[QUOTE="Mark Robert Hopkins, post: 229135, member: 139485"] [indent] Just because one is an atheist or non-believer in the 'old ways' does not justify assuming that such behavior (sorry, "behaviour") toward the dead is acceptable. To say that their spiritual concepts were "ill-founded" is placing [i]to[/i] much confidence in your own beliefs. [b][i]They[/i][/b] believed a certain way, and the first step to learning about past civilizations is by maintaining an open mind regarding them. Bob, I am not saying that this is the case with you; I am just making a general statement. That said, excavations can prove fruitful if such is the case for the purpose of learning. Such findings can help humanity now or even in future generations. This, in my opinion, is not a bad thing. As both a deist and researcher, I suggest a balance, if one is possible.[/indent] [/QUOTE]
