Oddly Neil I have only seen one religion that has critical fellowship . That seems to lay within the orthodox communities. As fir the gooey donkey nodding as proof I agree with you but the donkey nodding is also rampant with in science.
When I read the bible (sitting on the side of a highway starving to death.. I mean involuntary fasting) what I read was totally different than what I was told it said. An interesting book is the Gospel of Thomas. Now he was actually an apostle of Jesus. If that is true it is the only gospel actually recorded from a true apostle. Now Matthew Mark Luke and John were all written some 60 years after Jesus death by followers of Paul (Saul if Tarus) so it is automatically slanted. Non if the writers actually knew Jesus that includes Paul. The Gospel of Thomas us actually of coptic tradition .. which is not really recognized by western & orthodox traditions. The truth is that I know very little about the coptic tradition. There us something about donkey nodding tgat makes me wanna puck.

I've never thought much of shifting heavy stones about for science or religion. The point of anthropology for me is to work out just how stone age we remain. Science wins hands down for me against religion of any kind, but only up to a point. There's a lot of stuff that isn't science that has fairytales - sort of basic fictions aimed more at ways if living rather than the empirical adequacy of science. Freud's 'depressive' rather than 'paranoid-schizoid' position to view the world is one example - and rather like RP's. The problem that arises for me in most religion is lack of critical fellowship and the presence of gooey nodding donkey agreement as proof. I regularly meet people who have read even less of the Bible than me saying it is wonderful. I am not sure the real fairytales of religion are made clear at all in the way they are examined in science. On Wednesday, November 12, 2014 6:33:31 PM UTC, facilitator wrote: > > Good point RP.
