Some day you should read Plato and Aristotle. Looking at a video does not make you an expert.

Maybe if I had nothing but free time on my hands. Aristotle's writing style is remarkably dry and painful to read. I would rather have an expert tell me about Aristotle.

It is probably a relic of my science college education. None of us ever actually read Einstein's original papers on special and general relativity - we learned about relativity and quantum mechanics from experts and text books.

Nobody is purging religion in America. People are walking away from it because it creates dissension and hate.
It has no answers and is just a way to fleece the people.

Organized religion practice is inferior to self spiritual enlightenment; but thats all must get exposed to
It's not like there isnt enough godless hedonistic non-secularism in America / WTF why not

Good, you admit you have no idea what you're talking about.

The only thing I know about Thomas Moore is Utopia, which might be the world's first communist manifesto.

The words "separation of church and state" are found nowhere in the Constitution.

The prohibition against the establishment of a state church was a wise insight by the founders, given the religious diversity and roots of the 13 colonies (aka, Massachusetts Puritan, Maryland Catholic, Pennsylvania Quaker, Virginia Episcopalian) - and also because the founders were aware of the nexus between State Churches and the religious wars of the 17th century.

With regard to the intellectual history of western civilization, it is simply a matter of historical fact that natural philosophy, science, skeptical inquiry was sponsored and promoted by the church from late antiquity through the early modern period" largely as a result of the recovery of Greek thought via Italy and Islamic Al Andalus.

Aristotelian logic and Christian scholasticim became stale and moribund by the 16th century, and the intellectuals of the early modern period correctly concluded that a new intellectual approach was needed, specifically the empirical approach of inductive reasoning articulated by Francis Bacon, et al.

Someday, we are going to need a new intellectual approach replacing inductive reasoning.

Pagan thought, Christian scholasticim, and inductive reasoning of the early modern period are all part and parcel of the evolution of western intellectual thought, and all played important roles. It is not the case that people suddenly and magically just became intelligent around the year 1650.

Jack: OK. You must know something about him.

Jack: By 'recovery', you mean after the Church burned all the Books that didn't conform to Church doctrine ... yes, I would agree with that. Hey, what's a 1,000 years.

Cy: "Pagan thought"
Jack: They had their Gods back then. They had their 'Religions'. But Thank You for pointing out why the Ancient Manuscripts were destroyed by the Christians, because they were 'Pagan Thoughts'.

Yet one more thing the Bible predicted accurately. ;) Some of you have such little understanding. What you are happy about,...in fact even gloat about,.... only serves to prove the Bible was correct yet again.

Where did the Bible discuss America in the year 2021?

I am not trolling. I am being honest. Your the one trolling,... like always. Boring doesnt even begin to describe your posts. Most trolls are at least somewhat funny. You are not. You are more like a bland mud fence. Just there but nobody every looks at it. Step up your nonexistent game...
