Many people who, not feeling that they satisfactorily know why they're here, or having some other kind of questions about the human condition in general, turn to the humanities- religion, philosophy, metaphysics, etc.- to figure out their existential purpose, or the reason why things are the way they are. Some of these disciplines are mutually exclusive with one another, i.e. Roman Catholicism with Wicca. Many, however, arent- depending on how abstractly your mind can think (and NO, this is NOT a drug reference) and many people fashion their own world view using many of these, and some use few. Many change their views over time as life's experiences prompt them to. It pays, then, to be open to others views and discuss them- it can only enrich us... ...but not here. I appreciate your interest in my message, but let's kill this thread, please? Best regards, Sam P.S. I DO respect your view; please return the courtesy. :) == "Punk's not dead (it just sucks right now)" | "I'm not Punk, I'm New-Wave!" ...quit whining... http://www.geocities.com/SunsetStrip/Backstage/6507 _________________________________________________________ DO YOU YAHOO!?
