Guest guest Posted March 31, 2000 Report Share Posted March 31, 2000 We read in the hymns of the Rig-Veda, addressed to the God of Fire who is burning. a dead body, " Carry him, O fire, in your arms gently, give him a perfect body, a bright body, carry him where the fathers live, where there is no more sorrow, where there is no more death. " The same idea you will find present in every religion. And we get another idea with it. It is a significant fact that all religions, without one exception, hold that man is a degeneration of what he was, whether they clothe this in mythological words, or in the clear language of philosophy, or in the beautiful expressions of poetry. -- __________________ Want to find out about Sidewalk Astronomers or make a Dobsonian telescope?
