re: rabbitoh ---and the big bang!!! debono, shamans began "faith" as a tool for power. They were the bigger, taller, wilder looking in their bunch and so the rest of the herd had to believe them: Yes, sir, no sir, three bags full sir, you can have my virgin daughter sir, you can sacrifice my first born sir, yes, sir, we'll go to war sir. Then... he (the shaman) became a King and the king appointed a hierarch ("hier"=holy in Greek, "arch"=first, top, etc, also in Greek). Then there was -in some countries it still isn't- the separation and so we have the Archbishops, Muftis, Arch Rabbis and all the rest. Bishop Spong puts it beautifully, if you get the time and the opportunity to buy his books. There are several of them. I foun his "Here I stand" and "Why Christianity must Change" great reading.
