    If you had facts then (a)you would present them and (b)I wouldn't ignore them and neither would the scholars who have been trying to understand these questions throughout time. You did respond to my posts I think, but now you can't be bothered?

    Most facts in this topic, I would expect, are perceived results - internal descriptions that are unique to the individual describing the issues. If a common trend can be seen throughout different communities, you can start drawing up assumptions..

    the problem you and I have is whether these trends are shared through common social factors [as you would argue], or whether there is a built in dialogue [as I would argue]. I would cite examples of dog breeding where behaviours for types of dogs have been passed through the gene pool, rather than being "learned" through social interaction with other dogs after birth. I would agree the social factors could "unlearn" a "genetic memory" (for want of a better phrase)...

    Anyway, I guess as you say enough is enough, especially if there are no facts to present as proof. As said, no facts then neither of us can come to an agreement.

    Relgion is certainly evil. God existed before religion. So yes those who follow relgion are lost.

    Actually since man invented the concept of gods, and there is no evidence of any god of gods existing, then hmm, religion came about to create a belief in gods.
