And I agree with you as well. As I stated originally, it's no surprise to me that humans cling to these traditions over hundreds and thousands of years. It's only natural.

I'm glad to find such discourse in a Rants and Flames forum. I know that I'm an idealist. I realize that the conclusions I've come to through anthropological study will never materialize in the world we share. I know that men will always use Religion as an excuse to demean and destroy each other, because that's exactly what happens when you disregard rationality and base your life and death upon the creed of a cult.

I just lose myself in imagining a world where we base our treatment of other human beings on logic and self-preservation rather than the dogma of misinterpreted century old texts that the majority of our population believe as "God's" own word.
