Being judgemental suggests that one has *all* the facts of the
matter at hand and one stands on an independant platform;
attributes that very few - if any - bear.
But religion, as a force or capacity available to intelligent man as a
direct result of being a creation of intelligence within a closed
system with no obvious evidence of outside intervention, suggests
to that it is an event horizon for enquiry for both philosophical and
scientific criterea. It is a part of us and who really are we if we don't
know what we are?
