If god is everything and everywhere, we are all god, and all to be respected and loved. There is certainly no need for groveling ritual. To my mind, it's a very good sort of religion, but I am prejudiced. Everyone, of course, will not come to the same conclusions. It is possible to take the premise, first come up with Vegetarianism (all animals are part of god), carry that to Insanity (all vegetables are ALSO part of god), and bounce off that to another Insanity (we have to eat SOMETHING, everything is part of god, --> we can eat EVERYTHING). I think I am sliding off the subject. Or maybe not. love, judith !decvax!brunix!jss
