Really interesting discussion, glad to have heard Eric as well as read the book. There's still a lot to agree with and take away as an atheist as well as a religious person. Agreed that there are many things that are natural or socially beneficial that are then twisted and can be used for evil, marriage and childbearing being the obvious ones where women in particular can be coerced or forced within a religious, cultural, or societal context.
