I am sure they do, but I really was talking about the religion I grew up with, and if you wish to place it in this classification, then I'd like to hear what irrational defining beliefs you find therein. > Most of the argument on this list is about the supernatural > religions however and those are what I was addressing. Oh, but you clearly mentioned the Gita, and by implication the story surrounding its origin [my favourite story in the world after all, and I do love the fact that the book originated as nothing than an exhortation for a man to stop being soft, and to kill in battle], and that tradition has enough supernatural to satisfy any fan of SFF. So if you are placing Hinduism here, then how do you square that with the other traditions I mentioned earlier, and your statement that all religions peddle lies as truths?
