Yes, all the religions of the world agree that innocent women and girls should be killed because of malicious gossip. Hmm, funny I never read that in the Bible, Talmud, Vedas; how did I miss it?

Maybe you didn't study history or you got a latter day education.

Or maybe something else.

You did not miss anything little jeremiah. Sometimes education is a euphemism for indoctrination.

little jeremiah is well read in the books she listed.

There are several maybes that can apply correctly, sorry jec, yours don't.

I can see where you are going so soon, and I have some maybes that apply for jec, but will leave them out for the moment.

[little jeremiah]

All kinds of people commit all kinds of atrocities in the "name" of religion. That has nothing to do with actual universal religious principles.

The difference is that the universal moral principles founded in religious or spiritual values are consistent with each other, and when sincerely practiced, create and foster an atmosphere that promotes personal happiness. Naturally, this being the world that it is, such principles often are not practiced. But the fault is not in the principles.

On the other hand, secular humanist philosophies create more havoc and misery the more closely they are followed.
