If you ignored her when she was explaining why she was talking about it, how can you continue to complain about it?

There was no reference to Buddhism, because Buddhism played no part in Crime and Punishment. There was no reference to Islam, because Islam played no part in Crime and Punishment.

If you DON'T bring religion into education, you can not learn. Religion plays a major role in determining societal norms, and this was even greater in the past. If you do not discuss the context in which a book was written, then you can not understand the unwritten values that were assumed by the author.


KenWittlief: Speciation (a new species from old) is defined by reproductive isolation. If two things can mate and have fertile offspring, then they are not separate specie. Evolutionary genetics/Darwinian fitness is interesting intellectual stuff.
