> dhw: A strange response. A vast area of our planet is being torn apart by disasters both natural and man-made, and in any case people in every part of the world know that at any moment their lives could be shattered by illness or accident. In that we are no different from your ancient, so-called "uncivilized" tribes. So yes indeed, many people do need some sort of god(s) ... as I said, either to explain the inexplicable, or to help them overcome the dangers and insecurities of life on Earth. Those two reasons have always been present, but that doesn't mean the worshippers are deluding themselves.-Yours is a strange interpretation of my comment. Life is meant to be a challenge or how do you prove yourself? I think like my Susan, things are meant to happen for a reason. You had severe maleria and found Lisbeth. Great result, yes? And for most of civilized and uncivilized life folks have looked for and to a theistic level of reality. There is a deeper meaning here.
