summed up my thoughts perfectly. I'd love to see a buddy cop drama with these two. The cross burning Hip Hop Bunny Hop jacked up on coke and the african traditionalist with his rastafarrian hat and dooby as they fight over whether to play Peppe Kelle or Death in the car.

Just because some religions have moral guidelines it doesn't necessarily mean when your are speaking on the subject of morality it is a "public displays of religiosity." Yes when a person speak about morality you can assume what he says comes from a religious perspective but you can also assume it come from universal sentiments too.

I think you're right that the post-Protestant moralist congratulates themselves for having a like-mindedness, but so do sports fans, and music fans, and political party affiliates etc etc.

If the group adopts similar ways of thinking, then they become more tight knit, which has a positive effect on cooperation, which aids survival. I'll bet Tore could put it much better than I could, though.

The problem being the "group" being discussed isn't some friends, a music scene, or social class - but, rather, all of humanity & the notion we aught to treat every woman like a sister or mother. This is patently absurd, & we know this is unnatural as every known culture engaged i violence on those within & without. Violence is part of human nature.

What exactly would be wrong with treating every woman like a sister or mother?
