- lutusp 14y ago> First you say the religious aspect of communities is coincidental then you say that religion forms chasm-surrounded communities. Which is it? The dichotomy you think you see doesn't exist. They're both true. Let me spell it out for you: * The fact that many human communities are religious is a coincidence, an accident of history. * Those religions that do form, tend to isolate themselves from other communities, sometimes by trying to convert or kill everyone they meet. This doesn't prevent them from being a community, any more than a community of rattlesnakes is not a legitimate community solely on the ground that it's dangerous to surrounding communities. Clear now?
