This is why I am for 'spirituality' [well-being] within the holistic and system approach. Nope, I have never said religions [all] are evil. I stated some religions [especially the Abrahamic] are loaded with evil elements that catalyze its 20% of naturally evil prone believers to commit terrible vio...

The mind exists during the period between experience and causation (cause and effect). The mind cannot possibly be the result of matter activity then.

mind-numbing??? :shock: Surely you cannot be that ignorant of what is DNA and what it represent ad that DNA was discovered since 1869 and its structure identified in 1953.

You THOUGHT so, but; You missed my point again. Your view of evil above is too narrow and shallow. As stated many times, DNA wise, all humans are 'programmed' with the potential to commit evil.

The usual advice is NOT to interpret the book by its cover. Surely you are not ignorant of this? If yes, the onus is on you to note the above advice and make judgment based on what is objective. I have already mentioned there are pros and cons to religion, theism, magical beliefs and the likes. At ...

I understand at present religion, theism and shamanism, magic are beliefs are a critical necessity for the majority of people given their current psychological states.

We live in a time of high moralism. Everyone preaches high minded ethics and humanistic morality. We also live in a time of nominalism and idealism. Moreover, atheism is the soup du jour.
