Dr. Richard Grossman:
Hi everybody,

For more on why politics and religion are so difficult to discuss with those who have different viewpoints, here’s a terrific article by Steve Pinker:

"The Moral Instinct"

P.S.  I assume that most know this from a prior thread, but the author of the blog article (thanks, Mud, for giving the direct link) is my brother.

P.P.S.  If you think you have a hard time discussing these issues, consider this:  My sister is Catholic, my brother an Israeli Jew, my mother (deceased) and daughter atheists, my father an agnostic,  my three step-children I haven't recently polled (I'm afraid to)—and me, well y'all  know about me (besides, “Big Brother” is watching  :wink:).  When we get together, someone says "Nice weather", and then we file to the dinner table and eat in silence...

Dr. G,

Y'all sound so normal  :P.
