I wonder if what happens in these cases is that two publishers
unknowingly hire the same uncredited writer who, naurally enough,
cribs from his- or herself? Or are the uncredited writers plagiarizing
from each other (although in the case ot two books published in one and
the same year, that

It does sound as though the credited authors of the texts play roles

textbook by two well-known psychologists seemed to contain passages that were

Of course you do. But you're wrong.

Oh, thanks, that clears it up.
I'm wrong because you say I am.

The underlying problem here is that you're simply assuming that what
religion promotes must be highly moral. That's not the case.
jim:
I'm a religious person, if Buddhism is a religion. However, the functions
of religion have always been political as well as spiritual and it is
incomplete to refer to the spiritual function of religion as its function
singular. The crusades grew out of the organization of religious beliefs
