The way she described it,while the lights and<BR/>cameras were on her, Clinton's<BR/>personna was the one we have come<BR/>to know on TV.

I am intrigued by reincarnation suspecting that it may have some basis in reality. Just by way of speculation it's possible that actions and emotions might exist as subtle energies and, like diluted radio waves, might persist after death and be "received" by newborn infants. Certainly, in some hindu and tibetan buddhist beliefs an evolution in consciousness takes place upon the first breath of a new born and, according to these theories, the reincarnated human soul enters the body at this time. I have no idea if this is true but I don't rule it out. Of course, one should not build one's life around such idle speculation.<BR/><BR/>The two big bugbears of bad religion:<BR/><BR/>(a) Morality, rather than a deeply considered affirmation of one's own mortality and a desire to enoble oneself, appears as a bludgeon to beat others around the head. I can think of nothing worse than people with these views foisting themselves on others (eg hating homosexuals). <BR/><BR/>(b) Women are hated in most religions. There is no escaping it. They are seen at worst as the source of all evil giving rise to miserable "honor killings" by emotional arsehole males. At best, they are seen as "inferior beings" who can never aspire to higher consciousness. Most religions are beset by this lunacy, proof positive of their essential intellectual bankruptcy on this key issue. Your reference to Botticelli's 'Birth of Venus' and to Spender's sensitive essay both touch on this point. As long as women are not only disrespected but hated for the pleasure they bring to men, for their laughter, their intellects and their being, as long as they are denied an integral and equal place as men, religious belief systems will continue to be worthless.<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the Spender.
