We do not have Walmart but they own the Asda chain. I rarely venture into their stores but once when I did there was a smashed bottle of vodka in one of the aisles.

I often wonder about this. I have religious friends who are intelligent, educated people and I think, "can they really believe this nonsense" I have heard of deeply religious people who have a "crisis of faith" which to me means they have had a brief flash of reason.

Not only lefties can have problems. A few years ago I was knocked of my bike in town and hurt my right arm which just hung like a useless appendage after the accident. I decided to drive to the local A&E to get it x rayed. Driving a right hand drive manual car was no doubt better than having a left hand drive car but when changing gear I had to steer with my knees. As a totally right handed person other domestic chores were problematic as well so you have my sympathy.

Moravian comments on Jan 11, 2020:

In Scotland we have a much more sensible tradition :-) and this is taken very seriously. Just after midnight each household has a "first foot". This must be a tall dark man bearing a lump of coal and a bottle of whisky, although now that the burning of coal has been demonised he will probably carry a miniature windmill or solar panel. It is thought that the dark man thing goes back to the times of the Viking invasions when a large fair man appearing at your door probably meant that he would burn your house and steal your womenfolk.

What if there was never religion in the world?

Forget about the Jesus story. That was just one of the many Jewish cults around at the time and it got lucky. The Genesis story is one of many creation myths in the world and can be interpreted in several ways. When mankind had to give up the hunter gatherer lifestyle and became agriculturalists life was hard and distant memories of the old easier lifestyle lingered on ( the garden of Eden). There had to be a reason for leaving this lifestyle. I don't believe these stories were meant to be taken literally.
