Gary > You'll have to excuse me for making fun of what is probably a serious situation, but some days it all seems like a very bad joke and rather than boggle the mind, it might be best to just laugh at it.

One might even say that about life itself.

>Come to think of it, if we were to put all these clowns up on a comedy stage and had the whole world laugh at them, they might come to their senses

Anyone other than one of "these" who went round saying that he believed in ancient superstitions and rites would probably cause quite a few eyebrows to be lifted. In fact, if he persisted he might even find himself committed to an institution for the mentally insane. But when it comes to matters of religion, myths, superstitions, hallucinations, fairy stories and fables are all par for the course.

What people choose to do privately, and in the confines of their own home, is their business but the serious part is when people start to follow the dictates of all this, especially collectively and as it suits them, in preference to the laws of the land or the canons of accepted international law.
