Re: Trees and stones with powers to throw? Dowsing

...you are making a bit of an assumption that people who erected megaliths were doing it for worshipping supernatural doings and its a bit high handed to state we wouldn't have excellent art and music if not for religion...

Well, if they weren’t erecting megaliths for ‘supernatural doings’ then they were obviously erecting them for something else (corrals for example spring to mind ;-) though they may have wanted to work out one or two (supernatural?) celestial doings as well. I seem to have missed the bit where I said, “...we wouldn't have excellent art and music if not for religion...”

As for Kay Nolte Smith’s quote above (“...that every brain cell devoted to belief in the supernatural is a brain cell one cannot use to make life richer or easier or happier...”) that has to be one of the shallowest observations on the human condition that I’ve read for a very long time. Indeed, if I were a man of faith (which I’m not) I might be extremely offended (which I’m not :-)
