Let's say some religion genes are found in the genome. Does that mean
the gods are figments of our genetically influenced imaginations, or
does it mean they arranged for those genes to be there somehow?

Things that make you go hmmm.

Allowing for genetic drift, there should
still be some standard for evaluating their presence, perceptibility,
and effects in our world and our lives.

Any person of any ethnic origin can join any religion. None are
barred, all are welcome.

That is not the case with Zoroasterianism. One has to be Persian...by
virtue of the fact that it is a familial religion.

This is in response to a troll with the handle Bertie.
He has elected to spend many years trolling many
newsgroups. Bertie isn't just a regular troll,
he's spent years attacking alt.religion.asatru
hurling personal insults and false accusations. The
usual tactic of ignoring him was tried years ago and
it failed unfortunately. Ignored or not he continues
to spew his vemon. He has done so using several
accounts, too. Here's one. A glance at the number of
postings shows that he is obsessive and paraniod:

It is said that while you can't learn everything about
a person by who their friends and enemies are, you can
learn much by the quality of their friends and even
more by the quality of their enemies.

Bertie is the enemy of Asatru and he choses to spend
year after year in verbal abuse and polluting much of
UseNet. He's the worst the the online community has
to offer, yet he opposes Asatru. In a way, his poor
quality combined with his opposition is a great
complement to Asatru.

Thanks for the complement, Bertie.
