7. A beginning... Dinosaurs had a habit of eating people back in 2,000 BC.

Therefore, all mention of them have been stricken from the Bible.

4. I disagree that religion is the search for justification; it can be

a search for purpose as much as philosophy is, depends on the person and what he or she is looking for, I think. Some people find justification in philosophy or science or art.

5. Try to be pithy and glib, everyone gets all realistic on you!

Bah. It still sounds good and it's quotable. ;)

Of course, I'm just very, very bitter about American moralists right now. Ecumenical religious followings such as the Christianity forms DUers follow don't count!

you for this!:

8. Religion vs. spirituality

My favorite quote about religion -- don't know who said it:
"Religion is for people who are afraid of going to hell.
Spirituality is for people who have already been there."
