yanniru, did you know that the leaders of the Maya civilization convinced the population that they were childern of the sun? The people were tricked with story telling. But these stories were not total untrue, science has shown that all the life on earth comes from the (energy of the) sun. Religion always has an element of truth. But the after life stories are never true. Humans FEAR DEATH and after life stories releave this FEAR. "each man rises from the ash","all men return to dust". FEAR not yanniru. tOM.
