That may be so. But that doesn't make his particular point bullshit.
Quote:Of course hindus worship idols, it's one of the primary effects of all religions the worship of idols. And ideals are only ever held for as long as the leadership considered it expedient.
But aren't ideals valuable in and of themselves? What difference does it make if they are received in symbolic form? (I'm asking philosophically... not dogmatically.)
Ideals are valuable when they are held, and not thrown over for the first bit of skirt or piece of gold that comes into sight. That's what religion is incapable of doing.
