[QUOTE="stevevw, post: 77655585, member: 342064"] Sort of but not just limited to the bible and religion but also in anthropological, sociological and psychological terms as well. How societies breakdown and how past examples can apply today. Actually I havn't focused on the religious aspects but more on the practical ways society may breakdown. More from an anthropological viewpoint. How societies undermine themselves and how humans are inclined to believe in ideologies about life and morality and how that will determine how society is ordered or disordered. You are probably right. But I was actually looking at some videos on the fall of society through a historical perspective, what actually happens, how they breakdown which had nothing to do with religion but S&G came to my mind. Not so much in a religious sense but wondering how did S&G get to that point. What was happening in the back streets, in politics, was there this subculture going on that took over. I know people relate to S&G as sex but that was only one expression and I wasn't so much interested in the sex side of things, though that always seems to be a big part of it. But rather how things breakdown across a number of areas, how relationships breakdown, division, the mindset and how this leads to believing in destructive ideas that bring about self destruction. Actually it does in a big way. What we see at Gobekli Tepe is a temple, the worlds first temple perhaps and all that is left of a much wider community. So even 10,000 years ago we see that religious worship was central and cultures were built around this. These type of cites are being discovered with complex temples and icons of worship especially to animal gods or the shy, sun, or nature itself the elements and natural forces. This comes around 4 or 5 thousands years earlier than we thought humans became socialised from hunter gatherers and developed sohpisticated beliefs. But it seems they were much more intelligent and had an advanced level of belief. [/QUOTE]
