Faith and Grammar

 

An ancient piece of text in any language written before the development of its grammar is always ambiguous and subject to multiple interpretations.

I asked  an AI chatbot about when the grammars of the languages in which most popular divine books are written were compiled. Here is the answer.

The grammar of the following languages was compiled at different times throughout history:

Greek: The grammar of the Greek language was compiled by ancient Greek scholars and grammarians starting from around the 4th century BCE. The most famous of these works is the "Art of Grammar" by Dionysius Thrax, which was written in the 2nd century BCE.

Latin: The grammar of the Latin language was also compiled by ancient Roman grammarians. One of the earliest Latin grammars is the "Ars grammatica" by Aelius Donatus, which was written in the 4th century CE. However, there were earlier works on Latin grammar as well.

Hebrew: The grammar of the Hebrew language was studied and compiled by Jewish scholars over centuries. One significant work on Hebrew grammar is the "Sefer Yetzirah," written in the early centuries CE. However, the most comprehensive and influential Hebrew grammar work is the "Kitāb al-ʼAyn" by Saadia Gaon, written in the 9th century CE.

Arabic: The grammar of the Arabic language was extensively studied and compiled by Arab linguists and scholars from the 8th century CE onwards. Some of the most notable works on Arabic grammar include "Al-Kitab" by Sibawayh, written in the 8th century CE, and "Al-Kitab fi al-Nahw" by Ibn Hisham, written in the 13th century CE.

Military and Religion

Military and religious forces have played very significant roles in the formation of history and shaping the political geography of the earth.

The military is based on the instinct of freedom and religion on the instinct of faith which are quite diverse but individually admirable. However, both have had in places much less admired consequences and have some common characteristics.

Points of similarity between military and religious establishments are:

1. Both have an autocratic top boss.

2. Both have well defined hierarchies.

3. Both have strict dicipline.

4. Both have special education and training.

5. Both have distinctive attire or uniforms.

6. Both demand absolute loyalty from rank and file.

7. Both work in the name of a supreme authority to whom people do not have direct access.

8. Both contribute naught their country's GNP.

9. Both exploit fear of the unknown, the enemy across the border or life after death.

10. Both are quite prosperous.

Redefinitions

God: God is not a person or thing. God is a system. There are political, social, economic, communication and mechanical systems and there are people dedicated to their preservation and functioning. God is the father and mother of all systems; a super-system or network that motivates the genome and facilitates and controls the growth of a seed into a tree or an embryo into a man or animal.

Worship: Proof of compliance with the super-system.

Prayer: A humble appeal to the super-system.

Sin: Deed of personal vice that cannot be controlled by law or cured by medicine.

Prayer

Prayer is the humble expression of one's desires and aspirations carried out with utter humility. The action is recognized by the universal supervisory system and natural selection takes effect. It has nothing to do with religion.
