perhaps "Diety without piety"...


I once started to investigate "superstition" (it quickly got very "wierd" and satanic, so, after about a month, I dropped it). Through the 1960's, it was customary for buildings not to have a DESIGNATED 13th floor (in elevators, the floor after 12 was listed as the 14th floor, triskadekaphobia, the fear of the number 13). I never heard of a "god of luck" who has no power over the number 13, but one man's superstition is another man's religion. The superstitious individual may have, and often does, CLAIM to be reverent to a diety), but that is not genuine piety and PROPER regard for "DIETY". So, "piety" is the result of recognizing a "diety", unless you decide to "disregard" that diety. Maybe "Diety/piety without dogma". (This is getting to be ridiculous).

Tomi is right, we always have to define, categorize and regulate everything.
