*grin* the claims that are made about love are not dissimilar I would say. I know that you don't buy into it here but the claim is certainly made that love will conquer all and the one will be all things to you and make you happy ever after.

In my work I see one hell of a lot of people who are unhappy because love hasn't worked out for them the way they wanted. I'd be willing to wager there are far fewer people who feel that way about religion (in fact there is an argument I've seen that love - as society currently understands it - has become a new religion, and it doesn't hold up nearly as well as the old ones did)

I am really enjoying these conversations btw :-)
