Subject: RE: BS: An Easter Question
"To treat the rays of the sun as "god" was to lead to the protection of the environment and the planet."
Far from it - to place natural phenomena in the hands of gods is to absolve ourselves from any responsibility - "nuffin' to do with me guv - go and tell god (whosever), about it."
I can still recall the battle we had with our insurance company when they told us that the tile which blew off our roof and smashed on to the roof of our car came under "an act of god" and refused to pay up.
We won in the end of course - there is no such thing.
Until proved otherwise all gods and their acts are pure invention
