Definition of a meme: A unit of cultural information, such as a cultural practice or idea, that is transmitted verbally or by repeated action from one mind to another.

Umm not sure what you mean ... he is just saying "god" is = to "Idea" and the only reason a particular religion/god has been able to survive is basicaly our ability to mould the deity/religion as we see fit... much like christinsanity where god/jesus is differnt for every diffrent person...Where sceptics see contradiction in the bible the religious make exscuses ignore or call "out of context" but where the bible agrees with the individual that part will be true, its written in such a way that you can pull out what you like fit it to your needs (the evolving god)
Did I make a good point? thumbs up Smile I cant help it I'm a Kudos whore. P.S. Jesus is a MYTH.
