Has religion solved anything?

[QuantumOfPeace]

89. No, god-based religious ethics/values are unique, in both application, experience, and conception

Q: "Has religion solved anything? (see OP)

Your proposed way to answer this simple question:
Refute that non-religious beliefs would solve things.

To see the illogic of your proposal, your bogus "challenge", all one has to do is change "religion" to "secular".


All I have to show is that ... well I said it already:

The original question was simply, "Has religion solved anything".

YOU have added a qualifier, "uniquely".

To answer YOUR question, the answer again, is "yes".

To follow up on my prior list,

It would not be hard to generate consensus that some of the peacemaking activities done have been uniquely religious, especially the follow-through parts, where people are involved within religious communities on the ground and in reconciliation efforts.

There is no question that in such circumstances, religion can offer a unique kind of hope and moral appeal. Anyone may not like them for themselves or think they are illicit, but, nevertheless, they are unique.

Similar with family formation and stability. (in the interest of time, I'll leave the details to the reader.)

edit: oh, on the matter of ethical dilemmas/perceptions, perhaps the key to thinking clearly about your challenge might be this: we can talk about a 'practicing Catholic', say, or Buddhist, but no one ever says 'I'm a practicing secularist'. That might be a way to access an understanding of the psychology involved that produces unique results.
