Ethnocentrism is what anthropologists embrace when they take off that hat and go home. I don't think I will ever understand religious behavior, but anthropology is the way to try.

[@roncorbyn507]

If the religious didn't try to impose their will on the non-religious, religion would need no criticism.

Most all societies had religion until they became informed and educated.

[@raviteja-gb8iy]

is there a diff between sociological and anthropological understanding?

[@roncorbyn507]

I got my M.A. in anthropology at the Department of Sociology and Anthrology at Penn State U. in 1976. It was about the time they split into two departments. Anthropology is about studying past and present cultures and the physical characteristics of man. Sociology is about studying man's social behavior. It's more detailed, and it focuses on process.

Qigong is magic but it's not superstition. Not necessarily. Read Olivier Costa de Beauregard for details.

An agreeable cult, a TRue aGReeaBLe CuLT, one who's a king kind a kin, and teaches civility in agriculture, and that's why or how we got KiNDeRGaRTeN, a kinder gardener, a kind Gardener, your fathers were not assholes
