Often I have spent my time thinking about the harm of the Abrahamic religions on ancient societies. Man has through history in various cultures expressed profound thoughts on ethics and morality. Unfortunately, such thoughts are often purged through socioeconomic incentives, eliminated by violence and crushed by ideas from God's 'favored' people.
Ideas should be stated to be better ideas if they on the whole cause less harm. Opinions should be stated to be better opinions if they cause less harm. Ideas that stand the test of time and hold value in today's world should be gathered and savored. The fallacy that the truth of an idea only makes sense during a particular period of time in a particular context should be closely scrutinized and contested.
It is my personal wish to see, contrast and compare ancient voices. To draw upon their wisdom as the struggle to extinguish them is ongoing. The harm to ancient civilizations continues and millions even today i believe continue to suffer because of a lack of understanding.
Here i hope to share stories of value that i have come across, questions and suggestions are welcome and i would hope to document ideas which I hope would be beneficial to a few who cross the blog.
