Re: USA Africa Dialogue Series - God and Research Autonomy

No. Mono theism did not start wars but it complicated them and put them on a grander scale.

Olayinka

Do you really believe all of human history was marked by peace till monotheism came along?

Ken:

Only the Talliban as a branch of a monotheistic creed can carry out the attrocities and sacrilege to which you refer.

You know, olayinka, though what you say is true, their myths, stories, narratives, poetry, discourses, prophetic accounts, are no less wonderful for that. You perhaps want to dismiss them, and that would be an infinite loss. Every story with reach and depth, regardless of the misuse to which they might have been subject, has been the subject of commentary, which all together amass wonders of thought and reflection and inspiration that account for much of human, artistic, philosophical, intellectual creation. I mourn the loss of the Buddhist statues the Taliban destroyed in Afghanistan not because I am afghani or Buddhist, but because I want to count it as our heritage. A heritage they have no right to destroy.

If you are unhappy over the uses to which religion has been put, we share the same views. But if your unhappiness carries over from the abusive people to the religion itself, then you re accepting their abusive thought instead of rumis or al arabis or the wonders in the confederation of birds, just to cite the great sufi wonders.

Most myths of origins and legends are cock and bull stories and propaganda anyway and the Bible can not be an exception.

Sir

So much propaganda

cock and bull stories

legends

Are you suggesting that it was less of "So, God created man in His own image" and more of God became a "He" and SO,MAN CREATED GOD IN HIS OWN IMAGE
