I hope that helps to explain my supposition that religion is more natural and essential as an anthropological phenomenon.
I always appreciate your posts Tex, and hope you can continue to expand on the topic.


I accept that our current society's obsession with the tangible has limited us, but I do not accept that a previous ideals borne of ignorance and fear (such as hierarchies and "invisible components") have an inherent value (beyond anthropology and sociology) over other theories that are similarly (un)supported - such as veganarchism - due to previous popularity.
