There's some things you just can't measure.  There's no proving religeon
one way or another.  You can't prove God exists, you can't prove God
doesn't exist.  You can't prove rigorously that the law of karma exists.
And so on, with all the rest of the religeons.  It is, however, a constant
that every known society has invented some sort of religeon or another, so
people must feel like they need it, or they always seem to percieve that it
is there.  I know what I believe, but everyone else is free to think
whatever they like, whether that be one religeon or another, or even no
religeon at all.  I think maybe we ought to back off on this topic - they
don't call heated debates based on emotion "religeous issues" on the net
for no reason.
