Religion is the social, cultural, intellectual, etc. stuff that is
Man's ( (((and women's))) ) attempt to deal with God's revelation.
Some of religion is actually related to what God said (and says).

I agree that religion can be stupid dogma embraced by the closed minded,
BUT, even though I don't know percentages, modern evangelical
christianity is not stupid or closed-minded, and neither is its dogma.
It seems more reasonable to try to deal with all of experience, and
the supernatural is part of what we experience.
( deal with != do it ).


Sorry this is disjointed ( I got the urge to flame <- last time I promise)
