8.6 Liberal Faux-theology
Liberal Teist ilohiyoti: Xudo yo'q, faqat turli madaniyatlar o'zlari uchun yaratgan xudo bor. Keyin har bir guruh o'z xudo tasavvurini boshqa hammaga majburlashga urinadi, chunki odamlar xudbin, past va nafratli. Agar odamlar Xudo hech qanday obyektiv (ya'ni ma'noli) ma'noda mavjud emasligini va eng ko'pi bilan shaxssiz ilohiy kuch ekanini anglaganlarida edi, biz boshqa, ancha muhim masalalar bilan shug'ullana olardik, masalan, burjua erkaklarning bir-birini sodomiya qilish "huquqini" nishonlash kabi narsalar bilan.
The Liberal Theist’s Theology: There is no god except the god that different cultures created for themselves. Then each group attempts to impose their version of God on everyone else because people are selfish and mean and hateful. If only people realized that God doesn’t exist in any objective (i.e., meaningful) sense and is at most an impersonal deity, we could all worry about more important things like celebrating the “right” of bourgeoisie men to sodomize each other.
Agar liberal sekulyarchilarning ilohiyotini ateizm bilan solishtirsak, ular amalda bir xil falsafalar ekanini ko‘rgan bo‘lardik. Xudo — bu shunchaki odamlarning o‘zlari uchun tasavvur qilgan narsasi. Din esa inson ifodasidan boshqa narsa emas. Mustaqil Xudo yoki obyektiv axloq haqida tashvish qilishning hojati yo‘q, faqat liberal axloqdan tashqari, albatta; u esa shunchaki Shimoliy-G‘arbiy Yevropa va Amerika xalqlarining hukmron madaniy moyilliklariga to‘g‘ri keladi.
If you were to compare the theology of liberal secularists to atheism, you would find them to be for all intents and purposes identical philosophies. God is just something people imagine for themselves. Religion is nothing more than human expression. There is no independent God or objective morality to worry about, other than liberal morality of course, which just happens to coincide with the prevailing cultural proclivities of Northwestern Europeans and Americans.
