This is a short list of elements of a good religion from what I have observed. I am creating this list to think more about religions, systems of belief, and social systems in general. Ultimately I think there are some good elements of religions and in making this list I want to capture some of them and add some to the list that don't exist in current religions.

• A community which cares
• A purpose
• A vision
• Lack of dogma
• Consistency with Science and testable truth
  

i was thinking today about economics in general. If you think about economics, you understand that there is regardless of any economic system an implicit base assumption that people are to work. There is in fact no question whatsoever as to why people should work, what is the direction of their work, or anything as such. There is just this concern that people should work, meaning expend time producing some sort of product or service that others will trade for this artificial donation of value called money, because each party is better off.
