Funerals are a pagan rite. There's not any doubt about it.

It amazes me that the most Christian funerals are the most barbaric funeral rites of passage that are celebrated anywhere in the world.

To me, religion is an agreement between a group of people about what God is. Spirituality is a one-on-one relationship.

Me, I'm spiritually retarded, I need to be knee deep in water with a fly rod in my hands, that's about as close to God as I get.

Overall, they have improved, there's no doubt about that. But unless they move faster on some of these high-impact vulnerabilities, we'll always deal with rogue researchers finding the same things,

I'm pagan.
