Just so you know the Vikings were spiritual not religious.

Also I agree that concepts like not killing each other must have existed before religion, but concepts, and laws are very different things. When I tie religion, and morality together I'm talking about the origins of modern societal morality, rather than the origins of morality itself. 

you had me rolling in that rush Limbaugh thread.

just wanted to say hi, hope all is well back in ten. You weren't affected by all those floods awhile back were you? I have lots of family in Knoxville, but most of the damage was on the other end of the state I guess.

what up chris? I didn't feel like bringing back the thread where you left me that last comment, so I figured I'd reply to it here.

You basically tell me that you hope I realize someday that believing in something that can't be proven by science is a waste of time, or a pure delusion, and I have been told this many times by people in your position, and frankly wasn't surprised to hear it again. I just wonder how you feel when Stephen Hawking comes out, and says that he believes in Aliens without a shadow of a doubt. He actually calls it a Mathematical certainty. He has no data, and his hypothesis is untestable, do you consider Stephen Hawking an ignorant person, or a person who's thought processes aren't governed by logic?

God, and Aliens are equally untestable aren't they?
