If one man can attain discipline, self-control and self-development without needing to pander to an imagined higher force, then the next man (or woman) can too. It's not my religion, it's just my drive and purpose - nobody pulls my strings and I have absoultely nothing to prove to anybody or 'thing'.

I'm sure we did worship animals, trees and fire - without them, we could not exist. Even primitive man knew a good thing when he saw it.

If we needed belief in a superhuman to form a society in the first place (which I am sure we did not, but the crafty ones knew how to get attention and trick others to fall into line - their line, not the only possible one), we certainly do not need it now we are better developed and informed.

Society would not collapse without religion. If it did, then so be it - I would not want to be part of a society that could only exist under such a ridiculous and irrelevant pretence anyway.

Do your facts on religious practice combined with your theories of insubstantial beliefs make you qualified to suggest I stop posting my thoughts about religion, Haunted? Is this why you do not discuss films, because you are not educated in that field?

Doesn't sound very spiritual to me - surely we're all free to explore and discuss at will.
