Comment on Are all Religious People Clinically Insane? by kasia

Faith is the foundation of belief. What faith is disturbs everyone once they understand it. Faith is the acceptance of anything regardless of evidence. This includes personal observations of how the world around you works. In order to accept faith people must reject observable facts of the world around them. This requires a short-circuiting of rational behaviour, it also requires a serious short-circuiting of other psychological processes, such as the senses, the natural understanding of human rights, what is good, what is wrong, and what is morally acceptable. Finally, the religious person must submit to behaviour that normal people would consider crazy: hearing voices, experiencing miracles, feeling the presence of a non-existing entity, prosecuting people for believing something else, or for being different in biological ways that they themselves have no control over. Simply, when you analyze religious behaviour without the “god” its quite obvious how insane it is. What bothers me most is that there are billions of “insane” people on this planet, and we are not in a position to do much about it at present, and even when we can, and even when it begins to become widely known that religious people are insane, that’s when the danger will really begin. I only hope the sane are able to survive and continue human civilization.

Comment on Trogodytes and Horites – Troglodytes Alike by Steven Saylor

I’m not sure it’s correct to say that “a number of ancient Greek and Romans confused ‘Trogodyte’ with the more familiar word ‘Troglodyte’.” This apparent confusion may stem from errors made by modern translators (with whom the confusion lies). For example, Herodotus 4.183 gives “trogodyte” but the Loeb edition mistranlates as “troglodyte” or cave-dweller; it’s the translator, not Herodotus, who is confused. Any other Greek and Latin sources displaying similar apparent confusion would need to be checked in orginal documents to see if the error lies with the translator. See Gruen, Rethinking the Other in Antiquity, p. 204, note 68.

Thanks again, anti. One addition for completeness on the SBL Secret Mark session — Stephen Carlson on Hypotyposeis, http://www.hypotyposeis.org/weblog/2008/12/sbl-session-on-secret-mark.html . Also, re “N. T. Wrong offered a suggestion as to how scientific method could be utilised” — the link goes to a 404. And Darryl Bock should be Darrell Bock. Thanks again, Mark
