Thousands of years ago cats were worshipped.  They have not forgotten.

It was ever the same, no matter how far back you go.

Curious that whenever religion comes up on a thread it provokes quite a lot of responses.

I feel the same way but the church of my God resides in my heart. I hate the way religion gets twisted and warped to suit whatever the current needs are.

  I believe as long as you're happy and you do good on this earth, you don't really need religion.

Unless, of course, your religion is being happy and doing good on this earth.  The word 'religion' really is open to hundreds of interpretations.: I believe that we all have our own, and that where things go wrong is when one person (or group) starts to impose his, her (or their) interpretation of religion on others.

I would bless you for agreeing with me had I not already done so a few minutes ago. (See what you said about being happy and doing good has borne immediate fruits).

The real trouble with reality is that there's no background music.

stop looking for religion in a man made building! Find nature, and it will be there.
