[QUOTE="stevevw, post: 77658183, member: 342064"] Heres a pretty good list from Bloom which contains just about every nation. [URL unfurl="true"]http://sonic.net/~rteeter/grtbloom.html[/URL] Hey thats what I said. But we were talking about the western canon and the bible is part of the western canon and in fact foundational. And yes the bible is no western just like other canon texts don't originate from the west. They make the canon because regardless of the origin they are pivotal to western thought and ideas about truth. I am talking about the core western truths about morality, values, how to treat others. Obviously the bible at one stage was the only book literally. Then came all the other texts based on this. For example the bible truth of the Golden Rule. That has been written about and analysed throughout history as a basic principle that underpins philosophy, psychology ect from which other texts have expanded on. Well he m,akes good sense to millions especially those he has helped in his practice but also many males with his 12 steps for life. A good insight into his philosophy is the first step which is to stand upright, shoulders back and look the world in the eye instead of being crouched and looking down. Then to clean up your room as you can't clean up your life if your environment is in chaos. He his papers have been cited over 20,000 times so he must be making some sense. Very down to earth and intelligent man who gives great insight psychologically and philosophically into people and how we can live a better life. It seems you have more of the problem that you want to focus on the man more than the content. Thats because your more consumed with logical fallacies than the content. If you don't understand the reasons why these canon texts hold importance, the lessons and life principles they capture than theres no explaining to you. [/QUOTE]
