(145 posts)Anyone who has studied religions knows that what stultusporcos says is true. These are academic descriptions of the historical study of religion and most of these observations come from the adherents own descriptions and of course the scripture description of consequences. Anthropologists and Geographers and others have really good information, unbiased information, on the effects of religion on adherents through years and years of thorough studies which are not meant to favor one religion over another or even to discredit religion, simply to understand it. Quite frankly I can't understand how any historian particularly those who study the time during the Roman conversion of pagan religions forward, can believe in it. It is history and that is all.... my opinion of course.
