When my Dad asked me why I would do something so stupid, I told him that we were recreating the Battle of Gettysburg for history class. He didn't buy it.

Very funny.
We did the same, but on a much smaller scale and in and around our suburban neighborhood. Surpising that we didn't shoot out any windows. One kid decided to test his safety glasses and blew one side out with a single shot of his pellet gun. We all paused for a moment, looked at each other, considered this interesting development, and then turned and went on playing.
Idiots.

Religion rises inevitably from our apprehension of our own death. To give meaning to meaninglessness is the endless quest of all religion. When death becomes the center of our consciousness, then religion authentically begins. Of all religions that I know, the one that most vehemently and persuasively defies and denies the reality of death is the original Mormonism of the Prophet, Seer and Revelator, Joseph Smith.
