I continue to be dismayed by how many otherwise intelligent people can
be so superstitious and yet be completely unaware of how silly they look
from the outside.

And frightened to learn how many of these superstitious folk would love
to turn the US into another Iran style theocracy -- and again be
completely ignorant of the fact that this is what they are wanting.

In your case its pearls before swine. Don't comment about something you
have no knowledge of.

You really have trouble staying on topic and not going off on another rant.

It doesn't hurt to know more about the Religious books of the world -
after all we have to live with people and countries who use their
books to justify their ways of life.

You know it's all meant as a joke, right? Oh, and I've heard that there
is a group that worships your dog. (You know _that_ was meant as a joke,
right?)

So you _do_ know it's all meant as a joke, and you just don't find it
funny? Oh well, to each his own.

Thank you for the posting. I always knew that there had to be an
alternative to the Xian sky pilot cum Judaic folk lore. Google is it.
Praise "her" and bow down before "her". There, that's got that off my
chest as Jordan said to the surgeon.

Actually, _I_ was joking--my dog _is_ a goddess. I lived in Egypt for
four years and I saw her likeness painted or carved at every antiquity
site I visited.

Is it less painful with special software?

I suppose it depends on the software. It would be nice to have a
source that had all of the major religions that would allow me to
compare a particular position.

Or maybe to compare the Religions of the Book for a particular Old
Testament reference. I read lots of statements about Islam, and some
of them are contradictory (some are contradictory about Christianity
and Judaism as well).

I don't have a concordance for the Qur’a-n (if such a thing exists), I
can't read Sanskrit, and I haven't read the Tao Te Ching. Finding
out how to work in harmony with someone from one of those religions
without compromising principles would be useful.

Having someone else do the hard work for me is a pretty good reason
for computers.

The best software has analgesics built in.

Here's how I work in harmony: we don't discuss it, and we take our
paychecks at the end of the week and go our separate ways.

Not exactly a rant, surely. It was an analogy, a brief
devastatingly cutting quick analogy. That was what was being
attempted at any rate. OK, it did not succeed. You need
background for it, if you could see in the penetrating way I see,
you would have appreciated it more.
