To subscribe to many of the world’s religions is to say that Planet Earth is the only place in the entire universe to necessitate or deserve its very own religious doctrines and saviors.  Of course, none of this can be more than mere speculation, but two thousand years ago the Romans paid homage to the gods of Mount Olympus and today we are exploring the planets named in honor of them.  Yesterday’s gods are today’s myths.  One can only imagine what the future holds for today’s dieties.  Some will become stories, others will be swallowed up into new theologies, and others will change to fit the times.  1/26/2000
