re: #117 Creeping Diversity

First of all, they were cultural rules because religious traditions are a subset of cultural traditions. But if you want to say that these were never purely cultural rules outside of religion, you’re welcome to try and show it. I don’t know how you will manage this. I think this goes against common sense, because you’re positing some sort of revelation in the deep past. I’m saying these rules “evolved” rather than being created ex nihilo.

Right, and I am saying that in many cases, you are wrong. You call it common sense, however you don’t really know.
