Babies are agnostic

VooDoo is based partially on Catholicism. So, you'll be influenced by the Christian faith anyway.

How about the long period of hunter/gatherer before.
And what do your gods of the stone age say of morality.?
For morality is what we speak of.
Some say it is based in religion.
Other say it based in pragmatic social systems. [reason]

Occam thinks it springs from the desire of the tribal leader to
control the tribe. Reason.
Thus 'the king' is so prominent in human history.
The king sets the rules. Those rules being the king decides
the law/morality.

Plenty of Pagans on this site infer all kinds of ritual from the Stone Age.


Truthfully, nothing was passed down in writing to us.
The nature of worship is open to speculation.

The archiological evidence does point to worship of God or Gods. We can only guess at forms or worship.

 

So today there are around 30 Billion souls of people on earth right? So where were all these billions of souls 12 Million years ago at the dawn of man when there were only a few humans on earth? Perhaps they were previously dinosaur souls that were in limbo for 20 Million years? Did dinosaurs go to church? Where did dinosaur souls come from, oh yeah, the criminal aliens that Scientologist believe in! That’s it, it all makes so much nonsense now! Did I say nonsense?

I’m a criminal alien dinosaur soul! That explains why I’m so darn hungry and evil half the time.

 

Pagans suck - they were obsessed by big cocks, for cryin out loud - I mean in all seriousness - just how did these ancient pagans ever get their religion off the ground? I mean - doncha think it was kind of camp in any way?

you can imagine the high preist, dressed in a gown of silver sequins
with gold sequined leather boots, saying to the worshippers
"ooh dont rub your crystal too hard fellas - you dont what might happen"
or in a conversation with a village chief
"Is that a phalic symbol on your hill or is the witch doctor just pleased to see me"? talk about risque and camp, it must'v been like living in a village full of Julian Clary's

 

Certainly neolithic society was way more hirearchial than our society today.
That tomb in the pic took 15 years of community labor to build, but held
only 3 bodies

I hear so much class warfare bitching, but there seems way more equality now than in the past.

Seems that religous ritual is a human desire accross many cultures, going way back. Stone Age morality? good question.

Yes there is. But society in 2006 is closed off.
Everyone is equal in their inability to do anything that is not proscribed.

You and Occam and all of us. Are being pushed into cattle yards.
Where we, as bovine types, moo away to no result.
