Guest guest Posted May 11, 2003 Report Share Posted May 11, 2003 Ok, as I said in my intro, I won't be tactful. Could someone explain to me why so many people have so little self belief, that they would rather believe in a mythical being to rule their life, rather than their own ideas? Is it so hard to have one's own beliefs, rather than trying to tie them to some religion or other?
