   Old man joe is a museum piece demonstrating stone-age thinking.  Read   
   his full post if you want an insight into how people looked at the world   
   before the Enlightenment.  It's all there: the mystical distinction   
   between "dead" and "living", the assumption that people have been around   
   for the entire history of the Universe, invoking divine beings to explain   
   nature, etc.   
      
   Joe, people have actually learned stuff in the past 4,000 years.  That's   
   why alt.atheism isn't mentioned in Genesis.  Try to keep up, eh?
