no, all i am calling for is transparency. Can you explain why they should choose to ignore the principle, why its described as religious crap, why the evasion? If its a fine principle in itself, why not say so? these other instances hardly negate its value, do they?
Firstly, For the record, it was me and ONLY me that said “religious crap” and not the other two.
And, secondly, no, I was NOT referring to the “PRINCIPLE” of treating females with respect -why would I need scriptures for that? I respect females just fine without the need to reading a load of religious crap for that. What makes the religious scriptures “crap” is the fact that what they say/assume about the 'supernatural' is not based on logic nor evidence. This contrasts with scientific method where every assertion is scrutinised (to see how it could be false) and every attempt is made to rationally back-up the assertions using arguments and reason/logic and mathematical proofs and experiments and evidence .
