If I were dictator of the world, I would give my blessing to those who find comfort and communal pleasure in religion, so long as they did not interfere with the rights of others. But my educational system would be based 100% on love of my fellow humans and all my fellow creatures, and in my view that principle has no need of any God.-I certainly agree with you, as far as you go. But you are describing a utopia among humans. Your educational system is not enough. Parents have to have proper social values to instill in their children. In my world all parents would be totally responsible for the actions of their children up to age 21. That is when the immature frontal lobes are generally fully functional, and should be moral. What if, under these considerations, all parents had to serve the same prison time as their underage criminal children?-I understand that Rabbi Sacks would tout religion. That's natural for him. But the societal standards in the West had totally fallen apart, especially now that we are seeing equal opportunity crime. If there were a religious revival things will improve. Some articles I've read indicate that religious revival is on the way, and I'm delighted. And I'm still a tought love guy.
