Well Nate, I have to agree with you based on the evidence I have seen so far. It
just seems so obvious that there are many ways of examining reality, some more
accurate than others (like science) but some have a longer history and more
profound impact on the psychology of Man (religion). I dont question that they
both co-exist, but I am interested in accuracy by choice. Religion and the god
concept may indeed pander to human nature, that is why it is successful - not
because it is good, or right - but because it got in the door first and had a cozy
little mind space to breed and propagate. Ill stick with my old quote.
