Tazio, you've been in the vino again. How could you find fault with this statement. "Teaching people to be good is wonderful." We're talking Mom and Apple Pie here. We should have an ethical basis for our society--some values we accept, follow, teach, and expect others to follow. For example: We don't take things that don't belong to us. We don't hurt other creatures. We don't shave strokes off our golf score. We don't stab our colleagues in the back. If we back our car over the neighbor's flower bed, we repair it. We don't break confidences. We don't break the law, except when we do so as a protest, in which case we accept our punishment graciously and don't whine. Surely we don't disagree on that! My point was that if religion stuck to just teaching people to be good, I wouldn't have a problem with it, although there are other institutions that could fill that societal role just as well if not better. Otherwise, I don't disagree with anything you say, although I have reservations about the tone with which you say it. Karen
