I must give it a go - I have enjoyed other books by Pinker...Ian wrote:An angel stopping Abraham from killing Isaac at the last moment? Yes.Ronja wrote:Je-BUS! Ian, is the cover of that Pinker book what I think it is?
But the book most certainly does not consider religion to be a pacifying influence; if anything, it takes religion to task for being institutions which helped to prolong centuries of institutional torture by placing greater value on souls than on lives, and by espousing intolerance and genocide, not to mention the barbarity contained within the texts themselves. The book's title is taken from an Abraham Lincoln quote, btw.
It's an excellent book. I highly recommend it.
