country and religion
- Thread starter Ethernos D Grace

Give them something better to do.
Mayor religion : Christian .Buddhist, Islam, have the same God , there should be no problem. There should only one name for God in all languages
Religion against religion: Remove all clergy.
Try to stop Christians and Muslims from fighting by giving them Jews as a common enemy? It never worked before.

jew are also people...i was thinking mote like isis
ISIS Are young people brainwashed by clerics , That is what I mentioned remove the clerics so we might have peace. I believe Zoroaster mentioned if clerics get into leadership the faith will suffer.

I'm starting to see something new on horizon.....anymore suggestion please!!
Use Syria as an example. There are at least 3 warring groups, Syrian government, rebels (more than one group), and ISIS. The government has the support of Russia, Iran, and Hezbollah. Some rebels are are supported by the United Stakes and Turkey (complications involving Kurds). The immediate aim is the elimination of ISIS, but it is not clear what happens next.

are government and rebels fighting for the people?
ISIS is neither country versus country nor religion versus religion.

lets make sure we don't sink along with it....
Ideas like, "The enemy of my enemy is my friend," are as dangerous as religion or nationalism. The recent history of the Middle East is full of examples of outsider nations taking sides and switching sides.

My father on several occasions expressed the thought that the USA would do much better if we could allow England to conduct our foreign policy, which would never actually be politically feasible.
BTW: I do not consider nationalism to be inherently dangerous.
In the years after WW2, Churchille & Montgomery expressed concern that Roosevelt & Eisenhower were giving away too much due to considering Rusai a friend rather than a country which had a common enemy during WW2.

Did your father how ethics have developed in primitive societies ? Did he tell you from where the suggestion
lowe thy fellow man come ?
TinoJin: My father had few (if any) opinions relating to primitive societies.
I personally believe that Homo Sapiens were able to evolve to a technological culture due to having some sense of fair play & willingness to cooperate with unrelated groups.
I once wrote a short story (never published) about a tribe which gave a hunter's share of food to a tool & weapon maker who had been crippled while hunting & now made tools & weapons for the hunters, many of whom were not adept at tool making. The story included a description of another tribe which did not provide much for a similar tool maker.
I have long believed that the evolution of a culture which had a division of labor (which requires cooperation among unrelated groups) resulted in the success of Homo Sapiens & their development of a technological culture.

Of course it might have been due merely to to passing on acquired knowledge to the next generation.
I do not remember reading about any accepted theory relating to the Neandertals & Denisovans becoming extinct, while Homo Sapiens flourished. They seemed to have the same potential as Homo Sapiens.

The former tribe was successful and after a few generations years grew in population, expanding into the territory of the other tribe which died out after a few harsh winters.
