Those dam Christians, Jews and Muslims! we all stayed pagans we would be so much better off! Dont you think it is silly to blame a religion? Human nature causes people to treat others badly.
Uh...please read the rest of my posting, I think I addressed that for anyone who actually read it. I'm sorry I do not have the time today to rehash it as thoroughly as you seem to need, but "real life" outside of these forums calls. Short version: I think my actual point was that humans will hurt each other no matter what, but religion, particularly monotheistic ones like those I said above, give them better excuses to do so. And I wasn't arguing FOR paganism, since I said only SOME cultures - the Greeks and Romans were just as shitty to their women as well, for all we laud them.
