Buddhism, for example, teaches the Eightfold Path of 'Right' livelihood, 'Right' action, 'Right' thought etc.  Christianity also offers guidance on how to behave - more rules if you count the ten commandments (any real argument with any of those?), less if you focus on the two commandments of jesus.  In fact you'll find all the world's major established religious philosophies revolve around the same kernel (not really a surprise...): "Treat other people as you would like to be treated - and honour the divine".  There really isn't that much to choose between them - except that in western countries recent political developments have made it fashionable to denigrate any power-base connected with the outmoded establishment.

Are you familiar with the caste system of the Indian sub-continent?  Their society establishes a powerful hierarchy of power.  The same hierarchies are patently obvious in confucionist china - find me a society that doesn't have them and I'll give you a cookie.  (I did once live in a non-hierarchical concesus community - but it was destroyed from within by some people who were nominally interested in eastern philosophies...buddhism, yoga and so on...who were keen to establish a heirarchy of power that put them above the other members).

Ah there we are - I did try to avoid using the word 'patriarchal' above, but thanks for making it clear that this is just a fashionable political attack that doesn't bother to assess all the evidence in any disinterested manner.  Can you really claim that Indian and Chinese societies are not patriarchal?  Buddhism is connected to a patriarchal super-being (Buddha) and encourages its followers to think of their lives as being judged and as the master plan being impervious to the pleas of puny mortals.  Even Taoism considers mortals to be puny and at the mercy of the Tao, although it's the only religion that stops short of personifying the divine force.

"This statement is not true."  There, fixed that for you.

This statement is not true either - Buddhist temples set their priests above the common herd and used tithes and donations to accrue wealth in concrete form while the unenlightened peasants starved.

There is no validity in your arguments at all, Yigal - not least because you appear to be seeking evidence to support your position, rather than reviewing the evidence in order to arrive at a position.
