"since the anti-religion thing doesn't apply to me personally, kindly take it to Baldur, who would truly disagree with you on that matter"
Sorry to break this to you, Dissident, but qtns and I are pretty much in agreement about traditional religion. I don't "believe in" it, but I do believe that religion reflects the results of an evolutionary process that we should not ignore, and should not presume that we are wiser than. In short, I believe we would be wise to respect the lessons of religion even if we can't help laugh at some of the stories and specifics related to them. But the larger issue here is that we both like you a great deal, and are looking to create a better world which can better meet the needs that you think communism will meet. We strongly disagree about how to create that world, but we want the same results that you want. More to the point, we want you to be there with us - and we hope to get you to understand at least the basics so that you can live there in harmony with us. Baldur |
