Josh asks,

> btw, do u believe it?

It sounds plausible, but I've seen the same results on studies
surrounding
regressive psycho-therapy, and it's almost starting to take on the
status
of an urban legend.

I don't think it really applies to how religions are passed on, however,
as
most religions don't require you "remember" events, you just have to
take
a certain viewpoint, or "believe" that they did occur. Not quite the
same as
remembering them yourself.
