Men have lost respect for their elders and their ancestors in matters of soul and spirit, which remain timeless.

The modern mentality often thinks itself so superior to the writings of the ancients

Does the boy know more than the infant, the man more than the boy?

Although an entertaining metaphor, please describe or explain how it demonstrates progress in history directly from Biblical Jews to modern Americans.

Are you btw suggesting that the Bible is central to this and that Judeo-Christians have collectively progressed (despite all your previous comments about them)?

If you look at the moral message of the story it is telling you to be that devoted to the God figure but also that god would never ask you to commit an act like that. It actually would discourage a repeat of the scenario I would think.

"The things that are done in the name of the shareholder are, to me, as terrifying as the things that are done—dare I say it—in the name of God. Montesquieu said, "There have never been so many civil wars as in the Kingdom of God." And I begin to feel that’s true. The shareholder is the excuse for everything."
