Mythology & Folklore - November 2006

How can a man spend so much time sitting around doing nothing and sometimes catching nothing, only to claim he had a good time and is looking forward to going back to do the same again?
Then why waste your time claiming that fishing at sea is so heavenly?

I don't want this coming from a certain religion standpoint, but just either scientific truths, or facts from where or whenever. I just want to know, is it possible that Zeus and Ares and all of them could have existed?

Who has heard about David Ickes theory about reptiles from another dimension trying to take over earth? He also said that they are responsible for 9/11. Does anyone else believe his theories are worth looking into?

I would like to start to use crystals to see if it will add something to my house like protective and calming and mind clearing. I'd also like to learn about herbs also, No, I'm not a witch or anything I just thought I would try to let nature do its thing and see how it goes. Plus different crystals are pretty....

I think religion has four components
1. Belief in God or holding up a vision about the creation, maintenance, or destruction of the universe. Belief in God can either be monotheistic or polytheistic.
2.rituals and customs
3. myths by which the philosophy of a religion unfolded
4. Organisations

religions can chiefly be divided into two groups
abrahamic religions and dharmic religions. if any other please mention it in answer.
I am also interested in the history and evolution of religions. I see many religions were liberation movements in the begining. Later they were hijacked by the ruling class of the days. Most probably by the feudals, the example of which can be illustrated by the case of Christians during the days of King Constantine. The case is the same when Emperor Ashoka embraced the dharmic religion of Buddhist path. Likewise many rulers of East embraced islam after which the liberative nature of the religion lost. this can be seen as the institutionalisation
