14. YES to the first question. NO to the second one.

Do I think there's any magical, mystical, shamanistic aspect of the moon that exists other than in the collective and individual human mind? NO.

It's a big rock in the sky, obeying laws of physics. It all seems so perfect now because we're living in a world 4.5 billion years in the making. Of course everything fits together perfectly. But if we had two moons, we would have evolved to find that most acceptable and perfect for us.

This notion that we'd better be careful because God or some mystical presence might be offended is pure hog wash.
