I went fishing last weekend. The water was very clear, and I had polarized sunglasses on, so I could see pretty far down into the water.
I wasn't having any luck with a diving lure I was using. So I tried an experiment - I dragged the lure in the clear water below the pier I was using. I noticed that if I dragged it at just the right speed, so that it developed just the right wiggle, the bluegill would instantly gather around it - like "boom" and they were there. If I dragged it faster or slower, no activity. Something about the speed and wiggle of the lure had to be *just right* to trigger the behavior.
Now, when a fine bottom goes shimmying by, I'm like a bluegill to a dragged lure. It's just nature. Does that mean I'm going to bite? Obviously not. I only bite if asked. :)
So, your religion asks you to deny what is most basic about you - your animal heritage. This is good? No - it's the origin of all evil. Religion may have been pertinent at some time, but now it's just historical baggage.
