I’m a theist. I’m struck by the fact that 2500 years ago all the major benign religions had a golden age in short succession. Judaism, Zoroastrianism, Buddhism, Confucianism and Taoism, Jainism, Asceticism in Hinduism as well as Greek philosophy came into being replacing some really nasty religions intending to control the masses and elevate the priests through such as human sacrifice.

I’m certainly against most abortion. I see Islam as a step back to the warrior religions. I see the Bible as the most remarkable ethical writing that has ever existed.

Is that what you were asking.
