Tim, Well, I feel all classical religion is a con and it has survived it creators by many years. the fresh new ones like creationism still have the con men in it. At the start it is made as a con by one man. After a while the origin is lost and it perpetuates itself and cloaks itself in newbies who believe. There some that claim the short lived pope of a few years ago was killed because he was going to change too many dogmas?? Bill
