I apologize for for unconsciously grouping all religions into the same kind
of thinking and beliefs. There are probably as many different religions as
there are stars.

I stopped following any religious beliefs when I was about 8 or 9 years old when all my
questions regarding all the tragedies happening around me or around the world
always managed to end up with the answer " well God works in mysterious ways".
Even at that age I could sense a fear in their voices to avoid giving me a answer
that could offend their God.
This got way off the path of meteorites. This subject is over and done with.
Thanks everyone one for their opinions.
