I didnt ding anyone, I answered a question tribes asked. Wadlinger would be covered in my initial answer as well, unless they both subsribe to the same belief system, I didnt see that mentioned.

Thats an axe you should grind with Tribes.

And using terms like myth to describe somebody's current belief system is rude.
Perhaps it is, it wasnt my intent to be rude, it was my intent to be generous. When I say its a
popular mythos
one might infact agree based on the definition.

1. the underlying system of beliefs, esp. those dealing with supernatural forces, characteristic of a particular cultural group.

2. The pattern of basic values and attitudes of a people, characteristically transmitted through myths and the arts. [/QUOTE]


You know, I could talk about freedom and self-determination as cute, but childish and ultimately small-minded ideals, but even if I felt that way, I'd respect your views enough to find more polite language.
If you find my generous terminology inpolite there really isnt much I can say, other then that wasnt the intent. If you want to go down the road of religion with me, you'll find a solidly jaded indivdual who has a plethera of historical evidence to support the inherent hypocritical flaws in its premise to application.

I dont begrudge others thier path to finding god in thier life, some need stories to affirm something they cant logically explain, as you say "myths it is". The path to god has many branches the ones sullied by mans interpretation of what is expected from the devine are easily applied given the long history of editing, revision, and application.
