This is true. Thing is, religion doesn't explain those things either. Religion explains the things science can't and doesn't exist to explain. What does religion accurately explain? Religion's explanations can only be verified (in the eyes of the believer) by whether they are emotionally comforting or not.

You asked people to define religion, & I gave my own definition for it.

Religion explains the things science can't and doesn't exist to explain. Religion attempts to explain things science can't and doesn't exist to explain would be more accurate, in the same way people used Zeus to explain lightning bolts. Er Zeus and lightning bolts = millennia ago.

Don't blame religion for your complete lack of knowledge of what it says. N/A And N/A means? I assume it means "I can't think of an answer"

It's not like all religions are thousands of years old. Some are from modern times - the most popular forms of Satanism and paganism didn't exist before the mid twentieth century and those are the religions that tend to be on the increase rather than a decline, like we see with some of the more established religions.
I don't think your description accounts for beliefs like Scientology, either. It seems to be centred around the big three, not all religions or even religion in general.

"Not Applicable" And your assumptions are as accurate as ever, Ada. You're talking to Ada (Sammy Slimes/Morgaine, not me) so I can't reply. The last time you spent months saying things like that, you eventually claimed that since Ada was a different name it was a different person, even though it was you writing the posts. So you'll have to excuse me if I don't buy your crap for one second.

Actually yes I can, the only real difference I can see between the two is one is still largely practiced. Give it enough time and your mythology will eventually go the way of Zeus as well.

So by calling you Ada he is referring to your well known previous monicker. So just like when you use names nit chosen by others,Essex girl ,slimy sammie and the like. By trying to use that dodge you once again demonstrate your complete lack of scruples and rank hypocrisy.

(With the permission of Cine - er Admin, I am changing my "display" name as often as I feel like it from now on. See how y'all like that! I might use yours next.)

Wait, do you think cine has some control over the admin? Or secretly is the admin? Literally no one cares if you keep changing your name.

Yeah it is. There's so many stories on how everything started that has super beings in the sky that it's impossible for me to take seriously.
