I have never posted a link on this subject before, but other people seem to get a kick out of it, I thought I'd give it a go.

yes fascinating, essentially religion was used early on to control the masses by those smart enough to know it was bowlocks. I think many religious leaders today carry on the tradition. There were a few clergy a few years back declaring that they don't believe in "god", I wonder if they just got hammered and told the truth by mistake.
