Given the views from Sweden that they show, I just have the words 'Rainbow Bridge' running through my head.... maybe certain myths were more inspired than originally thought. :)

And the science-vs-religion thing is a questionable issue, really. The disagreement between them is a more modern issue than most people expect...

--
Of all the tyrannies, a tyranny exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It may be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end, for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.
-- C.S. Lewis
