Interesting Find in Turkey

So that's how they did it!

Quote:How Roman priests walked through the “Gates to Hell” — and came back

Quote:Romans staged elaborate sacrificial rituals in which castrated priests walked through the "Gates to Hell," carrying with them healthy bulls. The priests would return unscathed, while the sacrificial animals would succumb to the Gods. Now, a new study has found the secret to this ancient ritual.

Learn a new technology or secret and baffle/intimidate the ignorant with it. Sounds like most religions.
If you get to thinking you’re a person of some influence, try ordering somebody else’s dog around.

The priests must have prayed hard enough to Jesus !!!!!
 The granting of a pardon is an imputation of guilt, and the acceptance a confession of it.

At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'

There were similar theories about the Oracle of Delphi.

And of course Native Americans in the SW used peyote.  Apparently you have to be stoned out of your gourd to see any gods!
