Religious Fundamentalism and the Judicial System

for simplicity's sake, no doubt, a "formula" would be formed by which one can determine who is guilty of a certain crime. possibly, if a woman is murdered, her husband did it. if someone has sex before marriage it is the woman's fault if she did not prevent it and could have. i'm not really the person to propose precisely what these formulas would be andi'm really too lazy to try to come up with more ideas. these may not be actually consistent with what would happen, but, indeed, reasonable examples based on the history of mankind. at any rate, the village magistrate would decide who was guilty and they would be summarily punished and there would be no recourse whatsoever and no real way to prevent him from simply dispatching people he feels are undesirable.

i have no idea.but remember the dark ages when the church ruled the world? they weren't called the dark ages because they cured so many diseases...

i love how you use the word "tribes".

not to mention that the church is the entity that ordered the destruction of libraries and intellectual material... presumably because it had been tainted by "pagan" or "islamic" input.
