fuagf, re: Religion and Animals ...

I can only give you many honest and sincere
observations on the realities we both have
experienced. If you have come to different
conclusions than me, one of us is wrong;
maybe BOTH of us are wrong ... .

My position is simple: Normal, healthy Humans
engage in a life-long, relentless ... SEARCH
FOR MEANING. This search results in the
formulation of a ... RELIGION ... by each person.
Yes, some Religions involve a belief in the Super-
Natural, but most do NOT.

I have never met a Dog or Cat or Rat who is
Searching for the MEANING of LIFE and
Existence and Dog-hood or Cat-Hood or
Rat-hood. Yes, they have amazing Brains and
love their babies, but they never Search for
MEANING ... they NEVER build Churches or
Buddhist Temples or Synagogs or Mosques.
For example, Ant colonies have nurseries and
cemeteries ... BUT NEVER ANY PLACES OF
WORSHIP or MEDITATION ... .
