I was agreeing with Elionnwy's point that ancient religions would use gods to explain things that weren't yet known. When I agreed with her you then objected by saying that our ancestors were rational and not superstitious. My point was that, believing things like lightning is Thor when he's angry, is something that an ancient religion used as an explanation, and I was just asking "Do you not see that as superstitious?", if that makes me a berk it makes me a berk. I thought it was a valid point to make.
