It surprises me to see you using that particular term
to describe the SB memeset, Mr. Crocker.

{8^D

I too was raised Southern Baptist, then followed
the SB initial assumptions to their logical conclusions,
which led to Seventh Day Adventist and eventually
to flaming atheism.

Another idea I had is about the evolution of
the reincarnation meme. Could it be that
it started with the phenomenon of de javu, that
strange feeling you someti...ms get?

Note that my intention is not to explain away,
but merely to explain. By this I mean: even believers
will surely acknowledge that religious memesets
have some origin. If one wishes to theorize that
ones own memeset came from supernatural revelation,
one would still need to explain the evolution of
the *other* differing religious memesets.
