[MM says to Todd:] For example, you seem to be struggling with whether religion can cause people to do "bad" things, or not. Just the framing of that question seems pretty foreign to me.

Well sure, people doing “bad†things†would “seem pretty foreign†to MM since MM is a moral relativist (and is convinced that “people believe [only] what feels good to them - and use their brains to justify itâ€), whereas Todd, as I recall, has indicated elsewhere that he’s not a moral relativist; although I never quite understood how he squared that with his atheism.
And I’m delighted that Todd and I “tend to agree†that “it doesn't seem that religion carries any special intrinsic negative social process with it.â€
