Comment by Bipin on November 10, 2012 at 4:14am: How religion evolved, and the concept of God took Shape, what kind of of thoughts the pre-sprtualistic people had, is contained in the Indian Rgveda, this is the biggest literary proof we have. I am trying to bring the great atheistic literature and traditions and debates, which lasted for almost 2500 years

Comment by John Lynch on November 9, 2012 at 11:17am: I think political and criminal can be interchangeable in many cases.

In one word: fiction.
