"Unlike some here, I am not concerned so much about what was before or what may unltimately be an end, as I am about the interum." Glad to hear that. Same here. However, societal policies and issues are very much connected to "we the people" and how we (the people) think--so some of us would like to promote the bizarre idea of rational thought over superstitious elitism! Supernatural forces (now, as before) are the carrots and sticks that the Churches use to control behavior, compliance, and obedience in their pursuit of POWER and CONTROL. The only weapons of the church in a civilized and lawful society are inducement of FEAR through supernatural THREATS. Turn on the TV. It has not changed in thousands of years. So what people 'do in the interim' is very much connected to their capacity to respond rationally to the world and to accept cooperation as an ethic. There is a saying in poker: If you haven't found who the sucker is at the table, it is you. So when people fear the stick and dream of the carrot...they ought to consider whose cart they are pulling.
