The theist brain is just stuck at the age of six. By the time they hear that god is a myth, it's too late.
Add to that the fact that most will have been told it's true by their prime care-givers who may well seem sane, rational, normal to them, no matter how bat-shit crazy their religious upbringing was.

I think that might go down well with Huckabee and his kind; "I am better than a chimpanzee."
Are you seriously suggesting that Huckabee is better than a chimpanzee?

More like "the inability of scientists to be honest and challenge all religious belief."

Some like Dawkins and Pinker do, some others are fudgers, liars or deluded.

On this rare occasion, I'm going to disagree with you. I am of the opinion that they deserve to suffer and be miserable because of their adherence to, and promulgation of, ignorant superstitious beliefs. If they were happy, it is possible that more suckers could be conned into believing their brand of tripe. Regrettably, reason and decency cannot solve every problem in the world, sometimes you need an enema kit and a matchbox...

To tell the truth I'm getting a little fed up of having my atheist mates patiently answer your questions with rational and sane responses...

Mr RD, your guys call you like that but in terms of being respectful, I will call you Mr Dawkins.
If you actually want to be respectful wooter, which for some reason or other I doubt, how about using his full title and qualifications:

This is pure speculation. You have no idea what is going on inside the brain of the said chimp.
Nor have you - directly. However, studies have been done on this sort of behaviour and the results are very human-like.

And yet you would claim that any 'moral' behaviour by the beast could only be as a result of magical programming by an eternal rule-maker? It's not like they've been studying the Sermon on the Mount, old chap. They don't even seem to have a wealth of ancient stone tablets to rely upon for guidance in such matters.

So, er, before your trinitarian man-god appeared, people simply would not have know how to behave properly? Anywhere? Anytime?

What proof do you have to support your wanton assertions vis a vis naturalism's inability to result in 'moral' behaviour?

However, there is an exception if your brother dies without having had a son. In that case, a man is obligated to impregnate his widowed sister-in-law to give his dead brother a son, who becomes the brother's heir. Deuteronomy 25:5-10 describes a way for the brother to decline this responsibility, but presumably at the time of the story of Onan, that legal mechanism wasn't known. - ADH
...The question is: what exactly does this mean? Religious leaders have advanced different interpretations over the centuries, mostly to justify societal mores.

It's often difficult to establishing what sex practices various writers meant because they used euphemisms--there wasn't a technical sexual vocabulary until fairly recently. Also, the authors of commentaries didn't want to give readers ideas by being too explicit--the "above all, don't put beans in your ear!" syndrome.

The earliest interpretations were straightforward... -ADH

As ever, we come to the only logical and reasonable conlusion based on the evidence placed before us:
Thus the mildest criticism of religion is also the most radical and the most devastating one. Religion is man-made. Even the men who made it cannot agree on what their prophets or redeemers or gurus actually said or did. Still less can they hope to tell us the "meaning" of later discoveries and developments which were, when they began, either obstructed by their religions or denounced by them. And yet—the believers still claim to know! - Christopher Hitchens
