Subject: RE: BS: Religion, which is the best one?
I dunno, Ed. I tend to avoid moralizing about what was done by other cultures, especially by ancient ones. We live life from a different perspective, and I think it's foolhardy to morally condemn a perspective we cannot understand. Americans and Britons have had the bad habit of claiming moral superiority over other cultures that we've labelled "savage," and look where it's got us.

To my mind, interesting architecture, is interesting architecture. I do not favor tearing down ancient religious sites because we disapprove of the religions that built them.
