re: #128 Fozzie Bear
It’s kind of a hard message to sell aggressively.
“THERE’S NOTHING TO GET ALL THAT WORKED UP ABOUT! EMBRACE YOUR MORTALITY! MORALITY IS A SOCIALLY NECESSARY BUT ENTIRELY HUMAN CONSTRUCT!”
It’s just not good billboard material.
Point is, nearly all of us have a religious sense, it just finds different means of expression in different cultures and different individuals.
The militant athiesm of my youth was a reaction to my upbringing as a child and to the Campus Crusade for Christ types who infested our campus in the late 70’s/early 80’s.
I have since mellowed and am able to accept any religion that is willing to accept that there are other ways to finding God/enlightenment, etc…
