There's a lot about living with nature that is a never-ending struggle, our battle with ever-mutating viruses and bacteria for instance.

Do you honestly believe that your prayers to whatever god or goddess you say you believe in will keep you safe and healthy? And some of those old gods wanted animal sacrifices. Do you do that? Or is your belief more the opportunity to dress in robes with flowers in your hair and dance by the light of the moon?

I believe that I can walk in my life in balance and take responsibility for my own actions and accept nature doing what it does and not have to talk down to people while I do it.

I've missed the point of this discussion. Clearly. And will refrain from posting about it further.
