ch of cavemen trying to
lite a fire, I would be worshiped.  Not because I am anything special,
but because in their minds it was a vision from their god.  It will work
to solidify their belieifs in their religion, and I would get temples
built in worship of my airplane.

Maybe that is why the different religions feel so strongly about their
beliefs.  And maybee that is why they try to convert you to their 
beliefs, "because they saw my plane".  Now, what if I flew over several
villages with different beliefs?  Well, just as rumors and gossip goes,
you would have all these stories about Fish's aircraft, and they would
although have different traditions behind them, would be of the same
awe inspiring event.  Some would build Dome shaped structures with little
fish designs on them, and some would build large fish totem poles.  The
more developed ones would build spinxish F-16's, compleate with all of the
markings hoping I would land and groove with them.

I think there is one god, it's just that different people have their own
ways of paying tribute.  I also don't think people should go to war just
because they saw my airplane at different times of the day, the evening
sect of F-16 worshipers and the morning set of F-16 worshipers.  But
alas the world is a dynamic entity, and we really don't have any leaders
right now that are making everyone look at things the same way.  

From what I see something is fishy, there has got to be some greater
picture that puts everything in it's place.  Whether it is Star-Trek,
my caveman worshipers, or the "one true god" that has the correct
picture.  We will not know for sure until we kick off.  So I say, if it
isn't against their religion, buy everyone a round of drinks and let's
all live in peace and harmony.  I also think that this particular 
section of this BBS will help everyone to understand eachother's beliefs
and maybee we can use that to piece everything together.  What was on
the tail flash of that streaking falcon?  (no, it was a giant albatross!)
I hope I don't see that kind of bickering amongst us.  Man, that was
a deep thought!

Take care!
