He does have a good point about the human tendency to take the concepts of one's native culture on faith and not question them, but there is no mystery about it (...)

You used the word "but", for whatever reason, to introduce the issue of mystery/non-mystery and to come down on the side of saying that it isn't a mystery. I tried to take what I saw as a hint. However, you have now provided a very clear statement:

I don't understand that comment. Unless the title is misleading, the subject is a kind of subject that doesn't really become outdated.

I just offered my views as a favor, if they don't suit you, I suggest you ignore them.

It's a favor to the whole board when you post your views for everyone to see. I don't regret that you posted your views. I see no problem in this thread that would warrant anyone ignoring anything.
