I must disagree here.  People, back in the day, created religion because
of natural phenemonons(sp?) that were happening around them, E.G.
earthquakes, eclipses, bad weather etc.  So they came up with this idea
that there were many gods (because they thought there had to be some
higher power, I mean, what can control nature?), each had a specific job
(god of such and such).  Naturally, these people, stupid though they
were, did not want earthquakes and famines and the such, so they tried
to please the gods.  Then this guy named Christ came around and said you
all are wrong, there is only one true God.  People said, nope, you are
wrong simply because it is easier to keep living the way that we have
been living (I.E. we are too lazy (for lack of a better word, and I dont
feel like looking one up) to reform their lives.  Anyways, religion was
the result of a search for a higher power, being if you like.

Also, I have a problem with people saying that they dont believe in
Christianity because the commandments say thou shalt not murder, but the
Christians killed (note killed, not murdered) many people in the
crusades.  First of all, I would be hard pressed to find anythig that is
not hypocritical in a way (except the docrtine of the Roman Catholic
Church).  So then if you dont believe in something because its
hypocritical, then please, inform me of what you believe in.

Serial, do you have icq?  Maybe we should talk and not trade emails? 
Not that it would change anything.

Thanks, and sorry :)
