[QUOTE="Murdy, post: 1026280, member: 585"] The “why” I was referring to was going way way back to the Mesoamerican polytheistic societies, which their gods represented nature and the natural world, creation, fertility, food, death and the underworld, trade and excess or entertainment. They believed they needed to repay their debts to the gods to ensure survival and made human, animal, and precious goods sacrifices to honor them. It was the answer to why is my wife not getting pregnant, why is there drought, why am I having a bad harvest? Whereas the Native American Indians worshiped the “master spirit” and had daily practices like waking up to honor the sun, expressing gratitude for food, walking barefoot, and paying attention to animals. They had spiritual ceremonies, vision quests, and healing ceremonies. Fast forward to now.. The Christian right should be denounced as heretics. Their leaders have acculturated the worst aspects of American imperialism, capitalism, chauvinism, violence and bigotry in the name of Jesus. So, I agree with you here about religion. [/QUOTE]
