Dog -A Herstorical Retrospective by Cryon Legweak would be even better. A survey of man's relationship to and understanding of his "best friend" through time and culture. "Dog", mankind's best visible friend instead of God mankind's invisible frenemy.

I think you are guilty of devoting too much time to the historical details of these myths. Spend some of that time trying to advance human knowledge, not endlessly sifting through it’s shit.

Muslims surely feel proud that Karen Armstrong proved Allah is in bible BUT, read her book and you'll know where Monotheist idea came from.

I recommend searching this video

3.3.3 Atheism: A History of God (Part 1)

Another "scholar" seeking status. Humans know they need contextual acceptance and contextual integrity to be deemed worthy. Whatever a scholar has to say about religion (or anything) has to do with maintaining acceptance and integrity and little to do with anything else. And be careful--those who may disagree with me--for if you feel the strong urge to argue my point, you will only be validating my point. Scholarly discourse, like religion, is largely about contextual status seeking, not truth.

[Sweden80Here]

You are right.

@8saturn9 "And be careful--those who may disagree with me--for if you feel the strong urge to argue my point, you will only be validating my point."

I know this was posted a year ago, but by telling someone "If you argue my point, you are validating my point," you basically immediately invalidate any point you could possibly make by clarifying from the outset that you won't accept another argument. It's like saying, "Don't argue with me, I'm close-minded."

Just kind of amusing...

[supercyle]

@8saturn9 Oh, and to argue your point, I'll add that scholarly discourse, like religious scholarly discourse, may largely be about seeking contextual understanding. Perhaps you completely understand how every human mind works (in which case I'd urge you to get out there and start working on improving the state of our world), but did you ever think that maybe people are just interested and passionate about certain topics, regardless of whatever acceptance or integrity might come of that interest?

hmm, not sure i agrree with all of it, love her books tho

[fctchk]

01:11 oxymoron alert; " religious thinker".

[lovecraftfan311]

great book

the first 4 chapters are my favorite the latter parts on mystical and reform thinking were dry

[penguinegg01]

Aetheism IS a rejecton of god. Why does she think otherwise? Aethism is the outcome of the Enlightenment. You hold God up to the light of reason and he disolves before your eyes - like a dream when you wake up.

Karen Armstrong is awesome.
