Arrogance of Elitism

I'm happy to become a theist as soon as the first God manifests himself. I'd rather be a polytheist than a monotheist, though, so I hope it's not a miserable, solitary sadist like the old testament God who turns up.I prefer the idea of Goddesses to Gods, to be honest, especially if they want to make little demi-gods in the style of deities like the Greek ones. No question of boring virgin births for the Greek demi-gods. I always fancied a roll in the olive groves with Athena.As for elitism, surely it's those who delude themselves that they're amongst a chosen elite who will go to heaven who are the most open to that accusation?

There's nothing like practising what you preach. But others have. Sometimes interesting new features can appear surprisingly rapidly, like these cecal valves in a lizard population.http://www.sciencedaily.com/...ases/2008/04/080417112433.htm

Examination of the lizard’s digestive tracts revealed something even more surprising. Eating more plants caused the development of new structures called cecal valves, designed to slow the passage of food by creating fermentation chambers in the gut, where microbes can break down the difficult to digest portion of plants. Cecal valves, which were found in hatchlings, juveniles and adults on Pod Mrcaru, have never been reported for this species, including the source population on Pod Kopiste.
