Unfortunately this thread now seems to be generating more heat than light, which is a shame because some interesting points have been made.
I have mentioned before that individuals, groups within a society and societies can have very different philosophical underpinnings and will consider their view of things to be "correct" and other societies' view of things to be wrong. In each case these are usually genuinely held deep seated beliefs.
This being the case the only sensible thing to do is to, is acknowledge the differences and "agree to differ".
