You make some very interesting points and as you say it is unfair to criticise religion solely for the ills of the world when it is usually a mixture of culture, nationalism and politics allied to religion. .
I wonder if you have read Ayaan Hirsi Ali's biography "Infidel, my life"..A fascinating story of the life of a very courageous woman. She has written other books including "The caged virgin" about the life of a woman in Islam and has spoken out about the need for an enlightenment in Islam as there was in Christianity.

@St-Sinner I agree with you to an extent that "big pharma" exploits the situation to push overpriced drugs on GPs. an example is the opioid epidemic in parts of the USA, but modern medicines have increased lifespan and almost eliminated the death of children in western countries.
Natural remedies also have a place for minor ailments but homeopathy is pseudo science and has no place in the modern world.

Great story. That's a bit like the theory in the days of Gilbert White the great English naturalist that swallows overwintered under water. they were seen swooping over water catching insects and then in autumn they disappeared. No one new about migration in those days so the assumption was that they must be in the water or mud on the lake bottom.

Would you do a suicidal task like this ?. I certainly wouldn't. Earlier the Iranians had rescued the crew from a tanker in the gulf and according to my friend the rope ladder from the deck to a small rescue boat far below is stabilised against the side of the boat by a magnetic clamp. Could the removal of this clamp be what the US spy film shows ? Anyway Trump is deyermined to have himself a little war to boost his ratings at home so look out.

Tankers Attacked Again in Gulf of Oman, Raising Fears of Wider Conflict

@Capricorn Of course that's not your fault and the guy is a total asrsehole. I appreciate that it is difficult and sometimes maybe even dangerous for women on the internet dating scene.
It's years since I was involved myself and it amused me at the time that women were so careful about giving little information about themselves and being very careful about meeting places. Of course they were just being ultra careful.
I think I just reacted a bit as there is one poster in particular on here who blames all the ills of the world on men.
Good luck

@bbyrd009 Yes there is some debate as to whether Nazareth was populated during the time that Jesus was supposed to have lived. Joshua was the mythical leader of the Jews after the mythical Moses died at some amazingly old age so the name was commonly used and as the Jews were desperate for another saviour ( many orthodox Jews are still waiting on him) that is probably why this "saviour" was given that name.
I belive the early Mohammad did preach peace and tolerance but when he was chased out of Mecca and settled in medina things seemed to change.
I read of story of his life some time ago and it portrayed a sort of tribal warlord who's followers were anything but peaceful and behaved just like other tribes in the area.
The crusades were long after his time.

Possibly one reason why her book is the best referenced of the type I have read. I haven't read either of the authors you mention but if you haven't read Catherine Nixey's work how can you compare them ?
One small point I was unaware off before reading her book. I always thought that the fact that the beautiful marble statues from ancient Greece had bits missing. Noses, arms feet etc, was just wear and tear from years of handling. No it was deliberate damage by the early Christians who considered them Idolatrous.
Also I don't think Hypatia, the philosopher, astromoner and mathemetician would agree with you, well she couldn't as she was stripped naked,hauled through the streets and killed by a Christian mob.
Fast forward to just over 300 years ago to Edinburgh when Archie Aikenhead was hanged for blasphemy.
Yes charmers those early Christians
Of course there was some limited advancement through the Christian era, I remember learning about Mendels peas in science class at school but as the RC church deliberatly kept the masses ignorant to better supress them the priests had a monopoly on education.
I did try to read a book by one author Matias mentions, Pascale Boyer, but virtually lost the will to live after a few chapters. A load of impenatrable gobbldegook, No references, just opinions.

Of course the churches, Roman Catholic and Eastern orthodox played a large part in history. They were all powerful and had no opposition until Henry started the church of England which was just a watered down RC church anyway.
It was only after the reformation and the enlightenment that scientific advancement really began. "The enlightenment" ?. get it. the end of the dark ages.
After the reformation the Church of Scotland opened "Grammar schools" throughout Scotland to further the populations understanding of the scriptures. OF course this had the effect of educating ordinary folk and Scotland was at the forefront of advancement for generations. At one time Sctland had four universities when England only had two,
Christians have been holding back advancement from the very early days of Christianity. I recommend you read " The darkening age-- the Christian destruction of the classical world" by academic Catherine Nixey. A fascinating read and definitely not mythology.

Of course religion has been beneficial to mankind but that is probably far outweighed by the harm done.
Christianity had it's inquisitions and crusades and it held Europe back for hundreds of years in the dark ages. Islam conquered much of North Africa and Europe (was that a good thing?) and now produces some nasty terrorists.
I had some hope for Buddhism, if it is really a religion, but the treatment of the Rohingya people in Myanmar has been particularly brutal.

Is there such a thing as "religion"?
Moravian comments on Jun 2, 2019:
"Each of these modules can also be found in non-religious contexts," Do they ?. Certainly not in my life apart from music and dance.
Moravian replies on Jun 3, 2019:
@Wurlitzer I'm not sure waht point the poster was trying to make. That certain behaviours are transferable between a secular and religious lifestyle ?
I agree with you up to a point but
1. Dharma and Karma come from buddhism which in some quarters not even qualify as a religion because in most disciplines there is no diety to worship
2.Those are stories not myths although some may merge at times.
3.We may be creatures of habit. ie I have two mugs of coffee each morning but it is not a ritual. there is a big difference
4.There s no such thing as magic. As you say it is illusion.
5. Taboos are a cultural phenomena
6.They probably occur in religion. the cross, star of David etc and in secular life, a fan's football strip etc.
7.There is some great religious music. Handel's Messiah is the usual one listed but I often sing carols at Christmas but I don't take any notice of the lyrics just as I don't take a lot of notice of the lyrics of some of my favourite rock songs.
8.Certainly this occurs and in some animist or pagan religions psychedelic plants are used as a sacrament
9,Purely a religious concept I think
10.Yes like most people I have moral rules much more so than someone who follows the instructions of the old testament
11.The sacrifices in religion, from Incas sacrificing babies (if they did) to RC's not eating meat on a Friday are quite different from a mother giving up food so that her children are fed. surely it is the meaning behind the sacrifice that is important and they are totally different
12.A cultural thing but they do cross over for example saying "Jesus Christ" when something goes wrong could be a good example of both.
There are certainly similarities in secular and religious life but without the core worshiping or at least the belief in a diety it is a bit meaningless. .

"Each of these modules can also be found in non-religious contexts," Do they ?. Certainly not in my life apart from music and dance.
Moravian replies on Jun 3, 2019:
@Wurlitzer I'm not sure waht point the poster was trying to make. That certain behaviours are transferable between a secular and religious lifestyle ?
I agree with you up to a point but
1. Dharma and Karma come from buddhism which in some quarters not even qualify as a religion because in most disciplines there is no diety to worship
2.Those are stories not myths although some may merge at times.
3.We may be creatures of habit. ie I have two mugs of coffee each morning but it is not a ritual. there is a big difference
4.There s no such thing as magic. As you say it is illusion.
5. Taboos are a cultural phenomena
6.They probably occur in religion. the cross, star of David etc and in secular life, a fan's football strip etc.
7.There is some great religious music. Handel's Messiah is the usual one listed but I often sing carols at Christmas but I don't take any notice of the lyrics just as I don't take a lot of notice of the lyrics of some of my favourite rock songs.
8.Certainly this occurs and in some animist or pagan religions psychedelic plants are used as a sacrament
9,Purely a religious concept I think
10.Yes like most people I have moral rules much more so than someone who follows the instructions of the old testament

Didn't know that. I remember her in "The Wicker Man" Certainly wasn't innocent in that.

Giving homes to the homeless is cheaper than leaving them on the streets - Vox
Moravian comments on Jun 2, 2019:
Sure but then we wouldn't have that feeling of superiority when we see a homeless beggar on the street.
Moravian replies on Jun 2, 2019:
@altschmerz I saw a video of Trump's daughter Ivanka being interviewed. She said when was much younger she was walking to Trump tower in New York with her father and there was a homeless beggar sitting on the pavement. Trump said to his daughter " That man is better of than me. He has $8 million dollars more than me". relating to the fact that he had debts of $8 million dollars. She thought this was very funny.

Here's what I don't get. How can we say the economy is improving if there's an increase in the number of homeless people?
