IS the experience of children and imaginary playmates the same as a worshipper and their god? certainly there is a different attitude, at least, with respect to the being in question. the imaginary playmate does not appear to warrant or inspire worship or reverence. the playmate is an apparent discovery or construct of the child, it appears many gods have become well-known enough through societies as to have wide-spread agreement about some of their characteristics. I do see your point, but I think you're making it poorly. blessed beast! nagasiva -- mailto:nagasiva@luckymojo.com ; http://www.luckymojo.com/nagasiva.html mailto:boboroshi@satanservice.org ; http://www.satanservice.org/ emailed replies may be posted; cc replies if response desired; FREE HOODOO CATALOGUE! send street address to: catalogue@luckymojo.com
