During a period of meditation a couple of weeks ago She wandered in. Goddess and I wasn't well, but the same applies to Bride, who's a lot closer to home. Now, you don't argue with Sulis, but She did give me a bit of a surprise. Other religions become a pest, like the African honey-bee that is taking over other hives. This means that humans are making efforts to stamp them out, much like plenty of people have tried to do with Christian missionaries.
Religions have an advantage.
They can adapt faster than honey-bees. It's usually called heresy, and can still be regarded as a nuisance. This isn't actually a new idea. I'm an enthusiastic Gaian, but this was proposed by an enthusiastic Darwinist, Richard Dawkins. I dislike his attitude, but he's had some good ideas, so I'm integrating them into my interpretation of Gaianism.
