You know, dropped all the "spiritual" and "intuitive" nonsense and went with what we actually know?</i><br /><br />Reread what you just read and wrote here. The term "religion" is being used as a conceptual placeholder for "belief"<br /><br />Thus, "Apple computers" are a "religion" for a society which creates meaning & beliefs through the interpretive lens of "money and technology"<br /><br />You dig?<br /><br />People always "see the world" some way, always have some beliefs about it (for example, your belief is that beliefs are bad - that's still a belief) thus (assuming we are following the original author's use of the metaphor) we always have a "religion"<br /><br />Don't want to have a "religion"? <br /><br />Then either <br /><br />a) DROP the METAPHOR or else <br /><br />B) "see the world" NO WAY - have NO OPINIONS about anything.<br /><br />P.S. If English is not your first language I apologize for being harsh, but it drives me nuts when people misunderstand simple logical structures like this.Pajama Mannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1203082776419426855.post-4984411273370030722011-01-25T14:33:54.121-08:002011-01-25T14:33:54.121-08:00I guess you're candid.
