Hi Everyone -
This is a really interesting article about what happens when religions die out. I know that's kind of a controversial subject here, but we love controversy! Anyway, it's something to think about. What happened to all the past gods of history? The ones that, only 500 years ago, thousands of people were sacrificed to yearly, and now, no one even recognizes the name of? It's amazing when you think about it. Nobody worships the ancient gods of the Mayans, Aztecs, or Greeks anymore, but back then they were about the only prominent religions around. What happens when they go away? Thay may not be ligit, but something that was once that big must leave something in its wake.

It is a pretty interesting concept, that gods that were once revered and feared are now essentially nothing more than a boring history lesson... But I think nowadays, the big religions (Christiany, Hinduism, Buddhism, etc.) would be really hard to wipe out because they're world-wide now. And unless something crazy like a genocide against a certain religion occured, the current religions will never die out.
