%ae%97%e6%95%99%e7%9a%84%e5%88%86%e5%88%a5%e5%b0%8d%e5%b3%99%e4%be%9d%e5%ad%98%e8%88%87%e5%b9%b3%e8%a1%a1-the-separation-confrontation-dependence-and-balance-between-phil/)
哲學與宗教就像理性與感性一樣永不能調和的對比關係。哲學首要是「理性的懷疑」，宗教首要是「感性的信仰」。
The contrast between philosophy and religion is like that between reason and emotion, which can never be reconciled. Philosophy is primarily the “rational doubt,” while religion is primarily the “emotional faith.
哲學與宗教的分別 The separation of philosophy and religion
很多不同宗教的信徒都認為首先「相信」了才能看見該宗教背後的「真理」，認為「相信」是一切的開始。在遇到理性不能解釋的地方，宗教往往也會認為這是人類理性思考的局限，而在理性之外就是神的領域，我們不應也永不能去潛越作為人的本份去站在神的角度思考。宗教普遍都有其最基本的教義，不一定有也不需要在任何理性基礎建立其教義。即使遇到理性不能解答的地方，宗教也會要求你抱持信念。
Many believers of different religions believe that they must first “believe” in order to see the “truth” behind the religion, and that “belief” is the beginning of everything. When faced with things that reason cannot explain, religion often believes that this is a limitation of human rational thinking, and that beyond reason is the realm of God. We should not and can never go beyond our human nature to think from God’s perspective. Religion generally has its most basic teachings, which may not necessarily be established on any rational basis. Even when faced with things that reason cannot answer, religion will demand that you hold on to faith.
哲學代表理性的多角度批判思考，一個理性的人不會認為事物的某一個立場就是對或者錯，他們會從不同的角度去審視事物本身，透過觀察和分析並不會過度依附在某一個特定的立場去判斷事物本質。當有更具說服力的想法出現時，不論這種想法是自己發現或是其他人提出的想法，也有會讓理性思考者改變自己本身的立場的可能。就算這種想法在感性上不能接受，也願意接受和相信觀察和分析後的結果。
Philosophy represents a multi-perspective critical thinking of reason. A rational person does not believe that a certain position on something is right or wrong. They will examine the thing itself from different angles and not overly rely on a specific standpoint to judge the essence of the thing. When more convincing ideas emerge, whether they are discovered by themselves or proposed by others, there is a possibility for rational thinkers to change their own position. Even if such ideas are not acceptable on an emotional level, they are willing to accept and believe in the results of observation and analysis.
哲學與宗教的對峙與依存 The confrontation and dependence between philosophy and religion
哲學經常會感覺到宗教很多不理性的荒謬，捨去尋找證據與理性批判，全盤接納宗教教條意味著選擇拋開邏輯與證據，僅仰賴熱情與信心，順服於宗教從而得到精神上的解脫與慰藉。但由於哲學概念最終是沒有所謂「答案」的，更多像是人生方向性的選擇，就像在唯物主義與唯心主義之間的選擇，在云云哲學理論中選擇某一種自己所「信仰」的哲學概念為「真理」， **在基於不同哲學概念提供多種方向性的人生選擇當中選擇**。
Philosophy often feels that there are many irrational absurdities in religion, abandoning the search for evidence and rational criticism, and accepting religious dogma entirely means choosing to abandon logic and evidence, relying only on passion and faith, and submitting to religion in order to obtain spiritual relief and comfort. However, since philosophical concepts ultimately have no “answers” but are more like directional choices in life, such as choosing between materialism and idealism, choosing a philosophical concept that one “believes” to be the “truth” in various philosophical theories, and choosing from among multiple directional life choices based on different philosophical concepts.
而宗教又會認為…
