Ok, e...Not that there is anything wrong with that?<br /><br />Ok, everything becomes a little gray and murky. <br />Lordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06747994571555237739noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-80173239552549979272015-03-17T19:40:41.395-04:002015-03-17T19:40:41.395-04:00Gene, my "want to hear more" was a react...Gene, my "want to hear more" was a reaction to your paragraph that begins "No society in the world before the culture of the West since the 1700s..."<br /><br />I would have rejected the importance of religion in society, that you express in that paragraph. But I worked through that when I read the abridgement of Arnold J. Toynbee's <i>A Study of History</i>. Yes it is important. Yes it is the opium of the masses. Toynbee, Marx, it's all a blur...<br /><br />As I recall, Toynbee saw religion as some sort of driving force. I still think he was wrong about that. I think the driving force is economic and Toynbee missed it and that was his big mistake.<br /><br />But I would like to know some of the ideas that lie behind your "No society" paragraph. Some of the sources maybe. (Note: I read <i>terrible</i> slow.)<br />The Arthurianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16501331051089400601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-27984622656421611492015-03-17T18:44:15.378-04:002015-03-17T18:44:15.378-04:00Great, but this was a "double" post: of ...Great, but this was a "double" post: of which part are you speaking?gcallahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065877215969589482noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7225373.post-67661527289626072922015-03-17T18:37:30.893-04:002015-03-17T18:37:30.893-04:00Oh, I want to hear more about this!
