They just upgrade to adapt to the needs of the society. Religions are needed precisely because of faith. Man is possessed with the fact that he cannot ever really know. Such a brainstorm is so hard that most of us will rather choose to believe in something, than leave the question open. Religions, above all, are needed to protect ourselves from your own minds.
Shamans do not like me, and I do not like anyone. They do not want to be disturbed, but I’m walking close to the crowd and I feel how hostile eyes needle on me. Faces turn to hate when I continue to ignore the rituals of their journey – I do not agree to respect anyone. A group attack of fanatics would be too much for me, and before the voltage reaches the point of attack, I’ll have to respond. I stare them back while I pull my Glock out of my jacket.
Shaman turns away and gives a mark to continue the ritual. Two antlered whipper start their work. Sounds of lashing starts without any cries of pain, though pain can be seen on every face. There are many ways and the pain, of course, is one way to go. At the beginning the spiritual dimension is much easier to find with a physical way. But with developed skills you should succeed without it. The use pain only demonstrates the poor wisdom – or simply stupidity.
