You are surely not promoting superstition as a replacement? ;-)

that's the best part of diabloguing with you sven, i never quite know whether i'm serious or not! fun to play that edge...

people were superstitious before organising religions, methinks.

so i'm reaching out to them using a pre-religious wavelength.

older than god, older than that 'ole-time' religion even, lol

I dunno about substitute. Common sense and an innate sense of communal right and wrong seems to be the basis of all presciptions for living, even those codified into religions.

It's when the religious impulse becomes subverted to the purposes of political control that a lot of the nastier stuff comes out.
