“...if I had been born into a Muslim culture and taught all the things they teach, I still would have thought about it, questioned it, read about it, read about other ideas and come to the same conclusion...”

Sure you would have... Your superior genes would have made sure of that.

“whatever religion of "norms" one is born into MUST be examined later, as an adult...those that prove worthy can be kept and those that are unworthy can be discarded...”

Of course, but only those with superior genes “examine” things... Others aren’t capable.

“if that wasn't the way it was supposed to be we never would have left off living in trees and eating each other. Why would we have changed? Then too people would have insisted they had the BEST way to live. It's unnatural NOT to question and seek clarity and reasess etc.”

Of course, people with superior genes drive cars and operate computers, they don’t even eat; and never die.

“...but religious folk...like Shlama and the little fellow...you can bet that would have been just as blindly Muslim or Jewish as they are Christian.”

Yes of course. Your assumptions are facts that cannot be disputed...

“With them it was merely a question of wherever their birth dumped them...they're "believers" in whatever anyone told them...they get their sense of self, their identity, their sense of what's right and wrong and what's true and false as children...and they hang onto it all as if it was the only way, the best way etc.”

And surely you don’t blame them for that, do you? They’re born with faulty genes after all, aren’t they?

“...not me. It wouldn't matter where I was born, because the entire process of maturing requires, it demands, that you evaluate everything....take very little for granted, question authority until you've verified, as best as you can, the things you're told as a child. “

Of course, not you... Superior genes won’t let you... evaluating thing isn’t part of anyone else, but you..

“..the same with our fairy tale about being Assyrians, descended from the ancients. More than anything, this idea needs to be challenged, severely...because it flies in the face of all reason and common sense..”

Yes of course... Those not born with superior genes never challenge. Hell! They can’t even define or explain what “reason and common sense” mean and how they’re derived...

“.and to believe it unreservedly can make a complete fool out of a person and render them incapable of dealing in the real world...”

Yet no one blames them... It’s in their genes after all...

“and LOOK at them!!!”

Yeah, LOOK at them! They can’t even make a damn sculpture.
