Then a thought came about…will people in future be religious as a profession? For instance, we have medics, astronomy, and marsonry among related occupations. Such is the way with my love for literature. The moon, as I may not want to be superstitious sometimes sees me mumble a prayer. Not to gods of course. Or maybe because the mind, heart and me are beings fed differently. Only a few thinkers may be religious…of course not the primitive one we doing now. Professionally religious I mean.
