eco: "First, tolerance in religion is a fairly modern development." Not sure about that...Seems to me that the spokesperson, 2000 years ago, for the Christian religion was exceedingly tolerant. "Second, it is not religion, per se, that is to blame. It has to do more with our brain's plasticity for accepting improbable (religious) tenets in the face of contrary rational evidence which allows it to be become a willing instrument in the destruction of fellow beings. If one leaves out the bracketed word (i.e. religious)in the foregoing, it then becomes a sensible statement. By including (religious) in the foregoing statement, the statement becomes nothing more than a "racist" type statement perhaps more reflecting of one's own hangups than reflecting any reality based statement. "For example, even the most powerful of instincts, naked survival, is subjugated to the abstract, unsubstantiated promise of an afterlife." So??? Does scientific evidence suggest that belief in unsubstantiated tenets are necessarily incorrect???
