And a nice job of hitting the highlights. Seems almost a fool's errand however; any concept of The Good (and - all we ever have are concepts) drags along damn near everything else! we have names for, not the least of which: Good for whom? and across what scale in time and Goodness; is the advancement of a society's 'survival' sufficient ends for a momentary employment of unGood actions against a few? yada

Oh well.. it's always Good to try to figure out Good. Isn't it? But maybe a more manageable Q could be ~~ What's all this *just One* True Religion stuff about - especially with all the cross-pollination?
