Instead, with the current obsession with organised religion we dig ourselves into a pit. >>
In response to the above, I humbly submit: What doth it profit a (wo)man if (s)he gains the whole world, but suffers the loss of his/her soul? There is no point in trying to twist Ash's poignant prophesy for any generalizations. Religion (from 'religare') is designed to "bind us back from jungle rule. IMHO, without religion, Goans would fit the computer prompt of Goons :( I would like to initiate a survey of all Goanetters on the following question: Are you "for" or "against" religion? Let us plan to close this survey at midnight, Friday, May 31, 2002. Hopefully some computer wizard will volunteer to tabulate and provide the results :-) Viva Goa, Viva Goacom!
