By David Hale, published 21/6/2022

Although Jesus is not remembered mostly for his views on a living wage for his fellow carpenters and builders. It doesn't mean he did not have them.

Regarding David Hale-

I identify with British Culture of which Anglicanism is part but it seems that David Hale has lost his allegiance to it's core.

David F said- Colloquial speech is often ethnocentric equating the culture that the speaker identifies with as somewhat superior and better than other cultures.

Answer- Things that David F say also seem to be self serving and involving "superiority". But there's a difference between superiority and superior- some things are superior to others. I don't think it's possible for people to avoid bias- and it wouldn't be right if people weren't biased- but maybe we can realise enlightened self interest- understand that we need to exchange resources that we can't produce ourselves with other communities- learn to live peaceful lives without excess profligacy enjoying the small communities of our families and our extended families and extending outwards in proportion to our influence.

Those that come into Anglo-British culture seem to then advocate policies that jeopardise it- such as multiculturalism- this seems pretty self serving to me.

Regarding Rhian-

Thanks for your comments.
Though I suspect that in Roman times things were bad everywhere. Overall I think that Roman culture was better than others- that's not to say that there weren't bad Roman's- Roman's let conquered territories keep their cultures as long as they paid Roman taxes. Some have presented Caesar as a humanitarian- but this signalled to some as a turn of the Roman culture towards tyranny. Aristotle argues in The Politics that a Benevolent Monarch was better than Greek Democracy which had been corrupted
