Bill,

I share a lot of your comments on dangers of organized religion.

The major problem however is with people not with the religions themselves.

Unfortunately human beings are imperfect.

Communism in theory sounds rational and a potentially leading to a "perfect society". Unfortunately as implemented it was a crock of s*** and exact opposite of the theory.

The same can be said for religion. Almost all modern religions in the ideal are ok with me. Unfortunately as has been practised it can be shown to be root of a lot of evil, war, murder and mayhem.

But the problem is with the pesky humans not with the ideal religious beliefs IMHO.

Secondly, as far as Arab science you are attempting to tie 2 independent events to make your point.

Yes ARAB science/culture flourished and waned. And yes over time the moslem's have grown more intolerant.

The same can be said about the ROMAN's they flourished and then waned. As well as the Greeks, Chinese etc.

Trying to tie the natural organic rise and fall of cultures with rise of organized religion is incorrect.

In fact the rennaisance occured in one of the most repressed religious periods in human history.

regards,

Kash
