"بشكل عام أخطاء الدين خطيرة أما أخطاء الفلسفة فهي مجرد سخافات"
— David Hume
Simplified Meaning:
Mistakes in religious beliefs can lead to serious problems because religion often influences how people live, think, and treat others. When religious ideas go wrong, they can cause harm, conflict, and suffering. For instance, history shows that some wars and violent acts happened because of misinterpreted or extreme religious beliefs. On the other hand, errors in philosophical thinking are less harmful. Philosophy deals with ideas and questions that make us think deeply, like the meaning of life, and sometimes those ideas can be strange or funny. But wrong ideas in philosophy don't usually cause real-world harm. For example, if a philosopher has a weird theory about reality, it might seem silly, but it doesn't endanger lives or peace. Understanding this difference helps us see why it is important to be careful and wise about religious beliefs. Being mindful can prevent negative consequences. In contrast, we can explore philosophical ideas more freely without worrying as much about making dangerous mistakes.
